Subject: [Ansteorra-announce] NORTH SEA RAIDS CANCELED!!! PASS IT ON!
Importance: High

Greetings,

A short time ago, I spoke with Sir Kief and he along with a consensus of

the officers of the Barony, the B&B and staff of the event and with MUCH

regret and agonizing over whether or not to hold the event, have made
the 
decision to CANCEL North Sea Raids for this weekend due to weather and
site 
related issues.

The National Weather Service is calling for temps very cold on Friday
and 
Friday evening with rain, possible sleet or snow. Combined with wind
chill 
of in the 20's, that is pretty miserable.

For Saturday, it does not get much better. The chance of rain drops, but

there is still the chance of snow or sleet and the temp in the day goes
to 
the 40s, but still near freezing at night.

Combine all this with the inches or more rain we have received over the 
past several days that has made the site very wet and muddy and it makes

for a cold, muddy, wet mud feast with the tearing up of the site due to 
cars, people and usage due to rain soaked grounds and mud.

SOOOOOOOOOOOO...........

NORTH SEA RAIDS IS CANCELED !!!!

Please, contact everyone you can, know or see that the event is
canceled.

Plans to reschedule it will be discussed Monday night at the Baronial 
Business meeting at the Rayford Road Community Center in Spring at 7pm.

There are tentative plans to reschedule it pending a potential open
date. 
But, that will be discussed Monday night.

We greatly !! regret that this has been done at such a short notice, but
it 
is un-avoidable.

Please send/post or copy this notice out far and wide so those that do
not 
have good connectivity will be informed and can act accordingly.

Thank you for your work, it will not be in vain. We can use and will use
it 
for the re-scheduled event or for Crown Tourney in May.

See below Sir Kiefs message.

Ansteorrian weather is so fickled and has won this battle, but not the
war!


In Service,

HE Niklas Vasilevich
Baron of Raven's Fort

Heilsa fellow Ansteorrans...

The bad news is that Raven's Fort must CANCEL North Sea Raids...

The good news is that everyone can spend Valentine's Day with
their loved ones in a more temperate environment...

The forecast of temps in the low 40's during the day and at or
below freezing during the night coupled with Wind, Rain, Freezing
Rain, Sleet, and Snow on Friday and Saturday morning are too
much. The site is also extremely muddy and the chances of
hypothermia are all too real.

Raven's Fort may well re-schedule this event...but it will be
after Gulf War.

We apologize to all those good Ansteorrans that have made plans
to travel to our Barony...but we cannot beat the weather.

Your good, but extremely disapointed and frustrated, neighbor...


Kief - Steward of North Sea Raids
