[Loch-soilleir] Pennsic moving dates for next year

[Fergus Stout]

Greetings all,
   
  This just came up in a post on the Armour Archive and thought I would share as we have several educaters and students in the Barony.
   
  Peace,

Cordial greetings unto the populace of the Known World from Rosamund 
Beauvisage, Mayor of Pennsic 36. 

I am pleased to announce that the Pennsic War will be held one week earlier 
in 2007 than has been the case in the last number of years. By the old 
schedule, Pennsic 36 Troll would have opened on Friday, 3 August 2007 and 
the site would have closed on Sunday, 19 August 2007. Under the new 
schedule, Pennsic 36 Troll will open on Friday, 27 July 2007 and the site 
will close on Sunday, 12 August 2007. This year’s War, Pennsic 35, will not 
be affected. 

The decision to move Pennsic up a week was not undertaken lightly and was 
prompted by steadily-increasing concern about the conflict between Pennsic 
and school calendars. School districts across the country have been 
starting earlier and earlier, a situation preventing many parents and their 
school-age children from attending, especially since many can often only 
stay for only the first part of War even though that means they have to pay 
for both weeks. The situation similarly affects our members who are 
educators. 

On 20 May 2006, after six months of investigation, the Kingdom Seneschal 
Group (the Seneschals of Aethelmearc, the East and the Middle, 
alphabetically), approved the change in accordance with the Pennsic 
Administrative Policies. Their respective Crowns concurred, as did the 
management of Coopers Lake Campground. 

By the time this announcement is published, the new schedule for future 
Pennsic Wars will be available on the Pennsic War website 
<www.pennsicwar.org>. 

Thank you in advance for your time. See you at the War! 

In service to the Society, 
Baroness Rosamund Beauvisage, OP, OL 
Mayor, Pennsic War 36
