[Namron] Clarification of Independance Events

Fri May 11 13:31:55 PDT 2007

Sam,

Seeing as how this all terribly unofficial. I'll go ahead and put out a 
tentative query as to whether or not there would be folks interested in 
learning about some of the equestrian aspects of the SCA, and if so if 
you and Bjorn would be willing to host a bit of a get together in that 
regard at the previously mentioned Independence day bash? This would, of 
course, all have to remain unofficial, as we don't have an authorized 
equestrian marshal in the area that I know of. IF we did do this, I 
MIGHT be able to convince some of the nearer Calontiri to come down as 
well (no promises). As it is, there would be a lot of work to be done 
prior to doing all this, 'cause equestrian things involve a lot of props 
and what not, plus we'd have to find people with horses other than us 
who'd be willing to come out and play and maybe let other people get a 
feel for what equestrian things look like in the SCA.

Let me know how ya'll feel about this and we'll talk further about the 
possibilities. As stated previously, let me be entirely clear, there are 
NO promises being made here, as there's a huge amount involved in 
organizing such a thing and we are in the midst of selling our house. 
Let me know how you feel about it and we'll discuss the possibility in 
more detail.
