[Namron] Info about Beltane

[Jacqueline Reynolds]

I just wanted to point out (from being the Beltane co-autocrat this year)
that we did incorporate a practice session this year for the spang hewing
competition.  Each person received several tries to throw the spang at the
targets during the practice round.  The one thing we didn't do this year was
the free-form spang hewing.  That sounds like it would have been really fun.
I wish we would have included the free-form hewing on Saturday, but it just
slipped our minds.  I hope whoever is next year's autocrat will incorporate
it into their schedule.

 

I plan to autocrat an event again in the future, so believe me.I'm taking
notes of all comments.  It's very helpful to here comments from everyone.

The difference I've noticed over the years is that the amount of spanghewing
has decreased.  In recent years, all we have at Beltane is the competition.
Years ago, we used to have more free-form spanghewing, or spanghewing just
for the fun of it also.  We got more practice, so we tended to have better
aim and enjoy it more.  I'd really like to see a practice session where
people could hone their spanghewing skills before the competition.  Then I
might actually be able to hit the side of a barn with a spang.
