[Namron] Info about Beltane

[Nancy Peay]

I'm glad to hear that you included some practice.  I wasn't able to be there this year, and was going by previous years when I didn't get to practice at all.

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.
