Let it be known to the loyal subjects of Ansteorra that:
We will have the first 2012 Norman Medieval Fair planning meeting on
January 16^th at the Hidden Castle in Norman. I wish to extend my most
gracious invitation to all who call Ansteorra their home to attend. We
will begin immediately after the Namron officers meeting (approximately
8:oo pm).
It is hard to believe that Spring will soon be upon us. With the coming
of Spring comes the Norman Medieval Fair, Friday March 30^th through
Sunday April 1 at Reaves Park in The Barony of Namron, aka Norman OK.
We shall be once again raising the Ansteorran Embassy upon the spacious
lands in the northeast corner of the Fair and promise yet another
weekend of merriment and festivity as we share *The Dream* with over
250,000 expected guests.
"There shall be Fighting, and Music, and Dancing. Our guests will see
wonderful exhibits of Arts & Sciences." We need your help and your
ideas. At the Planning Meeting we will be discussing what worked last
year, what we need to change this year, or maybe you have an idea of
something we have never tried before.
We will once again be using a Staff of Directors to oversee the various
aspects of the Ansteorran Embassy. Below is a listing of the different
Directors with a brief description of their duties. Please note that we
have filled only a few positions that just means we need you to join us
and help make this a great fair. Please feel more than welcome to
contact me Bucello da Murano, Ansteorran Embassy Provost with any
questions or if you wish to participate or volunteer. Your
participation, even if for just for a couple of hours, is what will make
our guests feel that coming to the Embassy was the best and most
memorable part of their day at the Fair. "Fighters please note: while it
will be of great help to our List Director to have an idea of how many
Fighters to expect each day, walk-ons are more than welcome. Of course
your Card must be current and armor ready to pass inspection.
_ANSTEORRAN EMBASSY PROVOST_- The Provost is the Namron Medieval Fair
Coordinator. His duties include overseeing and helping the Staff of
Directors, serving as liaison between the SCA and the Medieval Fair
Staff and assuring the entire project remains on track and runs as
smoothly as possible.

REVEL DIRECTOR_- Anyone familiar with Namron knows a highlight of our
Fair Weekend is a Saturday Night Revel where we can kick back and relax
before our final Sunday push. Our Revel Director promises this year's
Revel will live up to Namron's reputation for warm hospitality and
invites anyone interested in helping to contact her.

year's Revel. ******

___ENTERTAINMENT DIRECTOR_- In addition to overseeing our various
non-Fighting Entertainment Venues and activities such as Dancing &
Drumming, the Entertainment Director will help come up with "Lane
Play" activities where we can really have fun interacting with our
patrons. We do not look at Med Fair as a "typical" SCA Event as
here our goal is to /entertain/ as well as educate our guests. And
if our guests are having fun, they may well want to look further
into The Dream.

_ARTS & SCIENCES DIRECTOR _- The A&S Director coordinates and organizes
the Arts & Sciences display Pavilion as well as the Living History Lane
located along the bank of the Namron River. Please contact her if you
wish to add an exhibit, either a small item that only needs table or
display case room or a larger exhibit that requires some land.

_LIST DIRECTOR_- Our List Director oversees the activities on the Main
List Field including Light and Heavy Fighting as well as non-fighting
activities such as Dancing Demos and other activities to entertain our
patrons. Again, we request Fighters who plan to attend to let him/her
know, but walk-ons are more than welcome. And if you wish to request
time for a non-fighting demo, please contact our Entertainment Director
and he/she will get you scheduled.

PATRONS DIRECTOR_- This Director is our Baronial Hospitaler. Our
primary goal at Fair is to RECRUIT AND RETAIN and thus all of us in and
about the Embassy need to help fulfill that goal. She asks that
Hospitalers from our neighboring groups contact her at least several
days before Fair so we can make sure interested patrons are pointed in
the right direction.

held hostage with "endless" duty. If you wish to join us but are not
sure yet on how you wish to help, please feel free to contact him/her in

than happy to point he/she out.

Embassy and then again on Sunday to help bring it down and tuck it away
for another year. The Site Manager is also responsible for land parcel
assignments as well as keeping the Embassy looking Period, clean and safe.
