<html><P>Wulfric,</P>
<P>We have a local group. We invited you and your lady to practice. You were already slated to go to the event in Calontir the weekend that we have practice. I suggested to her that you check on getting authorized at their event since I would not be able to do it before the event you wanted to go to. </P>
<P>We have people who are active in the equestrian arts, and yes it would be fun to coordinate with Calontir. WE have equipment but there are things we don't have yet. If you would like more information please feel free to call or e-mail me again.</P>
<P>Thanks!</P>

This would, of <BR>course, all have to remain unofficial, as we don't have an authorized <BR>equestrian marshal in the area that I know of. IF we did do this, I <BR>MIGHT be able to convince some of the nearer Calontiri to come down as <BR>well (no promises). As it is, there would be a lot of work to be done <BR>prior to doing all this, 'cause equestrian things involve a lot of props <BR>and what not, plus we'd have to find people with horses other than us <BR>who'd be willing to come out and play and maybe let other people get a <BR>feel for what equestrian things look like in the SCA.<BR><BR>Let me know how ya'll feel about this and we'll talk further about the <BR>possibilities.

This is NOT....I repeat NOT a formal, recognized, official SCA <BR>> Event. <BR>> <BR>> 2. This IS our family fourth of July party that many of you have come <BR>> to know and love with some added activities for ENHANCEMENT (cept <BR>> we're holding it the weekend BEFORE the fourth) This gathering is <BR>> located IN Kuhneigen, but it's a Bjornsstead party. Capice?<BR>> <BR>> 3. This is a PRIMITIVE site, but camping is welcome. You may want to <BR>> bring your own camp shower this time however....and remember, it's <BR>> been a wet year so bring your mosquito and tick repellent. And we're <BR>> trying to get an idea of costs for porta johns...but I'm not making <BR>> any promises.....lol.<BR>> <BR>> 4. THERE IS NO SITE FEE! Bjorn and I are not renting out our <BR>> farm and we don't want your money. If you want to give money to <BR>> someone donate it to Kuhneigen so that Kuhneigen can grow and have a <BR>> chance to do official stuff in the future. (and maybe even make <BR>> portable showers and privies for us all to use at events...just an <BR>> idea we're flirting with)<BR>> <BR>> 5. Our farm will be open to campers that entire weekend Friday <BR>> through Sunday. Bring your tents and fire pits. Please don't build a <BR>> ground fire. Baring any fireban we'll have the bonfire up at the <BR>> house and there is ONE fire ring that can be used down by the pond. <BR>> Otherwise bring a portable fire stand.<BR>> <BR>> 6.. I don't want to cook all day, so if any group wants to run a <BR>> tavern during the day to either make some money for themselves or to <BR>> make money for their barony or canton or household, send me a letter <BR>> with what you want to do and I'll consider it VERY SERIOUSLY! <BR>> <BR>> 7. Although I don't want to cook during the day, we WILL have <BR>> a barbecue grill running and pot luck that night for the fireworks. <BR>> The more the merrier.<BR>> <BR>> 8. Site is wet, just be responsible and clean up all your empties and <BR>> trash please.<BR>> <BR>> 9. Bjorn and Terrence are scaring up some unofficial activities for <BR>> the fighters, so bring your gear...but unofficial or not, there WILL <BR>> be a gear check by the fighter marshall.<BR>> <BR>> 10. I'd like to have some other competitions with the winners being <BR>> chosen either by our B&B if they can attend or by ballot box. I'm <BR>> gonna figure out prizes, and if someone wants to donate a prize they <BR>> are welcome to do so. We aren't official, so this ain't fancy...it's <BR>> all just for fun. Since I'm the Host I'm not competing...I just want <BR>> ya'll to have fun.<BR>> <BR>> 11. Fishing and boating is welcome, and swiming in the pond...but you <BR>> do so at your own risk. Smalls must be accompanied by an adult at all <BR>> times, naturally.<BR>> <BR>> 12. You know how lots of you live in towns and you can't set off <BR>> fireworks? Hee hee hee...you can at Bjornsstead! Bring a trunkload <BR>> and we'll lite up the country sky! No worries at all...unless there's <BR>> another cotton picken burn ban.....sheesh. I sure hope all this rain <BR>> prevents a burn ban.<BR>> <BR>> 13. Bjorn says to remind that we don't set off the fireworks willy <BR>> nilly. He'll organize with a few of you to set them off using our 5 <BR>> morter tubes and steel platform on the gravel are near the house. <BR>> Safety First!!<BR>> <BR>> 14. The fighting event schedule will be posted when Bjorn and Terry <BR>> get it done and get it to me. LOL. The other stuff, well we'll get <BR>> all that figured out by the time ya'll get here...hee hee...<BR>> <BR>> 15. Lastly, let me remind you again...THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL SCA <BR>> Event. It's a Super Sized version of our Family Fourth of July <BR>> Party. Considering all the extra stuff it would be cool if you <BR>> garbed, but considering the Heat of the Summer, I'm not gonna throw a <BR>> fit if you don't. We just wanna hang with all ya'll and enjoy the <BR>> weekend!<BR>> <BR>> Love and hugs to everyone<BR>> <BR>> Sami & Bjorn.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>><BR>><BR>> Lady Samarah Basimah Latifa al Dhakira bint Anaan bint Mellilah<BR>><BR>> God be with you in every pass.
