<div dir="ltr">Greetings m'Lords and Ladies,<div><br></div><div>Winter is ended, the
crops are planted, and the land turns green, this must mean that it is
time for Beltane Games hosted by the Barony of Namron!</div>
<div><br></div><div>In years gone by Namron has hosted a contest of the
greatest Artisans of the land to see who would be named their Champion,
this Beltane is different. This year the A&S Championship has been moved
to the Fall when their Excellencies will also be choosing their
Champions in Chivalric, Rapier, and Brewing.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This year for Beltane I will instead be hosting a
showing. The showing will allow people to present their works so that
others may see what they have been working on. Those wishing to have
their item(s) critiqued (judged) may request that as well. This review
will not be done by Laurels. Instead the judges will have Laurels that
follow them and help them so that they can get a better understanding of
what it takes to judge items.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This is a great opportunity for people to have their
work reviewed in a relaxed easy environment where the purpose is
learning and knowledge. This will also help those that are wanting to
learn more and possibly become a Laurel one day to learn and grow also.
(Think of this as a mini-Laurel's Prize Tourney)</div>
<div><br></div><div>So come bring your finished or in process works of
art, share your knowledge with others that they can learn and hopefully
you too will have an opportunity to learn as well.</div><div>
<br></div><div>Setup will start at Noon on Saturday at the covered pavilion, reviews will be
done from 1pm to 2pm. Artisans are encouraged to be there so that the
reviewers can talk with them directly. Pick up of all art work should be
done by 2:30 pm.</div>
<div><br></div><div>YIS,</div><div><br></div><div>Margherita de Mantua</div><div>A&S Champion, Barony of Namron</div></div>
