[Sca-cooks] Non-feast cooking

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

hey all from Anne-Marie

I had it from a BoD member and our kingdom seneschal that there is no official 40th 
year celebration this year. Yes, some branches in AnTir are having an event called 
40th Year and it looks like it will be fun, but its not THE 40th year. The West is 
having their 40th year beltane. are other kingdoms have their own 40th year 
celebrations?

for it to be official, it would have had to have had board sanction, etc. This 
event does not. This event was the brain child of the Crown and some locals at the 
time, was announced in July of 2005 and some locals and is being hosted by an 
AnTirian barony with some help of other branches.

hope this helps clear it up? again, should be a fun event, even if its not using a 
capital "THE" in its name ;)
