[Scriptoris] Gulf War 18 Scribes Point Classes

[Hillary Greenslade]

Greetings all, 

First, a huge thanks to all the teachers who have volunteered to teach at the upcoming event of Gulf Wars #18, in March, in Mississippi at the Scribe's Point building (www.gulfwars.org).   Without your support and efforts, education in the scribal arts would certainly be lacking.  

Here is the current list of Scribal Classes, at Scribes Point.  
Additional scribally related classes are held at other arts areas at Gulf Wars.  Also, more classes maybe added to the schedule before and at war. 
Please contact me if you want to teach.  

Some classes have student limits and fees; students are not able to pre-sign up for classes except at the Information Point once Gulf Wars begins.

Final schedules are being cross-checked as I write; I hope to see all schedules for battles and arts online soon.  (I know you are eager!)

Volunteer Points: 
All teachers will receive volunteer points for their class hours taught.  

More Classes: 
If you want to teach a class in any of the still open time slots, please send the following: 
SCA Name, Class Name, Description (1-2 lines), Student limit, Fee, date and time of class, contact info.  

Classes will be taught in the Scribe's Point Tent, just behind the Scribe's Point Building.  

Scribes Point Scriptorium: 
Scribe's Point building will be open for a scriptorium during the week for scribes to paint and work on Kingdom Scrolls for Gulf Wars that will be presented to their Crowns; volunteer points count toward painting kingdom scrolls; you can even paint scrolls for another kingdom.  Bring your scribe supplies, or a limited supply is available for loan. Once setup of the building is complete, painting can begin on Sunday, through Saturday noon, official hours 9am to 5pm, with evening hours by arrangement.  

Aide's Wanted: 
During War week, Scribe's Point 'Proctors' will be wanted to help new scribes setup for painting; a signup sheet will be posted at Scribe's Point. If you are interested in being the Scribe's Point Department Head at a future war, please discuss with me.   

Time for me to start making my packing lists!
I am so ready for war to start what with all these exciting classes to take!  See you all there in a few weeks.  

Cheers, Mstr. Hillary Greenslade, Scribe's Point GW18
