[Steppes] TONIGHT: Heraldry for non-Heralds -- Class on Court Heraldry

[rudin]

Tonight, Monday, December 19, 2005, we will have a Heraldry class 
on the topic of Courts -- hopw they run and what they mean.

This class is good for heralds and non-heralds alike, and helps
you understand the meaning of the symbols we use.  A good basic
course for anyone who wants to:
   - Understand what all that stuff in court is about
   - Understand how the kingdom of Ansteorra and the Barony of the 
Steppes conduct business
   - Learn what all those words in the scrolls mean
   - Learn why you say "charter" instead of "scroll" in front of 
the scribes
   - Learn to be a baronial herald
Heraldry has meaning.  If you understand the meaning of the 
symbols, then it’s easier to understand the SCA game at all 
levels.  We will discuss the expected activity in court at Steppes 
Twelfth Night and Coronation -- both coming up locally next month.

In honor of the season, we expect it o be more party-like. Bring 
your favorite libations
