> make. I tried to work with everyone's preferences. If
> you are listed at a time that you absolutely cannot teach,
> please let me know. There are a few open slots
> listed.
> 
> I will be posting a class listing on
> the door of each of the classrooms, for classes taught in
> that specific room. I will also have the complete listing
> posted throughout the area where the classrooms are located,
> so people may reference it. We want to be good to the
> environment and save some trees by not giving away
> individual copies of this list at gate. I apologize for
> those wanting a printed copy, but I welcome you to print one
> off before heading to the event.

> If you have any questions please let

> 2:00 The history of Ansteorra (Robin of Gilwell) -
> This will be a very brief description of how Ansteorra
> became what it is today, starting from the Alamo and the
> Sooners (really).  Most emphasis will be on the beginnings
> of our principality and kingdom, why we became different
> from any other SCA kingdom, and how we continue to be
> different. There is no way I will cover everything I'd
> like to cover in one hour, but it should be informative and
> inspiring, as well as biased and incomplete.
> 
> 3:00 Titles: What do and don't they mean (Robin
> of Gilwell) - We will begin with the period use of titles,
> and then discuss SCA titles as they developed over forty
> years of use.  Topics will include when to use them, how to
