[Twnsqr] To Emmy, Courtier Request

[Kenna62 at aol.com]

Good morning Emmelyn!  I have missed you, and I am hoping we can  schedule 
some upcoming sewing-finish what-we-started time, maybe either this  week since 
it is my spring break and C is working, or maybe against Art of  War??  I know 
you are working two jobs, so if the idea just makes you  laugh, well, I 
understand.  But let me know if there is a time that might  work for you.  :)
 
As far as Champions for Wealdsmere, there are five competitions and titles  
to be won:  Heavy, Rapier, Archery, Bardic, and Arts and Sciences.
 
The latter two require no skill at arms, so they were what I was thinking  of 
for Courtiers, although if you want to try your hand at Archery, or whatever, 
 be my guest.
 
The Bardic competition will be Saturday evening, and includes song, story,  
epic poem, dance, (puppetry, juggling,...entertainment of any kind).   Judges 
will include myself, some newcomers, some peers, and scoring parameters  will 
be published prior to the event.  Last year's champion was Ragnor's  wife, 
Lunah.  It will include Bardic participation that is not for  competition, like 
group sing-a-longs, for breaks.
 
The A&S competition is still being outlined, by last year's champion  Elaine 
de Parfondeval and ourselves, and is up for discussion at the Council  
meeting.  It will occur under the Baronial Pavilion along with A&S  classes on 
Sunday, adjoining the Tourney field where Heavy will be decided for  high 
visibility.  Newcomers are invited to compete, and will be judged  differently (I 
believe Elaine suggested the definition be those playing five  years or less).  
Entries can include needlework, garb, jewellry, glass  beads you made, scroll 
work, leatherwork, ceramics, food, candles, what have  you...  Brief documentation 
is required for entries (not for newcomers)  that simply say what was the 
process, culture/history, inspiration, method,  etc. For the title of Champion, 
entries in multiple areas will be  encouraged.  Again, scoring parameters will 
be published prior to the  event, once we have had a chance to discuss and 
finalize them. 
 
To answer your question, which contest you enter is completely your  choice.  
I have no interest in stressing anyone out, but Sergeants are an  elite 
group, and they should naturally be leaders who at least participate, even  if they 
don't go full-guns after the title of Champion.  Let me know what  you think.
 
Love,
Araviere
