Cutlass and Corsairs bid was accepted
Theme of 16th century age of exploration focussed on four countries (France, Spain, Dutch, and English)
Mark Evens suggested narrowing theme to a 30 year period and having people write one or two page articles for an event booklet on topics related to the theme. Give your Ideas to Jinx so he can coordinate them.
Next weeks class will be "Basic Chainmail Making" taught by Theo

Greetings Castlemere!
Do you have a consort who insists on dancing after feast?
Did your knight tell you you needed to learn how to dance (and to improve
your footwork as a side effect)?
Would you like to flirt with the beautiful Trimarian ladies but the most
beautiful ones are always talking to the dance master?
Would you like to add to your education as it becomes a noble of the
Trimarian Court?
Here is your chance!
We proudly present the kick-off of the Castlemere Dance Practice this
Saturday, March 7th, 2009.
Baronessa Cara and Lady Milica are generously offering to teach a
dancepractice for everybody, from Shire member to family and friends,
once a
month (maybe more if you are up to it)! Learn all those Trimarian Dances you
have always wanted to master! Spend time with your friends and fellow shire
members!
When: Saturday, March 7th 2009
Where: Mandarin Library Community Room, Kori Rd, Jax
Time: 4pm - 6pm
Garb would be nice but is not required. Wear comfortable shoes and bring
something to drink to refresh yourself.
See you all there!
Cheers

working on. She stresses that she wants the volunteers to have something to
be making/working on etc. during the demo as well as something to show and
talk about when asked questions.

week and on the mailing list. She has invited people from the Stronghold and
An Crosaire to join us in this demo.
