12th Night Reminder
Poster: Barbara Bilodeau <carthew@mindspring.com>
Greetings unto all here, from the Autocrat of Atlantia's Kingdom 12th
Night.
Below is the current flier for the event. Yes, I know its not exactly
what's on our web page, but we're working on that. This is the correct
stuff.
Reserve soon: December 20th, the cut off date for on-board reservations,
is approaching faster than one might think! I actually expect to be sold
out before that date, and we're already well on our way there. Lady
Winifred has a spectacular feast planned, and you don't want to take a
chance at missing it. Remember, the only reservation is a *paid*
reservation.
Those of you who are planning to be "off board" could also be very kind
to the event staff and reserve ahead of time. An event like this takes
a lot of planning and funds, so having a better idea of how many will be
attending - and having some money for deposits and purchases - is always
a nice thing!
Thanks and Best wishes,
Anne.
Kingdom Twelfth Night
January 3, 1998
Their Royal Majesties of Atlantia, Logan and Arielle, call upon the good
people of Atlantia to join them in celebrating this most festive of
seasons at Their Kingdom Twelfth Night, to be held in their Barony of
Ponte Alto. Much feasting and merriment is planned: courts,
performances, children’s activities (sorry, no babysitting), shopping,
and dancing. The theme of the day is "heraldic display." Show off your
banners, your heraldic garb, and other items with heraldry.
A&S: The Kingdom A&S office is sponsoring a competition on historic
footwear (shoes, pattens, socks, etc.). Documentation is strongly
recommended. In addition, there will be an A&S display. Ponte Alto is
sponsoring a competition of heraldic display on functional and
decorative items, as well as a competition on winter-preserved food
items. Documentation is encouraged. The finals for the Royal Bard
competition will be held in the afternoon. Each performer will be asked
to perform 2-3 pieces. Earlier in the day, a second round of
preliminary competitions will be held for those who can not attend the
Bardic Olympiad. Contact the Royal Bard, Laird Eogan, for more details
(704-631-0619, mn13189@wcu.edu). The Royal Brewer will also be holding
the annual competition. See related announcement.
There will be a raffle and two auctions (with proceeds to go towards
purchasing new thrones and other Kingdom regalia). See related
announcements in the Acorn for information on the auction and donations.
