[Jararvellir] Still more Cheshire Archers Arrow Madness!

[David Thompson-Hall]

(Please feel free to pass this on to folks off-list, if you think 
this may be of interest...)


Since we don't have the Stock Pavilion for the next three practices, 
I thought maybe folks might be looking for something to do, so we're 
I've put together...


************
More Cheshire Archers Arrow Madness!
************

Who:  Anyone interested in Combat Archery, or in hanging out and 
having fun planning, plotting. and crafting

What: More gatherings to make Combat Archery arrows, and whatever 
other bits we get into (who knows, maybe even some armor...!)

What's Involved:  Show up, hang out with good folks, eat munchies, 
make LOTS of CA arrows, and start playing with bits of armor and 
other gear.

(Even if you don't have any interest in Combat Archery yourself, feel 
free to stop by with your own SCA or other craft project, and hang 
out with us!)


When: Three (count them, three!) occasions:

        Sunday, March 4th, 1:00 PM - "Arrow Wrap Up" -
                                      Finishing the first 100 Combat Arrows!

        Wednesday, March 7th, 6:30 PM - "How we're gonna get there" discussion
                                        (what people need for armor, bows, and
                                         other gear, and how we can 
work together
                                         to get it...)

        Sunday, March 11th, 1:00 PM - "Work Party"
                                      Work on arrows, bows, quivers, armor,
                                      whatever folks are ready to start working
                                      on... or just show up with questions or
                                      ideas!


Where:  Jack's Place
	1110 Colby St
         (directions below)

Last weekend, we finished the basic prep for the first 100 fiberglass 
Combat Archery arrows - but we need to finish putting them together!

Once we've finished that, we will start talking about what the next 
steps are, including getting armor and other gear together.  There 
are a lot of options out there, and I expect we've got an option that 
should work for just about anyone!

This get together is BYOB-M-W (bring your own beverage-munchies-whatever)
Pizza or other substantial food may be ordered, but we'll work that 
out once we get started.  If the weather is still blustery, I plan to 
actually get the fireplace going, and if it's not blustery, maybe we 
can work on tactics with a quick snowball fight... and hot cocoa to 
follow, of course!


RSVP if you can, email to jbf at pobox.com, or call 257-1082 (H) or 
658-5802 (C).  You can also contact me if you have questions or ideas 
about what we might do.


I know this is last minute notice for this weekend, and I know some 
people might not be able to make any of these times.  If folks want 
to let me know what times are good for a get together like this, I 
will take that into account in the future.


Looking forward to seeing folks over the next couple of weeks...!


Jack
