*Activity, Event & Demo Reports*

*It Takes My Child to Raze a Village - Weld Lake: *Several members of the
Barony turned out to attend and to support this neighboring event. 80 to
100 children and their adults were at the event.

·         Goedaeth was Archery Marshall in charge, and met an excellent
young shooter, per Grey.  She praised the archers of Cynnabar who came to
support her:  Aeffe, Dillon, Eadraed, Eris, Ivar, Kitch (SP?), Louisa.

·         Grey had 25 people at Thrown Weapons.

·         Ceara taught How to make and Play 9 Men’s Morris ,a period board
game  She noted that there were peers of all orders present, teaching and
working with young people.

·         Home Made Root Beer was provided for Floats, as is the tradition.

·         Great Idea: Ceara liked the Service Opportunity board:  a pillar
in the middle of the event had notes of what needed to be done, and young
people could take a slip, do the task, and turn the completed slip in for a
reward.

*Spring Revel –* “Well Done, Eadraed,” said Baron Ermenrich, with the
agreement of all present! Eadraed praised those who supported and advised
him, most especially Aeffe and Godaeth.

·         79 Adults signed in with 9 non member waivers and 11 child
waivers.

·         80 people in the picture per Ceara. Thank you to Genoveva and her
team.

·         9 people used Gold Key clothing.  Thanks go to Daye.

to Ilse.

·         Spring Yard Sale to raise money for New Member Activities:
$400  Great
result, Ceara!

newcomers get to events, or acquire skills and equipment to become more

Irish, Scottish, Breton, Welsh, or other Celtic period appropriate clothing
please contact her. She already has one or two people with excellent kit
who are prepared to model their clothing.

·         Enthusiastic discussion of other things that could be done on the
list field during times between bouts.  *Dancing by whoever is available to
simple instrument like a flute, recorder or penny whistle seems to be worth
planning.*

o   Kay realizes this morning that Concern about having people to teach the
audience to dance could perhaps be solved by only doing ring dances or
other very simple partner dances.  A person confident enough to dance a
*bransle* can guide one other person hand in hand.

o   *Could we agree on a goal of getting people out on the field and
moving, to have a physical experience? *Let’s discuss!

o   Demo one Dance, then each dancer recruits a partner from watchers;
suggestion.
