<div>As the MOAS I am very proud right now, but I would dearly love to see more of your beautiful handiwork displayed. And it could be anything - it does not have to be finished, it can be used, it can be old, it can be new, it can be blue! </div>
<div><br></div><div>I am happy to help with answering questions regarding displays and such - if people are interested, we could have a workshop on how to display your items in general, and then we could set up a practice run for Valday. There are different ways of displaying different objects, to make the most of them, and also to protect fragile items and items sensitive to handling, like scrolls that should not attract hand grease. We could also discuss how to create a full picture display with your item in a context versus just putting the item out on a sheet of paper. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I am also happy to help with documentation. The "why" it is made in one way or another, is sometimes just as important as "how", and having someone else read your documentation beforehand, can help you making it better. And having some time to plan the documentation instead of writing it down on site, tends to help too :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>So feel free to come to me if you want to put something on display, but need help to get started. The Wednesday craft nights are perfect to come by and work on either item or documentation. If you can't make it on a Wednesday, contact me anyway and we will see when we can meet. I have started a collection of pictures from A&S displays that can be used as reference and inspiration.</div>

<br>I'd also like to point out what a fantastic showing Cynnabar will have at Val Day this year! If you look at the 10 classes that are being offered -- 5 of them are being taught by members of our Barony. You guys are the best! Thanks for making a great showing of our group.<br>

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="font:inherit" valign="top"><div>I also plan on displaying something in the A&S display at Val Day. I would like to say that this is a great display for beginners to A&S displays as it is very low pressure. It is not a competition, and there are no judges, only admires that sometimes leave you chocolate. Also do not feel your work has to be perfect. If you made mistakes you learned from explain that in your documentation. You may be helping someone else to make their work better. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you are visiting the A&S display, take some time to read documentation on a few projects. Sometimes there is more work in the documentation than the project itself. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also do not forget to take advantage of the classes that are lined up, they are already posted on the website. Several members of Cynnabar are teaching and I know it always feels good to see familiar faces in the crowd when teaching.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The free classes are one of the SCA's greatest assets. Just compare how much you would pay to take similar classes elsewhere, if they were available at all!</div>
