Craftsperson and Performing Artist Faire at Kingdom Twelfth Night

The Barony of Ayreton is sponsoring her Third Ayreton Craftsperson and
Performing Artist Faire, hosted by Tree-Girt-Sea at Twelfth Night.

The format will be a Laurel/Populace Prize Tourney. There will be no formal
judging as this is not a competition. Artisans are invited to display their work
for feedback and commentary. This Faire is open to all.

The Laurels of Ayreton will be giving special attention to those displaying and
are looking for exceptional efforts to recognize with personal prizes. Other
members of the Order of the Laurel as well as the populace at large are
encouraged to bring largess for those displaying.

Pre-Announced Recognitions:

The Laurels are encouraged to grant recognition and give gifts during the faire.
Some have chosen to pre-announce recognitions they would like to give to
artisans. Those chosen may receive words of fame or a token of esteem. This
could be granted during the faire or possibly later in public depending on the
Laurel and the artisan. These include:

Excellence in Agriculture or Agricultural Research
Excellence in Fiber Arts
Excellence in Period Food or Food Research.
Outstanding Early Period Clothing or Kit
Outstanding Educational Display
Outstanding Execution
Outstanding Late Period Clothing
Outstanding Research
Skill or Promise in Illumination or Miniature

Contacts:

For questions and pre registration please contact the Ayreton A & S minister,
Dame Nicholaa Halden, nhalden {at} comcast {.} net, 630-418-6672

Middle Kingdom 12th Night (The Musical!) - European Dance

Greetings!

Thinking about coming to the Middle Kingdom 12th Night in Tree-Girt-Sea
(Saturday January 15 in Chicago, IL) but not sure what to do with all that open
event time?

Come dance!

Renaissance Dance Practice: 1 pm - 4 pm, First Floor

No Musical is complete without dancing. And we mean LOTS of dancing. So drop
into our class and learn the dances that we will do for the evening ball. We
will do our best to give people a quick walkthrough or a reminder of the steps
before each dance during the ball but we cannot do that for all dances. That
means you need to come and learn! The class will not have a set structure and
will depend on whichever dances people request to learn.

Evening Dance List: 8:30 pm - 10 pm, Third Floor

Set One

Black Almain (A longways English Inns of Court dance for as many as will.)
Amoroso (15th century Italian dance, for couples)
Horses' Bransle (16th century French dance, for couples in a circle, with women
in the center, holding both hands with your partner. The first two rounds will
be non-partner switching. The rest will include partner switching.)
Petit Riens (15th century Italian dance, for groups of three people in a line.)

Set Two

Maltese Bransle (16th century French dance in a circle.) (Arbeau version, as
opposed to the Schiarazula Marizula thing often called the "Turkish" or
"Saracen" Bransles. These are SCA inventions. We're attempting to do the
historical version.)
Gracca Amorosa (16th century Italian dance, for couples.)
Anello (15th century Italian dance, for sets of two couples in a circle.)
Contrapasso in Due (16th century Italian dance, for couples)
Official Bransle (16th century French dance, for couples as many couples as will
in a circle. The first two rounds will feature a "lift," as opposed to a "toss."
There is no "Toss the Wench" in the original version. The "tossing" version will
start on the third round.)

Set Three

Earl of Essex Measure (A longways 16th century English Inns of Court dance for
couples.)
Belfiore (A 15th century Italian dance, for sets of three people--2 men and 1
woman, or 2 women and 1 man.)
Bizzaria d'Amore (A 16th century Italian dance for sets of two couples in a
diamond.)
Madame Sosilla's Alman (A longways 16th century English Inns of Court dance, for
couples.)
Rostiboli Gioioso (A 15th century Italian dance, for couples.)

Contacts:

For questions about European dance and music or to let me know you are planning
to attend please contact: Master Philip White, philipwhite
{at} hotmail {.} com, 817-313-7575

And,

If you know you are coming to Kingdom 12th Night – pre-registration is now open:
http://acceps.ansteorra.org/index.php

Feast is limited, so, sign up fast!

See everyone soon!

Greetings kind sir!

I have been trying to register for 12th night for the past week and am having
difficulty with the registration site...  It is not displaying the Middle
Kingdom 12th night as one of the options to register for...  Is registration
closed?

Please do let me know how to proceed.  We would very much like to attend and
also attend the feast if that is still possible.

Thank You

Lady Morgause du Foret

Last night we had 2 archers improve on their Winter Challenge scores. Henry of
Exeter went from 67 to 70. Nicely done your Excellency!

And Verena Entenwirth went from 87 to 100! Congratulations on breaking into
triple digits and moving into the top 20 on the winter challenge recurve list.
(as soon as I report the scores later today)

Also a big horray to Isabel of Kenniston who came out and posted her first WC
score of the season last night! Once reported this will give Aryeton 9 archers
reporting scores for the WC, tying them with Sternfeld.

We now only need one more score to put Ayreton at the top of the Middle Kingdom
list. Knowing the regulars and semi-regulars we have I can see us easily
increasing our #'s by at least another 6-8 archers. So if you haven't gotten the
chance score this, please get your scores in soon. Also, I will be running
Winter Challenge each Wednesday at the Custom Archery Shop practice. So if you
need a venue, come see us, have some fun and we'll get you in on the fun and
your score on the board.

Best of luck to everyone and good shooting.
(See below for a complete list of scores from last night)
Baron Henry of Exeter:R(ns) # 35 - 69+1 (Increased score)
Lady Verena Entenwirth:R(ns) #35 - 98+2 (Increased score)
Isabel of Kenniston:R(ns) #35 - 19 (First reported score)
HL Lukas Mesmer:R(ns) #45 - 78
