Gulf Wars XX – One Week
Gulf Wars XX is just about one week away. Actually the official start of the war is on Tuesday, but I will be heading down on Saturday with a stop somewhere along the way to arrive on Sunday mid-morning. There are a few things going on Monday, including getting together for the opening ceremonies and the mounted royals processional, but more than that it allow me to get the camp all set up on Sunday afternoon instead of like the last couple of times I have been down where I arrived just about at dusk on Sunday evening and had the fun of then trying to set up a tent as the darkness fell. I am really looking forward to it though, as I am ready for the break from the mundane – forward that is except the long drive down and all the crazy stuff I need to get done between now and then actual departure time.
2011 Midrealm Equestrian Events
What follows is a tentative schedule for equestrian activities for the upcoming year. I know of at least one or two other events that may happen with equestrian activities and I will add those as they come along. At this point, I only have the one practice that I know, here in Kentucky that is going to be happening. If you have either other events or regularly scheduled practices I would love to hear about them so I can get them on the calendar and help you get the maximum participation. I will continue my somewhat limited ability of not letting events in the same general area of the kingdom happen on successive weekends, especially given what fuel cost are being predicted to go to this year. I will be getting this out to the various websites and email lists very shortly, I just started here to use it as a composing platform.
Royal Hunt
Quick reminder that the SCA Royal Hunt event is happening this weekend in the Shire of Dragonsmark. You can get some details about the event at the website for the it, found at Dragonsmark – Royal Hunt. Details include directions, location, and activities going on at the event. Keep in mind it is a Royal Hunt, meaning the King and Queen of the Midrealm will be present at the event. And for those that may not be as in the know, it is an SCA event. That means you need to make some attempt at having medieval attire.
Midrealm Equestrian Symposium
I made the trip up to the Barony of Rivenstar (around Lafayette, Indiana) over the weekend to participate in what was, to the best of my knowledge the first ever Midrealm Equestrian Symposium.
Immediate Events
A couple of big equestrian happenings in the next few weeks here in the Midrealm and I wanted to make sure everyone got the information about those events that needed them. Also a few other notes down in there somewhere….
