SHIRE PENNSIC PITY PARTY (2013) My proposition to you the members of Glenn Linn that would like to participate in a "pity party" of sorts is this: Location: Haviland Cove Park Bush Street Glens Falls, NY 12801 Time: Gates open at 11am and close at 7pm so somewhere in there. if someone can be there at gate opening to get a couple of picnic tables in the shade and we bring our own ez-ups or a day shade of some kind it would be great like before Date: Sunday August 4th (a lot of us have plans on the 3rd and Saturdays are usually booked and packed with lots of people so Sunday should be better. Not to mention we could do an outdoor A&S at that time) Food: I say Pot luck, bring a dish to pass. Please list what you can bring below so we all can see that way there isn't a lot of one thing. (Some one should bring charcoal for the grill if we want burgers, chicken or hotdogs. And anyone could volunteer to bring any of those items as well.) Fighters want to armor up? feel free. You want to Swim? there is the river. Hand crafty arts and Sciences can be done (I don't believe there is power so it's got to be by hand) Bardic talents encouraged, share a story, sing a song, play an instrument, juggling, whatever your passion is... aside from spitting fire or lit poi dancing... I am sure there will be something for everyone and I think we may draw some attention and get people asking about stuff ;) These were my foods for your thoughts so lets discuss this and go from there. Watching the weather, we may need a rain date or indoor location if possible, Any Suggestions? YIS Lord Gage Ormesby Seneschal of the Shire of Glenn Linn

Not for beginners due to shooting at night, and no shooting of Royal Round. Prizes, if any, have yet to be determined. Recognition of winners will be announced at the archery field at the conclusion of the shoot. Saturday, July 2nd 9AM - 11AM: Royal Round shooting, novelty shooting, novice lessons and shooting, general practice. 11AM - 1PM: The day tournament: which will consist of a clout shoot against a castle; then a graduated attack of various distances and targets in approach to the castle; then a close-up shoot against "guards" at the castle drawbridge, window slits, and crenalations; then, after the drawbridge is breached, a shoot through the "doorway" at the (hopefully Mid-Realm color green) dragon in the center of the castle. Prizes, if any, have yet to be determined. Recognition of winners will be announced at the archery field at the conclusion of the shoot. 1:30PM - 3PM: "The Golden Fletch" competition to determine the best individual archer at NRWC -- a single elimination sniper-shoot at a traditional 14th century medieval target from increasingly longer distances. The target will be a single-color round disc of 12-inches diameter on a 4-ft. diameter target butt. Qualifications for entry will be by invitation of the NRWC archery marshalls, and will be based on standings from the night shoot and the daylight tournament.
