Upcoming Events

They say today is Blue Monday, the saddest day of the year. The theory goes that the holiday celebrations are over, the next holiday is months away, it’s dark, it’s cold, and there’s certainly enough snow here in the Althing.  In reality, this designation was made up as a marketing strategy to get people to book sunshine get aways, arguing that it’s good to have something to look forward to.  We can at least agree that it’s nice to look forward to something, so here are a few of the events coming up in the barony and out side it.

We often say that Winter is a time to hunker down and get to the A&S. Our next in Barony event can help you do just that.  Practicum is a day of classes on February 24^th, in Caldrithig. If you have a special interest that you’d like to share, there is still time to register to offer a class. Go to the Practicum website to fill out the form to let the team know about your class.

Once Spring graces our lands, the Canton of Greyfells has a chill virtual A&S event, MAYhem, on May 4^th. This Historically Adequate A&S Event which will feature 13 different non-traditional categories, where imagination, creativity, and fun are as important as technique and construction. This event is free and open to anyone, of any skill level, and is more about having fun and talking about shared passions rather than perfectly polished projects. In fact, incomplete and failed projects are also eligible for entry!  For more information, or to sign up as a participant or judge, please contact either Maister Colyne (Todd H. C. Fischer) or Baron Joffr (Jeff Hitchcock).

If you want even more and these two events are too far away, you could attend Blue Dragon Studium in Ard Creag this weekend.  And don’t forget that Kingdom A&S Competition is March 23 in Rising Waters.

If you’d rather stay cozy in your home, you can attend the virtual DEI Collegium this weekend. But if you’re down for a drive and enjoyed Feast at Lombardy, you should check out Masque by Moonlight on the 27^th in Der Welfengau.

The first combat tournament of the year is Tournoi du Coeur du Glace on February 3^rd in Bastille du Lac, followed by Winter War in Trinovantia Nova on March 2^nd.

Winter has a little something for everyone in our community.  Make plans, make things, make friends.
