Thought for the upcoming camp
Yvonne Gwyn
Just a thought that popped into my head while thinking about Canterbury Faire.
How would people like to set themselves a challenge – everyone is to come up with something that they can teach to the rest of the group at our camp at the end of March. It needn’t be scary and complicated, but it must be medieval(ish). Anything from a shoe workshop, to how to braid or how to bake bread or make a medieval pie.
· How to play a game? How to read/speak old/middle English? How to understand heraldic language? How to embroider a tunic? Make a cloak pin? Make a wooden practice sword? How to make a pilgrims satchel? How to make a man/woman’s headscarf? How to make an authentic archery target?
It could be anything. J This would add something fun to the camp and encourage everyone to learn something new.
I thought it might be good for people to have a couple of months to come up with something.
How do people feel about trying this?

I’m just getting a handle on clearing down the nelson mediaeval email list and have received the following I’ll need help replying to:
01 - Your Name = Maureen
02 - Your Email Address = gnm.e...@xtra.co.nz
03 - Your question or comments = Could you please give me the contact phone number of the person selling the home-made soap at the Medieval Fair up the Maitai Valley last year ? Oct 2010. It was great soap.
***** If anyone has this information, please let me know
We’ve also had enquiry regarding membership, so I’ll handle that one.
Cheers,

I had answered this lady a little while ago. Can't remember I'd got hold of the email
