UPDATED: Due to inclement weather, this event has been postponed. Additional details to follow.
From the event coordinator, Runfridr:
This is a reminder that on Saturday, January15, 2010 we will gather together for joy and learning at the Privateer Yacht Club in Hixson, TN. We will begin at 10 AM and continue as late as we will.
THE SITE
It is heated entirely by wood-burning. Please, plan to dress warmly (Temperatures are likely to hover in the mid thirties). It will be a very Medieval experience. The Chapins have agreed to come early and start the fire. The site is on the small side, but really beautiful. Please, bring any banners and other heraldic decor that will help us to create ambiance. The site is wet but please avoid original containers. Keeping in mind, of course that non-SCA yacht club members may be present from time to time.
