We've been asked to put on a demo at the Mission Hills Middle School in Santa Cruz on April 4 (this Wednesday). There are two class periods available (9:45 to 11:15 and 11:18 to 12:40, so please consider coming out even if you can only make part of the demo. I'm not sure if there will be enough room for a fighting demo, but arms & armor that the kids can handle, along with any other arts, crafts, stories, whatever are welcome. Please let me know if you are able to attend so we can give the school a headcount. Hm, maybe I should take a hint from Leah and bake some brownies. Or cookies. I make good cookies.

Message-ID: <00cb01c777cf$0c770210$0e02a8c0@user58c3694d49> I've been taking my big boys to the De Laveaga Archery Range in Santa Cruz, as they are showing lots of interest in archery. The club members there are all really friendly and family oriented. They range wildly in age and economic brackets, and in interest- everything from competition shooters to hunters. They are also very welcoming and inclusive, and in sharing the space we ended up sharing stories about hobbies and such. The De Laveaga Archery Range (off the golf and diskgolf courses) is run by the Santa Cruz Archery Club. They are open to the public on weekend afternoons. If you pay for a membership, you get keys to the gates, and pretty much free access. If you can't afford the membership fees you can sign up for a "working membership" and you do clean up and improvements on the ranges. They need some cleanup, upkeep and construction done on their walking course. Which is pretty cool. They have a small practice range outside, and indoor range. There are a few bbq pits and some picnic tables. (As they used to be a gun range as well, there are several "slots" outside that are all fenced and razorwired off, which I'm sad no one has tought to turn into "field archery" ranges... hmmmm...). I think there is great potential here for the SCA to get access to an archery space, and to build community- much as the Principality "work days" have opened up event space to us, in trade for some work. But I'm too out of the loop to know who to pass this info onto. The club folk also said there is a Mormon Church (Temple?) on Old San Jose Road here in Santa Cruz that has a very large and well groomed property that they will happily lease out for the day, perfect for field archery events, or even perhaps a tourney. Anyone know how to run with this info? I'd be happy to do some more leg work/ dig up contacts, etc. brid -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

( ie when they dont conflict that is with horses, events, other practices!!)LOL I would love to say it would be great to arrange something, yet I wonder if that energy is not better spent at Ed Levine? There is talk on the west archery yahoo group about finding a sponser to help develop a range there. That way we have something centrally located that we can also use for major events. If your interested in donating time contact Duncan as Rose suggested. I just think currently, our energy as a canton/barony could be better spent at Ed Levine. Though please dont stop in supporting the Santa Cruz Archery range, if your not already a member, then I recommend getting your membership. That way you can still support the range and enjoy the people!! Hey they even have workdays!! To Steed!

Join The Tudor Tailor for a lively look inside the clothes presses of ordinary and middle class people in 16th century England. Discover what evidence there is for their clothes, where their garments came from, and how they were made and maintained. This dressing demonstration compares and contrasts everyday wear with Sunday best and explains other clothing conventions of Tudor society. It also discusses some of the challenges of recreating historic dress for 21st century wear. Session II - Tudor Hair, Hats and Headdresses Join authors Ninya Mikhaila and Jane Malcolm-Davies as they share the secrets of constructing convincing Tudor headwear that is comfortable and stays firmly is place! This practical session will include opportunities to handle reconstructed hats and headdresses as well as trying out Tudor hairstyling.

Jane also undertakes interpretation, evaluation and other visitor studies for heritage organizations such as The National Trust and Historic Scotland - www.jmdandco.com. Ninya Mikhaila (author) has been making reproduction historical costumes since 1988. She established her business in 1994 after gaining a Higher National Diploma in Costume Interpretation at the London College of Fashion. She has been the principal maker for JMD&Co since then.

Comments from Amazon.com The Tudor Tailor - reconstructing 16th century dress (Batsford, 2006) * 160 pages; * 80 historical illustrations, many in colour; * Over 100 specially commissioned line drawings; * 36 patterns with full step-by-step instructions and photographs showing finished garments worn by real people. The first four chapters provide a social history of clothes in the 16th century, drawing on the latest research and primary sources such as ordinary people's wills and surviving royal records. There is discussion of the materials used, people's financial and social relationships with their clothes, and the changes in dress from birth to death. There is as much emphasis on the clothes of ordinary people as there is on high fashion. There is also general advice on choosing materials, construction methods, and an insight into the Tudor tailor's sewing kit. Synopsis (from Amazon.com) A valuable source book for costume designers, dressmakers and those involved in historical reenactments, this book contains all the information you need to create authentic clothes from the Tudor period. Computer-generated, historically accurate patterns enable one to make a wide range of garments, such as doublets, hose, bodices, skirts, hats and headdresses - even underwear. There are also plenty of ideas for decoration and embellishment such as ruffs, cuffs, collars, embroidery and other surface decoration. The full range of Tudor society is represented, including lower- and middle-class clothing as well as the more sumptuous costumes from the courts of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. In addition to the patterns, there are detailed drawings of each costume and information about historical context, including original paintings and source material.

You are invited to see "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum" presented by my drama kids at the Ann Sobrato Performing Arts Center. The Set is 16 feet tall. (Rome wasn't built in a day, you know) The kids are doing a great job, better than a "High School" play. After the show I will give you a tour of this phenomenal space. It is a musical comedy with dancing girls, slaves, lovers, soldiers, Romans, soothsayers, pirate references, courtesans, and mare's sweat! Don't miss this opportunity to see to see why Marco has no life! ( Well, one of the reasons.) The next two weekends, (April 26-28, May 3-5) Thursdays at 7:30pm, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm - except the last Saturday (May 5) which is a 2pm matinee. (The matinee is $5 for seniors and kids under 13) Tickets range from $10-$12, $8-$10 with any ASB card. Marco (sleep- what's that?) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
