[Darkwood-SCA] Crosston Dance Ball, this Saturday

[John Rossignol]

Hi, everyone.  Just a reminder:

The Crosston Dance Ball will be held this Saturday, January 28, 2010.

The Shire of Crosston invites you to join us in celebrating the 
courtship and wedding of Robin Hood and Clorinda, Queen of the 
Shepardesses, in masqueing and dance at the Crosston Dance Ball, held 
amid the merry greene fields of England. 

The Duchess' Ball at 12th Night was the warmup -- this is the real 
thing!  ;)  More details are available at
