[Moo] invite your friends to Defending the Gate

[Barbara Miller]

________________________________

Greetings all,
Defending the Gate is a good chance to introduce your friends to the SCA. 
When they enter the site, they will sign in and pay the site fees at the "Toll 
Gate", and then park their cars. They can get directions to the Chatelaine Tent 
from the good folks at the Toll Gate. At the Chatelaine Tent, I will look 
forward to meeting them, getting them attired in Medieval style clothing, and 
answering any questions they may have. At 11:30, I will lead a tour for all the 
new folks (and other interested people) in a tour of the site, and introduce 
them to what we are doing, and if I can, introduce them to other folks who are 
doing things they are interested in. The tour winds up with lunch. There will be 
Rapier and Heavy Combat to watch. The folks doing Archery and  Atlatl often have 
some loaner equipment so they can try out those activities. There will be Arts 
and Sciences items to view, and artisans to talk to. There will be Children's 
Activites in the afternoon. And it should be a wonderful day!
Thanks!
