Landsknecht Guild

Most of you already know about this one, but for those who don’t, we’ve been asked by Higgins to come out on November 19th to take part in a military through the ages display. Here are some more details right from Higgins:

First off, all groups will be on the 3rd floor Gallery (hopefully it will be cooler for all!). Each will have one table. The table will either be 8 or 6 ft, let us know which would be preferred. You will need to provide a table covering (it can be a blanket). The table will be situated in the middle of the floor to allow for traffic control. This will include the “knuckle” which means no Great Hall demos. This also means you can’t bring everything you own!!! Your table space and yourselves are your display. Two chairs will be given to each group these will be posted at the heads of the tables, visitors will be approaching from both sides of table. Try not to spend too much time sitting, unless you are doing something that requires sitting.
 
Second, to keep things comfy I would like to see no more than 5 participants per group, preferably armed/armored. (no hangers on, people not in costume, etc.)
 
Third, each group with the exception of the Vikings (as they have no display) , will have a 30 min time slot in the auditorium. 15 minutes to talk about yourselves and the time period you represent and 15 minutes for Q&A. This is the chance to have your own audience and “sell” yourselves, if you have brochures bring them! At least 1 of your members needs to stay with your 3rd floor table, although we may be able to provide a staff person to cover if you need.
 
Fourth, for all groups a reminder that, if you hand a visitor a weapon you must maintain at least one hand on the weapon to keep control of it for safety purposes. This rule applies to all sharp instruments as well, utility knives, surgical tools etc., that may be on display.

Also, to note we are as we have every year providing lunch which will be in the classroom. There is a “Greenroom” for groups that will be in the 2nd floor classroom. There will be two rows of tables, one for re-enactor equipment the other for lunch space.

I already know, I am far from going to this lol, accent is rough, and need to work on my dress, but I am definatly intrested and would love to attend either way most likley as a patron. So just giving you a heads up if I am a last resort lol.

Thanks, Sarah

I would say there are more deserving Campfrauen and I'm neutral on going as part of the Fahnlein. I might show up to patron though. Hope everyone who goes has fun.

Stephen,

Tibor and I would love to be there, but it is supposed to be the day of our daughter's birthday party.  What are the times that we would be needed?
