Please contact THL Elizabethe Alles (lady.elizabethe@gmail.com). Day Camps There will be some limited day-camp space available on both days (particularly if there is good weather - lots of outdoor space!). If you would like, we encourage you to bring a nice day-camp with period furniture, banners, etc. Please hide as much modern material as possible. Food and drink are allowed at day camps in the gym if you put a rug underneath the area where the food/drink is stored, served, and consumed -- otherwise, please take your food and drink to the cafeteria.

A&S Classes & Meetings (on Saturday in the Band room): 10:00 am - Bidding the Bedes: Introduction to Paternosters (THL Elizabethe Alles) In the 13th-16th centuries in western Europe, prayer beads were a ubiquitous accessory. This class discusses the history and development of the paternoster, as well as information on making your own replica. Kits will be available to make a glass or bone paternoster. Kits for 15 students, $5 each. Auditors welcome. 11:00 am - Cartridge Pleating 101 (Lady Bianca Cantacouzene) There are many ways to make cartridge pleats and in this class you will learn one way.

Class size is limited to 8 participants. 12:00 pm - Calf-to-Codex (Master Johannes von Narrenstein) "Calf-to-Codex" is a project to create a medieval book from the ground up. This project is like the one that made the Great Booke more than twenty years ago. The theme is the Midrealm. The goal is to complete the project by the SCA 50th Anniversary, which the Midrealm is hosting. All sorts of help is needed – from growing flax and making thread, to bookbinding, to parchment making and preparing ink and paints. In this session I am recruiting scribes and illuminators, and will be explaining their tasks. I will have two sets of signatures (parchment and paper) ready to assign. 1:00 pm - Exchequer Meeting (Lord AElfric Greensword) 2:00 pm - Crown Tournament in the MidRealm (Mistress Claire Fitzwilliam of Lynnwood Keep) Learn how Crown Tournament is run so you can better understand tomorrow's tournament.
