History Museum of Calontir

Unto the Kingdom of Calontir does Baroness Slaine send greetings.

At Crown Tourney on April 13th in the Barony of Three Rivers there will be a museum dedicated to the history of Calontir. Please bring historical artifacts, curiosities, and wonders which tell the story of Calontir - freon can helmets, early AoA scrolls, event flyers from well-loved past events, etc.

Take a minute to write out what you know of the history of the item. (Ahead of time is great or I’ll have note cards and pens available the day of.) Items that are larger such as furniture or banners please let know so that I can arrange the proper space.

We learn so much about medieval history by way of material culture. What does the material culture of Calontir say about us? What have we learned?

"Then and Now" Arts & Sciences Competition

As we celebrate the 35 anniversary of our Kingdom, this competition is to recognize how we as a kingdom and as individuals have grown.

We are looking for two items per person, an early example of your craft and a more recent example. For each item, please provide at least a 3x5 card of documentation. Additionally, please provide at least a 3x5 card explaining how you've improved in your research, skills, material, tools, periodness, and/or technique between these two items.

Entrants will be separated in judging by award level (Novice/AOA, GOA, Laurel) so don't worry about how long you've been doing your craft! There will be prizes.

Please enter! Share your growth, improve the kingdom, show the newer members we all started somewhere! (If I can find it, I have my first tunic....seersucker acetate table cloth--Hand sewn!)

If you have any questions, please contact myself or HL Rochwen.

Yours in Service, Lady Amba allrasystir

Feast

The feast for Calontir Spring Crown, in honor of Calontir’s 35th birthday, is an early Anglo-Saxon one fit for those of us who remember the days when we were known as the wearers of dirty brown wool.

The dishes that do not say they are meat or dairy don’t contain any, and all veg-based dishes will be available without meat or dairy for those who wish – this unabashed carnivore believes in being vegan-friendly. Please let troll know when you register if you are meatless for the feast, and you’ll get a little bundle of herbs to set at your table to let the servers know.

Yours, Elspeth Modlen ferch Daffydd
