Subject: Feb 5---Winter Frolic, or, As You Like It

Exerpted from the announcement in December Pikestaff.
						-John de Caversham

The _Barony of Carolingia_ invites you to join us in a fabulous day of
feasting, fighting and fencing in recognition of the joys of our
Current Middle Ages.  We'd enjoy welcoming you between the hours of
10am and 10pm on February 5, 1994 (AS XXVIII), at the Cambridge
National Guard Armory, 450 Concord Ave., Cambridge, MA 02138-1214.

We have a large, heated hall, with sufficient space for fighting and
fencing lists.  There are showers in the men's toilet only.  Bring
games or projects or musical instruments; there is plenty of room for
all.  The hall is surrounded by bleachers, if you'd like us to arrange
formal performance time, we can do so.  The autocrat is providing a
capacious room and an opportunity, tell us what you'd like to do, and
what you need, and we'll make you happy.  Merchants are welcome, let
us know in advance, and bring your own tables or blankets.

There will be a simple feast served for 100, cooked by our talented
Lady Catriona [sic] von Nurnburg [This is actually Mitgaard's own
Caterina Sichling von Nurnberg---the lead time for Pikestaff is longer
than her employment in MD, so I'm not sure if she's still doing the
feast--JdC].  There is virtually unlimited off-board space, and you
may either use empty tables, or spread a blanket and eat picnic style.
Cambridge will _NOT_ allow us alcoholic beverages, sorry.

Prices are $5 for off- and out- board, and $10 on-board, with no
children's prices.  Infants and very young children are free.  Make
all checks payable to "SCA Inc., Barony of Carolingia."  Please make
on-board reservations early, 100 places for Catriona's [sic] cooking
are too few, but the facilities are limited.  Send reservations and
questions to the autocrat:  Lord Tibor of Rock Valley (Mark
Schuldenfrei, 84 Egerton Rd., Arlington, MA 02174-8521.  +1 617
648-5326).  A SASE is always appreciated.  Please use legal names with
each reservation.  Please write early for assistance with motel or
crash space.

Directions follow; they're longer than the above, and I'll skip them
for now.  Watch this space for announcements on cooperative
reservation mail-ins, etc.
