[Wyewood] A&S activities at Wyewood Champions tourney

[via Wyewood]

Hi Margaret - 
Hopefully we're having our champions tournaments on august 8th at the wyewood archery range. I say hopefully because I'm submitting the event proposal at the business meeting on Friday and I hope it is approved! 
Champion is our annual day of championship tournaments to choose our champions for the coming year. We'll have archery (of course!), rapier, heavy, and this year for the first time thrown weapons! 
And then an amazing feast for all the members of Wyewood to feast together and celebrate our new champions and thank our outgoing champions. 
best, 
vashti

I'm feeling a little lost... Champions Event??!! At first read of your email, my initial question was WHEN is this happening! But, as I often miss email amongst the much junk mail; I searched and couldn't find any reference...and searching the Barony web page produced nothing. So... now I'll ask my first question officially... 
When and where is the Champions Event...(also 'what' as I'm relatively new to playing)!!? 
Thank you!!

Greetings from Rauthulfr, Wyewood A&S Champion. 



I thought it would be fun to try something new for the barony this summer. 



At Wyewood's upcoming Champions event, we shall be hosting the baronies 
first Fred! What's a Fred? That is indeed a fair question. To say that it's 
a non-competitive A&S venue is a beginning, but a more complete answer 
requires some digression; particularly so, given that Wyewood has never held 
a Fred within our borders. 



Those gentles who have played for a while will remember the Laurel's Prize 
Tourney. They'll also probably remember that it wasn't for Laurels; that 
didn't really involve prizes; and that it wasn't actually a tourney. So as 
to correct these misconceptions, the An Tir Laurel Council adopted a change 
of name: Thenceforth, they were to be known as Freds. After all, if fighting 
can happen on Erics.... 



A Fred is venue for artisans to gather so as to display, present, and share 
their projects. Projects can be at any stage of creation or completion. 
Because there is no competition, a Fred is a great place to share insights 
or seek for help with difficulties. The environment is one of constructive 
comments, and of sharing a mutual enthusiasm the Arts & Sciences. 



Documentation is welcome, although it is not required. It is also important 
to bear in mind, that unlike most A&S gatherings, authenticity and 
"periodness" are secondary to creation and creativity. This being so, there 
is no age restriction, and even the youngest artisans may bring projects. 



Gentles wishing to present a project are encouraged to R.S.V.P. so that 
we'll have an idea of how much room will be needed.
