Greetings Galatia,

I apologize for not making it to Celtic Fire last weekend. Mundane life and kids repeateldy get in the way of fighting. I had hoped to stop in Saturday evening to tell a story of your deeds at the last war practice - another time.

I wanted to give you an idea of the events I'm "encouraging" Strovik fighters to attend for Melee. I would be honored if Galatia chose to attenda and stand at our side. The events are as follows:

War Practice: same place May 21
June 3: more info later
June 10: Highland River Melee
July 9: Storvik Novice and Unbelt Tourney (melle planned at the end of the day)
August 4-20: uh Pennsic
Sept 22: Glengary
Oct 9: Crusades

I understand you are a mercinary force and will go to the highest bidder. We offer you the opportunity to Win! We do an incredible job of driving our enemies before us. At the last war practice Storvik/Galatia lost only 1 field battle out of 12!

Yours in Service
Finn

Thanks Finn,
We will try hard to be there. We like having you all by our side, and minus the Big P, there is a good chance of that. We will be missing most if not all of Highland River Melees due to Dan's wedding.

East Kingdom War Camp **UPDATED** [RP]

(At-a-Glance Event Information)

Friday, July 21st, 2006 to Sunday, July 23rd, 2006

Hosted by Shire of Eisental - Lehighton, PA

Event Last Modified: April 25th, 2006

War is nearly upon us! To help all make ready, The Shire of Eisental would host East Kingdom War Camp on July 21-23, 2006 at the Ukrainian Homestead, Beaver Street, Lehighton, PA 18235. We have reorganized the site this year to enable us to expand our Martial activities.

To hone our defenses the fighting will take the form of battle scenarios to see that we are all prepared for the battles ahead, this year we are pleased to announce that we are able to accommodate Combat Archery during the fighting. We will also be set up to practice the various archery shoots for Pennsic including a clout shoot. An area will be set aside for fencers who wish to make ready for their Pennsic War Points. Youth Combat practice and authorizations will be held in the afternoon. All this and merchants too!

The Site will open at 4pm on Friday and closes at 2pm on Sunday. In addition to all the martial activities, there will be scheduled children's activities, swimming, (please note, swimming is at your own risk, there is NO LIFEGUARD – all minors MUST be accompanied by an adult while in the pool area), and did we mention the merchants?

Food: A simple day board will be offered on Saturday afternoon from noon to 3pm. Just prior to Court we will open a “Court Board” of light fare at the back of the Court area. NO feast will be offered. There are restaurants within a 5 to 10 minute drive from the site. As for Sunday morning, we will be offering a fund raising breakfast for all. Donations to go to the EK, we just haven't decided for what yet.

The site offers no handicap access, is wet (well, there is a tended bar on site open from noon to 2:00am), grills are allowed, but no ground fires. Camping is encouraged, however, for those that prefer there is a hotel on the site available for an extra per night charge, and must be reserved in advance, there is also a newly renovated building on site with modest rooms and a communal bathroom for additional charge, please contact Lady Ellesbeth Donofrey for availability and fees.

Small problem here, though. Remember the Stierbach Baronial Birthday we were asked to come back to? Well it's the same weekend. Jeff you think we could send them an email and try to convince Stierbach to hold their melees on Sunday?
