Greetings all,
The Canton of Elvegast
is hosting the 33rd Annual
Tourney of Ymir on the weekend of 8-10 February, 2008 at
Betsy-Jeff Penn
4H Center in Reidsville, NC.
Most of the event activities occur on Saturday. Friday is usually for
setting up, and Sunday is mainly given over to cleaning up and loading out.
(Help is always appreciated – this is one of the best ways to make new
friends and get to know people better.) |
We ask/beg that you read the
following section very carefully and plan as far in advance as
possible if you or your guests will be needing loaner gear.....
Loaner Garb & Feastgear
Unlike Renaissance faires, SCA events are not performances or
displays to entertain the general public. Events are where we hope
to immerse ourselves in the period. Everyone attending an SCA event
is expected to dress the part.
If you're needing loaner
garb or
feastgear
(tableware/eating utensils) for the Tourney of Ymir, or if you're bringing
someone who will need loaner gear, we ask that you contact your local
Chatelaine (person in charge of assisting
newcomers) at least a week or two in advance. While there will
be a limited supply of loaner garb available at the event, you’re more
likely to find an outfit that fits comfortably and looks good on you
if you make arrangements in advance.
Remember that the chatelaines may have other Ymir preparations to make as
well, and being asked to find garb and feastgear for 10 people a few days
before the event when you have projects to finish can be stressful. In any
case, they'll be happy to help as best they can.
It's helpful if you let them know if the person needing the garb is male or
female, their height and weight, their approximate hip, waist and chest
measurement (dress size if it's a lady), and their general colour
preferences. You can even ask the chatelaine about making arrangements to
visit them in advance to try things on. If schedules permit, this is the
best way to make sure that the person ends up with an outfit that suits
them. |
Important note about Children/Minors at SCA Events:
Minors attending an SCA event must present either a signed
Minor Waiver, or a signed
blue SCA membership card, before admission to the event. (Waiver forms will
be available at the gate.)
Minors under the age of 18 are not permitted to enter (or remain on)
an event site without an adult who is designated as being responsible for
them. If the adult in question is not the minor's parent or guardian, that
adult must present a
Minor Medical Authorization Form, signed by the parent or legal guardian
at registration at the event. This medical authorization form
must be notarized. (We must have the form even if you
are a blood relative such as a grandparent).
Click here for more information about this form. Don't make us turn away your minor event attendee at the gate!
