helwenNS/BB is February 24, 2007. I've begun sending out correspondence to possible teachers and musicians, only from recent years first, but posting to LJ has had the happy side effect of sending me a couple of prospects already. I've had one confirmation from my formal correspondence, a maybe, and a regret. This year I have a shadow for class scheduling, Kathleen. She's a great lady, who currently serves as Bergental's MoL.
I included in my post to the teachers a wish for a mid/late 14th century England track, in support of the Crossroads at Canterbury event. Happily one teacher, Pagan G, was inspired to do research for a clothing class. She's really been digging deep for this event, looking at recipes, and resurrecting the cooks guild so we can get together to try some things out. I have absolutely no clothing for that century, so I'll have to see what she finds. I know attendees don't have to look the part to attend Crossroads, but sincefitzw and I will be working there, I think it would be nice to help contribute to the period ambiance. I'm especially interested in seeing what P finds for headdresses, as I don't like to cover up my ears if I can avoid it. Even one layer of fabric causes problems for me... Ooo, and as both a merchant and a baroness, I probably should make _two_ outfits, one for the day and one for feast!
We have quite a few volunteers to teach from our last business meeting as well, so I think it's almost time to send out the Call for Teachers post to the Bergental list. I'll do that Sunday, since I was planning on giving the first folks I emailed a week's headstart on thinking about classes and schedules, and that way I can send the post to the other lists at the same time.
It's wonderful have proactive event stewards -- I'm looking forward to being able to teach again this year. We're having meetings, phone calls, etc., to plan out each thing. That way the only last minute thing will be the one we can't avoid, which is changes to the class schedule (weather, illness).
