Heavy (armored) combat and rapier practices are still on Tuesday evening at the VFW Hall… for now. Thrown weapons and archery have moved to Sundays.

We would sincerely love to host more Arts and Sciences activities in the upcoming months. They do NOT have to be simply ‘classes’. They can be lectures, demonstrations, roundtables, interactive discussions, etc.. The possibilities are endless. You can reach our A&S Minister, [dl_officers office=”ArtNSci”], in our Facebook group, on Discord, or at DragonsLaire.ArtNSci@AnTir.org
The Baronial Chatelaine, Aoife Aileanach is looking for people from Dragon’s Laire to give short lectures and vignettes on various subjects of the SCA. “I’m basically looking for an extension of what we have on display at June Faire (costume making, cooking info, weaving, spinning, metal work, archery equipment, etc).” These could be 15-min talks, just enough to give new members an introduction. If you are available and willing to give a short presentation, please contact DragonsLaire.Chatelaine@AnTir.org .
