[SCA-AE] FFF IV Spinning Class/Panel

[Ruth Morrisson]

Greetings from Myfanwy!
Apologies in advance for any duplicate postings.
FFF IV is coming up next month in the Shire of NIthgaard (Kingdom of 
Æthelmearc).  A number of spinners, myself included, bring spinning 
wheels to it.  To that end, I have conceived the idea of having at 
least some of us do a sort of panel discussion (for lack of a better 
term).  My idea is to have each wheel spinner get up and talk for a few 
minutes about the pros (and cons!) of his/her equipment, to help any 
potential spinning wheel buyers get an idea of what's out there and 
what sort of things to consider (price, ease of use such as changing 
bobbins, double-drive vs. Scotch tension, and so on), and to maybe 
answer any audience questions.
In consultation with Mistress Phiala, this will probably happen Sunday 
morning (possibly Saturday night, if there is an overwhelming 
preference from panel members), so as not to conflict with any of the 
regular classes.
If you are at all interested in participating as a panelist, please 
contact me so I can get a rough idea of time (one hour or two), with 
what wheel(s) you're bringing).
Please forward this to any other SCA lists that may be applicable (such 
as out-kingdom lists or other SCA-fiber related lists) besides the ones 
listed in the CC section.
Thanks in advance.
