[SCA-AE] AEthelmearc AEcademy announcement correction

[Tracey Stoever]

Good Gentles - 

Now that Crown Tourney's excitement is over, I wish to turn your 
attention to our fair Kingdom's next wonderful Kingdom level event: 
AEcademy!

To that end I need to inform you that there was a typo in the event 
announcement that is printed in the May issue of AESTEL. The address 
for the reservations' clerk is missing a digit. So I am inserting the 
announcement, in it's entirety and with the correct mailing address 
herewith:

  "Æthelmearc Spring Academy
  June 20-22, Shire of Coppertree (Brookfield, NY)


On June 20-22, Æthelmearc Spring Æcademy will be held at the spacious 
and comfortable Madison County Fairgrounds, Fairgrounds Road (no 
street number), Brookfield, NY 13314, in the Shire of Coppertree. 
This site is approximately 25 miles due south of Utica, NY. 

One and all are invited to enjoy a weekend where you may expand your 
knowledge and hone your skills and no one will walk away hungry! A 
wide variety of classes, from bardic talents, sewing arts, and 
fighting, are in the works. Artisans, bring your messiest crafts, for 
we can accommodate them on our spacious grounds. Didst thou want to 
dye? To cook outdoors? To work on metal, on a forge? To try your 
siege craft? To brew, to run your hounds on scent trails, or even to 
work on equestrian skills? Stables are available for an additional 
fee of $20 for the weekend; you must provide proof of negative 
Coggins test and pre-register. There is an enclosed paddock for 
turning out your horses. These and many other assorted arts will be 
available for you to explore. 

That said, we need teachers to teach! All are welcome to sign up to 
teach a class(es); please go to the Æcademy website to register as a 
teacher for the Æcademy:  
http://www.aecademy.org/registration/index.php. Or you may contact 
the Chancellor of the Æcademy, THL Juliana Delamere, at 
deb at debrahofer.com.

DIRECTIONS: From East and West, take I-90 to Exit 31 (Utica, NY). 
Follow signs to Route 8 south and then follow Route 8 south until you 
cross Route 20. Go approximately another 4 miles and watch for signs 
for a right turn to Brookfield and Fair Grounds. Turn right onto the 
Skaneateles Turnpike and follow it 3-4 miles to Brookfield; watch for 
a right turn onto Fairgrounds Road, which leads you directly to the 
site. 

There is an alternate route directly from Route 20 that is flatter 
and easier for horse trailers. Contact the autocrat if you want these 
alternate directions." 

The June AESTEL will have the corrected announcement. If anyone has 
any questions about the event please contact the Autocrats.
