[SCA-BMDL] Asking for Troll Help (was: The Siege of Harlech Castle)

[Dani Zweig]

Would gentles who would be willing to help with troll for the
April-5th event please contact me?  This event has a donations-only
site fee, but it has a sideboard and fighting, so troll is still
needed.

> The Siege of Harlech Castle
> April 5, 2008

> All fighters and combat archers of these Sylvan Lands are called to the
> Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands to besiege or defend the Castle!  The
> year is 1404, and a brave English garrison defends Harlech castle from the
> assault of Welsh forces led by Owen Glendower.  Owen's victory allowed him
> to occupy Harlech as his base for the next 5 years, after which the English
> re-conquered this Edwardian stronghold.  On April 5, 2008, the English shall
> once again defend Harlech against the Welsh attackers, and we shall see who
> triumphs this day.
>
> For fighters, a two-man spear tournament shall be held on the drawbridge, as
> well as a traditional heavy weapons tournament and a competition to see who
> can achieve the drawbridge alive through a hail of arrows.  Combat archers
> will be shooting down from the castle walls upon the fighters below, and
> there will also be a formal combat archery competition.  Archers will be
> positioned along the ramparts, towers, and windows of the castle.  Space
> will be provided for the populace to watch the martial activities from the
> parapets.  Safe within the castle walls, there will be a sewing circle,
> children's activities, and heraldic consultation table with internet access.
>
> The site opens, and armour/weapon inspections begin, at 10 AM.  Fighting
> shall begin at noon.  The site closes at 8 PM.  This site is a private
> residence, and parking is limited.  Portions of the castle (including the
> great hall, but not the parapets) are handicap-accessible.  The site is wet.
> Please contact the autocrats with any questions about site restrictions.
> Photos of the castle may be seen on the autocrats' website:

>
> A delicious 14th-century all-day sideboard will be available for $8 ($4 for
> children 6-12, free for 5 and under).  Dietary questions may be addressed to
> the head cook, THL Brandubh o Donnghaile (donnghaile [at] gmail.com).  There
> is no site fee, and there is no feast.  Since this is a free event, the
> non-member surcharge does not apply, though donations are welcome.  Please
> send sideboard reservations to Master Dani of the Seven Wells at 1767
> Beechwood Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA 15217.  Checks should be made payable to
> "BMDL, SCA, Inc."
