As the Baronial Bardic Champion of Montengarde, I would like to invite you to the first in-person “No Holds Barred (within reason)” Bardic Circle to be held this coming Friday, July 12, 2024, starting at 7 pm and going until a reasonable “dark o’clock” at my companion’s home in Bearspaw**.
I understand that this will be on the same evening as Archery practice, but my hope is that people interested in both activities could come to the Bardic Circle after the Archery practice.
I am calling this “No Holds Barred” because I would like the Bardic Circle to be able to flow and build on topics, ideas, and subjects to create something that ebbs and flows with the participants.
There will be no set order of participants, so that participants can “play off of each other” and create spontaneity.
All Bardic Acts will be welcomed and encouraged. You can share instrumental music, songs, stories, dance, pantomime, etc. from historical sources or from events from our Current Middle Ages.
NOTE: I have been told that our Kingdom of Avacal has suffered the loss of one of its youths, so if you are unable to attend the Celebration of Life occurring the same day in the Barony of Myrgan Wood, this Bardic Circle will also be a safe place to share your memories & stories of this person, if you wish.
Date: Friday, July 12, 2024
Time: 7:00 pm – dark o’clock
Address: 14 Bearspaw Hills Road, in Bearspaw ** we can offer to shuttle about 6 or 8 people to & from the Crowfoot C-train station**
Highlights & plans:
– the property has a firepit with seating
– there is a washroom in my companion’s basement
– numerous types of insect repellent will be available if you forget your own
– numerous mosquito repelling torches & items will be around the firepit
– lots of parking is available
– it will be BYOE (i.e. BYO everything i.e. specialty chairs, food, drink, blankets, bug spray etc)
I hope to see folks this coming Friday evening!
