“Come one, come all, to a Masked Ball “he smiles at the
reaction
“Yes, you heard correctly, a Masked Ball and a Tavern within
the Barony of Seagirt. This means you need a mask yes, but we are a
creative society and I am sure we can rise to the challenge of it
for this night of joy and festivities. “
There will be a merchant on site selling masks for a variety of
prices, as well as another possible 2 merchants.
“It will be held Saturday Oct 20th, unofficial start time is
300 pm, ( this might be moved to an earlier time ) and will go to
11 pm. Place will be the Eastern Star hall at 3281 Harriet street.
Price will be 10 dollars to get in the door. “
I believe the Tavern will open at about 5:30 pm. There will be
munchies ( Bread and Nuts ) upon the tables, with the lovely HL
morgaine Essex and Essex Eatery once more supplying food ( for a
cost ) to those wishing to feast there.
“Upstairs in the hall, will be the Mask ball. Downstairs will
be a Tavern, run by the lovely Anna Jane, with game boards,
candlelight (oh la la). If you have game boards, feel free to bring
them along as well. “
"As well as there is a rumour that there might be a silent
auction to support the hall rentals for our dancers, archers, and
fighters. “
" The Rumour is true ! Please, if you have something you would like
to donate, please bring it to council, make arrangments with
Anastasia, or bring it to the ball itself. ALL proceeds will go to
covering the cost of the weekly hall rentals, that keep us in shape
for all the events. "
“The ball will consist of Dance cards, and dances set in
timed blocks. Sets blocks in No particular order at this time. For
those who do not know the dances, please attend dance class on
Tuesday nights and the Lovely Dance Mistress will be teaching them
over the next few months to ensure that you all know them.
" Sharking competition is in effect, though it its not a registered
competition, you get to have a cloak for a year ! "

Note that the above Weather and Map information is generated from the site address and can be easily confused. The weather will say if its for the branch or for the site. It will be for the site if the site can be found, but this again is not always the case, and if the site is some distance from the branch then the weather may be different.
