That reminds me, at a practice upcoming we need to discuss and start working on the demo for BCHA's fun show. Also, did Caer Galen's equestrian group want to ask for the insurance for the demo? Or should Unser Hafen request the insurance? We also need to check with BCHA and see if they need an additional insured on the insurance. The demo is the first weekend in October, if I remember correctly.

This fall, BCHA has invited the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) to
conduct an equestrian demonstration at our Fun Show. The SCA is a
not-for-profit educational organization devoted to the study of the arts and
skills of pre-seventeenth century Western Culture. Their Equestrian Guild
is devoted to recreating many of the exercises and games used to hone
medieval mounted warriors' skills.
You can get a sneak preview of this amazing -- nay, downright incredible --
event for an entire day, or an afternoon, this summer. Unser Hafen, a
local SCA Barony, is holding their Equestrian Guild Championships at Sun
Pony Ranch in Berthoud on Sunday August 3rd. The event is open to the
public for a $6 fee for non-member adults and free to BCHA and SCA members
(please bring your membership card).
Events will include:
Tilting at the Rings with lances
Spear throwing & spear sticking
"Heads" - hitting obstacles with wooden swords
Quintain (practice jousting)
The equestrian competition will be held from 1:00 - 3:00 pm. The Archery
Championship will be held in the morning, from 10:00 am to noon. Bring your
blankets or folding chairs, hats and sun screen and sit on the hillside to
watch the action!
When: Sunday, August 3, 2008. 1-3 pm Equestrians; 10-Noon Archery
Cost: Free to BCHA Members. $6 to Non-BCHA or SCA member adults. 17 and
under free.
