The Ildhafn Arts and Science Collegium event is scheduled for 18-20 September at Camp Sladdin, Clevedon.
This event will take the form of a non-garbed event with classes running sequentially in one of the halls, while the other hall is available for doing personal projects or completing what you started in the sessions. There is no obligation to attend any of the classes and you can just work on your own projects in a social environment (plus if you are struggling my experiences to date indicates that there is likely someone with some experience who would be more than willing to give a hand or offer advice). Classes will be subject to separate koha to the instructor to cover their materials (as determined by them). Fully catered options available (will be simpler meals to keep cost down and prevent people having to spend too long in kitchen), but can self cater if preferred (breakdown on booking form but staying for two nights with meals is $85 for adult SCA members)

Apologies to Baron Inigo and Mistress Christine as I was unable to avoid the slight overlap between their two classes.
In addition to the class the second hall will be available at all times for progressing personal crafts, with the exception of meal times and the brainstorming of baronial ideas session where it is requested all attend to provide input.
There is also the potential for a practical cooking session on offer on a one on one basis, from planning to service. This will involve some engagement and planning prior to the event so if interested in exploring this option please reach out and I will put you in touch (depending on food selected it might work to supplement one of the meals).
For the evening it is intend to make one hall available for anyone wishing to do singing/dancing and the other for boardgames etc. There will also be a group discussion/brainstorming session to gather ideas about barony wide projects that people might be considering to allow for alignment and efficiency (if we have four people all separately planning to make new tents for example).
Bookings are available now here, and if you are willing to deliver a class, either contact the steward/A&S officer directly at artsandsciences@ildhafn.lochac.sca.org or please mention when you book.
Yours aye
Gruffydd
