[Artemisia] Kingdom Collegium & Guest Instructors

[Biancaraven at aol.com]

Greetings,
This year's Artemisian Kingdom Collegium promises to be an amazing  
experience I hope everyone will attend.  The date is November 8, 2008 and  it will be 
held in Clearfield, Utah.  The Baronies of Gryphon's Lair and  Loch Salann, 
plus the Shires of Cote du Ciel and Arrow's Flight are combining  forces to 
provide a phenomenal experience to the Kingdom.  The site fee  will be very low and 
will include a potluck lunch.  Ample crash space and  transportation from SLC 
International Airport can be arranged.
The Kingdom has generously offered to provide two Fabulous Masters to  
instruct the populace.  Duke Sir Paul of Bellatrix (Bellatrix Fighting  School) and 
Kass McGann (_www.reconstructinghistory.com)_ 
(http://www.reconstructinghistory.com)/)   will be joining us.
Kass has offered to teach any of the following list of classes.  Due  to time 
limitations, we will restrict the number of classes to 6 (perhaps  7).
