Greetings Æthelmearc Army,
In your preparations for Blackstone Raids on the weekend of April 24-26, I would like to ask something of you. Every year Baroness Constance and the waterbearing staff make very sure that there is hydration available. The staff of Blackstone Raids provides a budget for water and supplies for the water bearers which goes against the bottom line of running the event.
So here is my challenge to the fighters, fencers, archers and throwers of the kingdom. In your packing, plan to bring something to help the staff.
What is needed?
- Gallon jugs of water
- Jars of Pickles
- Bags of Oranges
- Bags or bins of pretzels
- Watermelon/Grapes
If you arrive Thursday or Friday you can drop them at the main lodge. If you arrive Saturday you can drop them off at the water bearers tent on the battle field.
Help support the whole army and keep them well-nourished and hydrated!!
In Service,
Baron Liam
Deputy Commander
Aethelwald
