Please consider joining us at the Southern Regional Festival to be held in Huntsville, Texas, March 31-April 2. On Saturday, there will be the first (to our knowledge) Voice Heralds Triathlon. The event will consist of three courses: Distance, Speed, and Accuracy. Book heralds are asked to serve as judges. For all heralds, I will be sponsoring a lunch sideboard with heraldic games. *PLEASE, pretty please, come by.* I need to field test the games (not the food) for KWHS. Triathlon Details: Distance: We will have a fighter-calling competition for this portion. A course will be measured out, and competitors will have to try and get the attention of a fully armored fighter at various distances. Speed: A course will be laid out at the event site. Each competitor will have at least one opportunity during the day to make an announcement around the course. Points will be given for speed, style, and clarity. *This may include wake-up. If you want to be complete this portion during wake-up, please let me know.* Accuracy: The deliciously devious Master Daniel de Lincolia is preparing a court that will test your ability to perform accurately under the trying conditions of court. Style points will also be awarded.

Kiri From: Stephen Macthomas [macthomas at ev1.net] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 5:20 PM To: ansteorra at ansteorra.org Subject: [Ansteorra] Wake Up Herald! I once woke up a camp with something akin to: "Oyez, oyez! The time is now seven of the watch, the day dawns bright and cheerful. One hour until armor inspection. Two hours until morning court. Three hours until Merchants Row opens, where you can acquire your very own life-size likeness of the wake-up herald. This missive brought to you by the Interkingdom Archery Competition. That is all." No one threw or shot anything at me at all. I was, however, offered coffee three times and breakfast once. And got a lot of laughs. (OT note: there's a reason the morning shows on the radio are generally funnier than the shows throughout the day. Same principle works for the SCA too.) Stephen Edited by Mark S.
