Sword Forging - August 23

Come on over to Jack and Kaelyn's house on August 23 to forge your very own Epic Sword. 

Okay, maybe it won't be quite as epic as this sword, but we all have to start somewhere.

We will be shutting down practice at 5 pm on August 23 to work on constructing new weapons. For a list of required materials, please contact Jack Angelfoot. All members of Akron are welcome, but we would like to have some idea who is coming so we can be sure to have enough working space.

Project 144 for Ragnarok XXX

Project 144 for Ragnarok XXX is starting up right now!

The goal of Project 144 is to keep us moving on things that we need to get done for Dagorhir practices and events. We want to encourage members to work on their projects consistently, working on or completing one project a month over the next twelve months. You define what a project is - it can be anything from a single blue sword, shirt, or arrow to a new armor set, garb kit, or weapon set.

Finished projects or updates can be posted on akronproject144.blogspot.com! Check with Kaelyn for details.

Ragnarok or Bust

Just a few quick reminders for everyone attending Rag:

If you are preregged for Saturday, please make sure you arrive well before Troll closes at 5 pm. Bring your pre-reg receipt and photo ID.

We will have two trailers travelling with us, Cynar will have one and Riylan the other. Contact them if you need to get something on the trailer. Please throw a few bucks their way to help cover the cost of gas for towing those trailers. (We estimate it costs them an extra tank of gas round trip).

As in previous years, we split the cost of firewood between all Akron attendees. This usually costs between $8 and $15 per person for the week.

Troll, Weapons Check, Medics, and Security, are all looking for volunteers for the week to cover a variety of shifts. You can earn points towards Ranger Badges for volunteering. (Details on that to follow via Ranger Handbook). Please consider volunteering for a shift or two, as it is volunteers that make Ragnarok possible.

Jack also needs people to help recruit for Banner Wars on Sunday.

We are planning on having a quick camp meeting on Saturday immediately upon arrival. Please stick around camp until the meeting is over, we will need to go over a few quick items with everyone before Ragnarok officially starts.

Practice will be cancelled for Dearborn on Tuesday, July 1. Practices will be held as usual in Ferndale on Thursday, July 3, and Royal Oak on  Saturday, July 5.
