offering a book viewing at Canterbury faire

[abendgules]

I have the happy opportunity to attend this year's Canterbury Faire for the first time.

On this trip, I'm planning to bring my facsimile of the Luttrell Psalter.

I'm somewhat late contacting the A&S organizers at CF, but I'm hoping to offer an informal class about the psalter at the faire: an opportunity for scribes and other interested readers to look through it, ask questions, discuss and generally ooooh and aaaah.

It would be especially of interest to scribes and illuminators, heraldic artists, 14th c. costumers, and general 14th c English mavins.

All that's required is a (dry, sheltered) space with table and chairs.

When/where is Canterbury Fair? It sounds tempting, just to get a chance to see your book!

Um, it's in Lochac, first week of February. :-)

It's held near the (mundane) town of Canterbury New Zealand, where (you guessed it) my lord Robert joined the Society.

We're going on a trip to NZ to See the Family (tm) at the end of the month.

Not to worry - there will be other opportunities to see it w/in Drachenwald!

Erm, sorry to be irritating. Canterbury is the province. It's near the city of Christchurch (and, to be particular, it is located in an area called Waipara Springs which is a well established vineyard area, therefore close to a number of beautiful wineries you may wish to visit while you are there if you like that kind of thing.... And not far from Hamner springs where you can soak away your aches and pains in some lovely hot mineral baths should you wish...)

Nope, don't think I'll make it to that event!

(Also explains why I hadn't recalled seeing it on the DW calendar...)

There is bound to be space available, there are quite a number of rooms onsite. If they are full (which I doubt), there is always option of the marquee or under a kind household's sunshade, of which there should be a few to choose. There's also the "Mangy Mongel" coffee house which is a bunch of small tents, might be a bit low on the table and chairs front for that one though, most people seem to scatter themselves about on cushions, or hay bales from memory.
