Historical Field Trip - Brandywine River
| Date: | October 24th, 2010 |
|---|---|
| Time: | 19:30 UK Time (18:30 Servertime) |
| Location: | Meet: The Golden Perch, Stock. Event: Girdley Island |
Event details:
Where does the Brandywine river come from, and where does it end its long journey? Did the river really freeze once, so white wolves could attack the Shire? Whatever possesses the Bucklanders to go swimming or mucking about in boats? Answers to these questions, and more, may be given during our third historical field trip in hobbit lands. There are no guarantees, though!
We will meet up in the Golden Perch inn in Stock for a quick ale before heading off up-river. Our target is Girdley Island, famed recreation spot for Bucklanders, with promises of good fishing and little in the way of furry wildlife with sharp teeth. Once there, our local historians will present stories, tales, poetry and songs related to hobbit lore. Food WILL be served.
Want to know more about hobbit history? Then come along! Bring your fishing rod too!
The third in our series of hobbit field trips, this will combine a few lectures/stories of hobbit lore with songs and entertainment. Former events have been to Greenfields and The Three-Farthing Stone.
Given the subject matter, this is very much a hobbit-preferred event. Please, please come as a hobbit if you'd like to participate. Should the odd loreseeking dwarf or longshank interested in hobbit lore still choose to show up, they won't be chased away, but wouldn't you rather just roll a hobbit alt for the evening? If these pleas still go unheard, be prepared for puzzled looks and the odd comment about your beard and/or height during the night.
People are encouraged to listen raptly to the given lectures and save most dialogue to the breaks, but a few odd questions are always welckome! It goes without saying that this is a 100% IC event, but remember that our historians often go for a tall, exciting tale more than strict lore accuracy.
The trip starts outside the Golden Perch inn in Stock. After a bit of travel, we expect the tales to begin ca 30 minutes later at Girdley Island.
The field trip should last about 2 hours or so.
Have fun! And read all about the field trip in your local paper, the Bramblebury Gazette, at sites.google.com/site/brambleburygazette/
