Dance Practice Tues., Oct. 6 Central Park 6:30 PM

The next dance practice will be on Tues., Oct 6th from 6:30-9:00 PM at Belvedere Castle in Central Park.

Everyone is welcome to join us for practice; no prior dance experience required… Practices are held in street clothes, as many are traveling after work.

We’ll meet in the grassy area of Shakespeare’s garden if it is open. If you follow the “From the West Side” http://northpass.eastkingdom.org/DancePractice_CentralPark.html the grassy area is the “little clearing” before you reach the castle steps. We are typically near the bench on the left side. Once it gets dark OR if the grass isn’t open we move atop the castle. If you cannot find us, please phone (sometimes there is traffic, sometimes we are on the castle if the grass is soggy, etc.). If you will be arriving after 7:30 phoning is also advised (however, if we are mid-dance we may miss your call, please leave a message).

To find us atop the castle… If you are coming from the west side, once you climb the steps you can find us congregated by the wall slightly to the left of the little covered alcove in front of you. From the east side once you go up the steps at the back of the castle we’ll be to the left near the wall before the little covered alcove.

If it’s raining we meet under the overhang up top. If severe weather is in the forecast please check your email or call us on dance practice days; we’ll make a decision by 2 PM if we’re going to cancel practice.

Upcoming practices:
Tuesdays in the park, weather permitting
For more info or questions, please email or phone.

BaconBridge planning meeting/phone conference- Oct 20th at 8pm

Attention residents of Brokenbridge!

We are planning an event for early February 2016 called BaconBridge.  It will be a celebration of all things bacon.  We are holding a phone conference planning meeting over GoToMeeting on Tuesday, October 20th at 8pm.  There is only space available for 25 people so you MUST sign up for it.  Once you sign up, you will receive the instructions for accessing the GoToMeeting conference.

To sign up for the meeting, send an email to webminister@brokenbridge.eastkingdom.org and include your mundane name, SCA name, and a phone number (for just-in-case purposes).  You should receive instructions including the meeting ID# and further instructions within a week of signing up.

Don’t know what GoToMeeting is?
It is an easy way to hold virtual meetings.  You can either access the meeting through your computer, or call the phone number from any phone anywhere and participate in the meeting that way.  Here is a quick reference guide for anyone who needs more clarification.

If, for some reason, you anticipate not being able to access the webinar through any of the above mentioned means but still want to participate, contact the Brokenbridge webminister (webminister@brokenbridge.eastkingdom.org) and I will work with you to try to find someone willing and able to host you at their place for the evening so you can participate from there.
