Arts and Sciences:

We are hoping to have an extensive Arts and Sciences program at Spring War this year. We need your help. Collegia will be held in the Feasting tent. As such some protection is provided for collegia. Classes should be 1 hour in length, but longer collegia times are available where necessary and in consultation with the Arts and Sciences Officer of Mordenvale (Jane Stockton - jane_stockton@webcon.net.au).

Competition:
There will be an Arts and Sciences competition held at Spring War, the theme is "Something Martial". So anything to do with war/fighting etc - clothing, armour, tents, campaign furniture, marching songs etc etc. A date and time for judging will be announced when the schedule has been finalised. If you wish to enter something that can't be brought to the A and S location (ie the Feasting Tent), please contact the A and S Officer (Jane Stockton) as soon as possible (to arrange for on site judging).

These tunic style dresses and jackets are loose fitting, very comfortable and will allow you to make your own garb from styles found in archaeological digs.
