During semester time, the College of St Ursula meets once a week to further goals and projects of an Arts and Science nature. This may range from garb making and heraldry, to brewing and embroidery. Details about what will be happening during each meeting will be announced over the Ursulans mailing list. Every week we will attempt to have a teacher for an organised lesson (for example jewellery making). Unplanned weeks will be for finishing projects from previous weeks, working on individual projects, dancing or other miscellaneous activities and general socialising.
A&S has finished for this year and will restart with the new semester in 2012.
In addition to the college-run Arts and Science evenings, the Baronial Arts and Science evening is held every Tuesday evening from approx 6:30pm, in Marrickville Town Hall.
The College makes a strong weekly showing at the Baronial Fighter Practice, which is held on Thursday evenings, from about 7:30pm. This is at Marrickville Town Hall. There is also a "Skills Knight" run on Tuesday at the same location from about 8:10pm by Sir Berenger of Nancy which will focus on drills and technique both in and out of armour.
If there is enough interest, efforts will be made to start a fighter practice on campus- let us know if you want to fight and can't make it to Marrickville!
Fencers meet at the Baronial Fighter Practice on Tuesday in Marrickville Town Hall.
