Good afternoon everyone,
Gosh, that year flew by didn’t it? Hope you’ve all had a great year and are ready for one more go. So, as they say, once more into the breach
We’d like to highlight our off Anvil activities to make sure everyone who wants to attend is prepared and able to. Please do your best to ensure you’ve swung by to the Academy before arriving to attend these, so we can book everyone on (this ensures gate numbers will work and allow us to adjust crew numbers if needed).
Saturday, 9.45-12: A deep dark mine, filled with gems! We invite our youngest students to join us on a trip to the summer realm to explore by torchlight! Groups of up to 8 at a time will head over in 20 minute intervals across the morning.
Saturday, 12.30-14.00: We have space for around a dozen cadets to take to the field to monster a skirmish for their classmates. Volunteers must have completed their test of battle to attend, and attending guarantees a space on the cadet quest. Prompt arrival at the Academy for 12.30 is essential to travel over to the crew side and get into kit. Attendees must be signed up with the Combat team in advance.
Saturday 13.15-14.00: A monster problem in the castle of thorns. Our pre-cadets have been asked for their help with some problems that may be hard to see at first.
Saturday 17:15 – An imperial patrol has been ambushed and needs our support in Bittershore, in Ossium. They’ve called for our help and the cadets will be sure to answer.
In Anvil, we’ll have our usual activities going on at the Academy too, Arts and Crafts, Student Council, Potion Making, Religious Studies,
I’d also like to highlight the available times for Citizenship Tests and Tests of Arms. These can each only be taken once per event, and should be taken in this order. While you can take your citizenship test at any age, we recommend 11 or older is the ideal time for this. The Test of Battle requires you to be 14. You should have attended at least one of each appropriate lesson before taking each type of test.
Citizenship Tests: Friday 19.00-20.00, Saturday 14.00-15.00
Tests of Battle: Friday 19.00-20.00, Saturday 16.30-17.00
For full details, we encourage folks to swing by to parents evening on Friday for a full rundown of what’s going on.
A quick reminder as well that any young role player at the Academy must be overseen by a nominated guardian or parent at all times,tl and at no point can the crew of the Academy be considered to be in loco parentis of a child. The specifics of what level of supervision is required for your young player can be found here. All guardians must be aware of this page and the links at the bottom of it.

The bottom line is that under 7s are accompanied 24/7, 7-10s must always have a parent responsible for them and 11-15s need regular parental check-ins.
Thanks all,
Looking forward to seeing you this weekend,
The Academy Team
