The Winter Althing was held December 30th 1995 at West Point on the Hudson. The atmosphere of the building (West Points original train station) was well suited for the event. The vaulted ceiling with exposed timber trusses and wood chairs and tables made for a warm setting.

Attendees feasted on an authentic meal of roasted lamb, duck, breads, cheeses and soup. It was agreed that the food was outstanding and enjoyed by all.

After the meal a few members were brave enough to taste strawberry and cranberry mead brewed by Wargs of Woden member Kieth Rauchnouk. It was quite an experience and it tasted totally different than the commercially available mead.
