Letter of Intent for the Rapier Tournament »

Lady Sorcha the Red is preparing a delectable feast for all!! The menu will be posted as soon as it is available.

Master Gilbert has been furiously organizing youth fighting! He assures us he will wear something to make him stand out from the throngs of Ruantallan Youth. (Like my beard - G)

Please Pre-Register for Youth Combat to ensure enough time is allocated to your age group »

(Even if a youth has never done youth combat before, please preregister them if they would like to try it!)

Update for Youth Combat:
Division 2 will be from 10 to 10:50, and Division 3 will be from 11 to noon. There were no interested youth for Division 1.

Mistress Elise has confirmed a wonderful shooting space on site for our Baronial Archery Champion to test out his evil plans (oops!) some ideas for both adults and children in preparation of the upcoming archery tournament at War Camp. Lord Algernon will also be available for Royal Rounds.

For those wishing to avoid marshals all together, H.E. Mistress Gwen and Mistress Bess have graciously agreed to teach some textile (A & S) classes. Specific details will follow shortly.

Lady Margaret and Lady Isa will be leading the charge with the children in “Calligraphy and Illumination for Kids.”

We have a few other surprises up our sleeves, but if we told you about them they wouldn’t be surprises now would they!

Make sure you come or we’ll talk about you!!
