Queen's Rapier Championship

More information: Dining! Lodging! Directions! Classes!

To all loyal subjects of the Sylvan Kingdom of AEthelmearc, especially those who wield a blade in Her service, does Elss of Augsburg send Greetings!

Our esteemed Queen, Etain ingen Dalaig, would have by Her side that one person in all Her Empire who most ably and bravely wields their deadly Rapier. To that end, the Queen's Rapier Championship will be held on December 5, 2015, at the Unitarian Universalist Church of the North Hills, 2359 W Ingomar Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15237. Site opens at 9 am and closes by 8 PM.

More site details:

• This is a dry site, thank you for enjoying your adult beverages after the event.
• Pets are not permitted, but service animals are always welcome.
• This site is handicap accessible -- there is an elevator to the second floor for any who would like to use it. See Elss for assistance if needed.
• For those with babes in arms or young ones who need a quiet place, there is a room set aside away from the fuss. Look for the nursery, just past the lift, on the main floor.
• Parking on the upper level is reserved for those needing handicap parking, Their Majesties, Her Highness, The Baron and Baroness, and the head cooks.
• Anyone at all may drive up to the front door and unload, and then move their vehicle to the generous parking lot.

The Queen's current Champion, Lodovick of Gray's Inn, will run a Round Robin tournament for all comers. Fight well, as DEAD WILL BE DEAD.

For those who wish to indulge in scholarly pursuits, Ishiyama Gen'tarou Yori'ie is organizing classes.

Now that we are spending more time on indoor pursuits, Janos Messzaros invites the populace to show their Winter Projects in an A&S display.
