• Mac and Cheese

Please contact me directly at rani23@gmail.com and let me know if you have any food allergies or other issues and I will do my utmost best to accommodate. (Don't be that person who tells me on Saturday at 11:30 that they're allergic to something! It maybe too late for me to help you then!)

Looking forward to seeing you there!

The qualifier target will be up until all martial activities are suspended for the Semi-Finals. Once the range re-opens, the target will be changed and the top scores will compete for a basket containing a few thematic prizes. After a winner is found, novelty targets will continue to rotate for your amusement until 4 pm.

Arts & Sciences

Documentation is not required but be prepared to discuss your potable and those of the other Kingdom Brewers. Why ingredients did you use?, what changes did you make and why? Ask advise of on how to improve your craft or ask about others teachable moments.

Cut & Thrust

On October 7th. at Aethelmearc Crown Tournament/20 Year Celebration there will be a Cut & Thrust tournament. This tournament is the inaugural competition to select the first bearer of the Sylvan Brass Crescent. I hope that the Brass Crescent Challenge will become a tradition among the C&T practitioners of the kingdom of Aethelmearc, much as has the Iron Ring challenge. The challenge follows rules which are similar in scope to those of the Iron Ring, and will be posted at a later date.

 

The tournament its self will be of a Round Robin style. The two individuals with the most victories will then vie for honor of the Crescent in best of 5 bout under the Brass Crescent Challenge rules.

Crown Tournament

As usual, all questions about the Crown Tournament itself should be directed to the Kingdom Earl Marshal and unto the Crown.

Equestrian

9am set up equipment items; Paperwork for incoming horse and riders who have not already completed.

10 am authorizations. Followed by a riders meeting.

11am Games course. Possibly with multiple runs

Afternoon post Crown.

Games course.

Viscount Sir Alexander has offered a new game for the afternoon.

Entertainment

The Debatable Choir is preparing several vocal selections for your listening pleasure!

Fencing

Hello Aethelmearc. My name is Ru Cavorst and I am the MIC for fencing. If there are fencers there Friday night, list will be open as soon as possible for singles and if there are enough fencers perhaps a tournament around 6 PM.

 

List will open Sat at 9:00 for inspections, authorizations, singles, and warm ups. Break when processional is organizes so people can support their fighters. Restart once the opening rounds of Crown begin. There will be an open tournament which will be a one hour bear pit Tourney, unlimited wins, with the 2/1 scoring format. The final 6-8, will participate in a single round of paranoia. List will be closed for Crown semifinals. After the Crown tournament the list will reopen for singles and a scholar tournament. The tournament will be a round Robin with the finals being a random weapon format. List will close at 4:30

Heavy Combat (non-Crown)

Lord Robert Pour Maintenant (ksprague1959 at gmail.com) will be coordinating heavy combat beyond that already offered as part of Crown Tournament.

Heraldry Consult Table

A heraldry consult table will be available courtesy of Dame Elsbeth Anne Roth.

History Display

Mistress Hrefna Ulfvarinsdottir (ravenstyx at gmail.com) will be organizing a history display to celebrate the 20 year legacy of our glorious kingdom.

Merchants

A small merchants’ row will be set up for your shopping pleasure. Any merchants interested in participating should contact either of the autocrats (THL Muirgheal inghean Dubhghaill muirgheall at gmail.com, 724-683-7558 or Baroness Elena de la Palma elenadelapalma at gmail.com, 916-704-2367.)

Thrown Weapons

Thrown weapons will be available throughout the day. Lady Juliana Ravenshaw will be coordinating.

Youth Combat

Youth fighters and other responsible kids ages 6 and up are encouraged to arrive by 10:00 am to serve as list runners for Crown Tourney. What does a list runner do? They carry index cards from the table where the Minister of the Lists determines which fighters will be paired for fights in round to the herald who announces the fighters, and then return the cards back to the Minister of the List when a fight is over and a winner is announced. They also carry small wooden shields to the shield stands at each list so the fighters can see by their heraldry which list field they're going to fight in, and return them to the List table when each bout is done. List runners get to be right where the action is at the most exciting tournament of the season! Kids interested in being list runners should report to Mistress Arianna of Wynthrope by the List table before the tournament.

 

After Crown Tournament is over, in the mid-afternoon, youth fighters will armor up for fighting practice and melees, as well as a chance to fight against adult sparring partners. Loaner gear will be available, and any interested kids ages 6-17 can try fighting; they do not have to be authorized.
