[MR] The official poop

[Vernon L. Willet, Jr.]

Just in case you missed it the first time, here it is again!  Reserve
early; reserve often.

May 12th and 13th-Mongol's Revenge,   Barony of Caer Mear, Powhatan
Virginia


 To Arms!  To Arms!  Let all Knights and Squires; all Counts and Dukes;
and all fighters of every description rally to the defense of the Baron
of Caer Mear!  Word has come from the Genghis Khan that unless Caer Mear
submit to the Khanate, it must be overrun!  His Excellency has returned
a bold answer, but without great support, disaster must ensue.  The
conflict will take place in several battle scenarios, with enough
fighting to satisfy anyone.  In addition, this will be the first battle
event of the season.  What an opportunity to hone your combat skills!
So come all Normans, Celts, Germans, Frenchmen and anyone else whose
sympathies lie with the West, and stand with Baron Balynar to resist the
advances of the East.  However, if your sympathies lie with the East,
then come and stand for the Khan.  Either way, come to this event for a
rousing good time!

 Activities:  We will have challenges for archers, including some never
before seen in Atlantia (perhaps).  Dame Margaret Cameron will provide a
tourney for fighters of the rapier.  Non-combatants are encouraged to
bring their ongoing projects for the interest and pleasure of their
peers.  Please bring your knowledge and share it with us.  Children will
be amused by their parents, as there will be no organized children’s'
activities.  A Genghis Khan look-alike contest will be held for the
entertainment of all.  Attitude and entourage are assets to the
successful competitor.  AshaHito and Lady Aithne will be the judges, so
bring your best bribes, as they are known to be susceptible.

 Feasting at Mongol's Revenge:  The Desert Wind Dance Troupe will
entertain at the feast.  And what a feast it will be!  There will be two
meat courses, several sauces, several vegetables, breads, fruits, sweets
and who know what all!.  All of these things will be prepared by Lord
AshaHito, Baron Werhener and the Bavarian Gnomes.  Due to the exquisite
nature of this feast, no reservations will be accepted after 4 May
2001.  None will be available at the door.  So reserve early and often.

 Merchants:  Merchants are welcome.  Space in the hall is very limited,
but some covered and much open space exists right outside the hall.
There is no fee for merchant activities, but please contact Master Finnr

 Grimulfsson (James Howell 804-598-4658 or finnr at caermear.org), to
coordinate space.

 Site:  Mongol's Revenge will take place at the Powhatan County
Fairgrounds, in Powhatan Virginia.  Site opens at 10:00 AM on Saturday
and closes at noon on Sunday.  Camping will be available on Saturday
night and a bardic circle and bonfire are expected.  The site is
discretely wet (wine and beer only; no original containers, pack out
your empties).  Come set your pavilion around the Battlefield and stay
the night with us.  Mundane tenting is allowed, but we ask that they be
set up on the second line.
