[MR] Announcing the 6th Annual Seige of Glengary

[Linda Baranauskas]

Unto our Brothers and Sisters of the Kingdom of Atlantia does the Shire
of Sylvan Glen of the Fair Kingdom of AEthelmearc send greetings.  We
wish to take a few moments of your time to announce our upcoming event.

                 
                    The Sixth Annual Seige of Glengary

                   September 28th - September 30th
2001                                                  
       As autumn approaches, our fair kingdom's neighbors begin to cast 
       covetous eyes upon Aethelmearc's mountainous beauty.  In this
joyous 
       time of harvest plenty, vast armies intent upon conquest descend
upon 
       the fortress at Glengary, the gateway of our small shire.  

             Come forth, Oh Aethelmearc, and defend thy people against 
             the amassing Armys from the South and North of our fair
             Kingdom!

                        Martial activities will abound.  

       For heavy combat, there will be a torchlight tourney on Friday
night, 
       followed by battles all day Saturday including a field battle, a
bridge 
       battle, and the seige itself.  

       Archers and seige weapons are welcome!  

       Also, new to the Seige this year:  

                         Fencing! 

       Activities include a torchlight tourney Friday night and various 
       civilized amusements throughout the day Saturday.  Fencers will
help 
       determine the fate of the seige!  

       Gentles with spirits more competitive than bloodthirsty will find 
       archery and thrown weapons activities including Royal Rounds on
Saturday.

       But all is not grim war at Glengary!  Artisans will display their
skill              in an A&S competition, in which entries should have a
theme of Nature.  
       There will be dancing for the light-footed and the light-hearted,
and an 
       informal bardic circle Saturday night for the delight of audience
and 
       entertainer alike.  Saturday will also include children's
activities, a 
       silent auction, and we hope to offer a Page School class in
children's 
       Rennaisance dance.  And, of course, there will be the feast. 
Seats for 
       the feast are limited to 100, so send reservations early!
