LOCHMERE BARONIAL BIRTHDAY

The Barony of Lochmere invites friends throughout the Kingdom and beyond
to 
join us in celebrating our thirteenth birthday.  We will enjoy a day of
fine 
fall weather at the lovely St. Martins in the Field Church in Severna
Park, 
Maryland, on September 29, 2001.

A unique tourney format will feature the teaming of armored and rapier 
fighters, with some combat archery thrown in for fun!  This format has
been 
met with great enthusiasm and delight in the past.  Their Excellencies
will 
select Their Baronial Armored Champion from among the combatants, but
all 
fighters are welcome to participate.  Target archery will also be on
call 
for the day.

For those gentles not inclined to the martial arts, Lord Michael
Surbrook 
will be running the Crab & Coin, our local gaming establishment.  He
invites 
all who dare to come and try their hand at the tables!

An A&S competition will give artisans a chance to showcase their
ingenuity, 
as well as honor the Barony.  The theme, at Her Excellency’s whim, is
“Most 
Creative Use of a Crab.”  Everyone is encouraged to participate,
especially 
“beginners;” and documentation, while encouraged, is not required. 
Works in 
progress are also welcome.

For the younger SCAdians in attendance, our gracious MoM, Lady Medb
ingen 
Brain, will be hosting children’s activities throughout the afternoon 
(starting after lunch).  If you plan on having your little one(s) 
participate, you must also plan to spend time helping out.  In addition, 
anyone wishing to volunteer their time or an activity, please contact
Lady 
Medb ingen Brain (Lynda Assur) at (410) 674-7050 prior to 9:00 p.m., or
by 
email at medbingenbrain at ix.netcom.com.

Those who stay for the evening will be treated to a delicious feast
prepared 
by Sir Xenophon Vaughn, who is bringing his apron out of retirement for
this 
event.  Sir Xenophon is widely known for his prompt and marvelous
feasts.  
You don’t want to miss this one!

For your pleasure, entertainment will be provided by the Lochmere Music 
Guild and Laydes Fayre, an inter-baronial women’s music group.  They
will 
delight your ears with a variety of period music sure to please
everyone.

The site is discreetly wet, no pets are allowed on site, and NO flames
are 
allowed in the hall.  (Yes, this part is a change from previous years.) 
The 
site will open at 10 am, with authorizations beginning at 11 am.  The
site 
will close at 10 pm.

Reservations should be sent to the autocrat, Baroness Alisandra Bennett,
