CANDLEMAS

January 25th, 2003
Canton of Aire Faucon

The Canton of Aire Faucon invites One and All to join us on Saturday, January
25, 2003 in celebrating Candlemas. The day shall be filled with games,
dancing, and fighting to lift our spirits during these dark days of winter.
To supplement our stores of food from the field, Our gracious Baroness,
Kisaiya Zingara, has granted us permission to hunt upon her royal lands for
all manner of beasts and test our skill against the wild boars that rampage
through her forests and eradicate the poachers.

Baron Achbar ibn Ali will host the Hunt for the Boar.  So bring your spears
and hunting hounds so that we may feast upon their flesh.  Hunting teams will
be comprised of one or two hounds (thrusting weapons and shield or dagger and
buckler) and a huntsman (spear or great sword).  Poachers are limited to
archers only!

WE ALSO HAVE NEED OF BEASTS.  CONTACT BARON ACHBAR FOR WEAPONS FORMS.

There shall be a test of skill of arms using rapier throughout the day.  THE
FORMAT WILL BE A ROUND ROBIN FORMAT.

All combatants, and any others who wish to participate, are asked to bring
one item for donation to outfit a newcomer for an event (i.e.- clothes, feast
gear, candle sticks, belt, pouch, etc).  This is not required for
participation in the tourneys.

A&S: To honor the spirit of the beasts that shall surely lose their lives on
this day, there shall be an A&S competition and display illustrating the best
depiction or use of the beasts of the hunt for Home and Hearth.  The
encouraged media for the competition are the flesh, skin, bone, and horn of
the beasts and the wood, stone and amber of the earth.
