This bounced back the last time I tried to send it so here is it again.

This is a reminder for all those desiring to goto the Rencester event on 
April 13th that feast reservations must be made by April 3rd. Please see the 
event flyer below for details. (Sorry for the late reminder. Classes and 
getting ready for the real world is taking a toll on my SCA time.)

Rencester’s Tornement Dæg Williamsburg Virginina April 13, 2002

Felicitations and salutations to the good gentles of Atlantia from the
students of the College of Rencester! In the fine tradition of competing for
grades, the College will be holding a tournament event to celebrate the
impending close of classes. As we have a reputation for being a well-rounded
school, the day’s events will include a wide variety of contests,
encompassing wit and knowledge as well as the fighting arts. So come and
join us for a day of merriment and mayhem- no final exams, we promise.

Contests: The day’s events will include marshall tournaments, poetry and
trivia contests, and an arts and sciences competition. Gentles in attendance
at the event are encouraged to enter as many or as few of these contests as
they desire. Prizes will be given to the winners of each contest. At the
close of these competitions, a Champion will be chosen for Rencester. To be
eligible for Champion, one must enter three of the five contests. Marshall
Tourneys will be held in both rapier and heavy weapons. Arts & Sciences is
an open competition to be judged by the populace. Anything may be entered,
but we encourage submissions which incorporate Rencester’s colors of blue,
white, and gold. There will be a SCA Trivia contest to test the knowledge of
the attendents. SCA Trivia suggestions for the trivia contest would be
greatly appreciated, and can be sent to Erin Epperson . Lastly there will be
a poetry contest based on a list of given words. The Baroness will be the
judge of this tourny.

Children’s Activities: As to not leave out the children of Atlantia (ages
twelve and under) there is also a competition for the title of Children
Champion of Rencester. There will be competitions of courtesy, heraldry, and
physical activities. For the courtesy prize, each person who attends the
event will be given a ribbon. The ribbons are to be given throughout the day
to children for are exhibiting good behavior. The heraldry contest will be
for the best drawing of the Rencester and Tir-y-Don arms. There will also be
sheep races in a three legged race manner. To be declared the champion one
must participate in two out of the contests.
