[MR] Sapphire Joust feast and cabin reservations

Tue May 14 12:11:37 PDT 2002

Good Afternoon all,

Just an FYI,

Feast and Cabin spaces for Sapphire Joust are moving
at an rather rapid pace. If you are interested in
either feast or cabins, it may be wise to get your
reservations in soon. 

I have copied the event flyer below , which has all
the information that you may need. I hope to see you
all there. 

In Service,

Sir Balynar Thorvaldsson
Baron, Caer Mear

> Sapphire Joust - May 24-27, 2002
>
> Barony of Caer Mear, Richmond, VA
>
> In the full bloom of Spring, young warriors yearn to
> test their mettle on the tourney field. Nothing is
> more glorious than to fight for one so fair and
> comely, who inspires great acts of chivalry and
> unparalleled honor upon the field. The annual
Sapphire
> Joust held in the Barony of Caer Mear calls all
> fighters to come and test their skills in the
tourney.
> There will be both heavy weapons and rapier
> tournaments. As is the want of Baron Balynar, the
> sapphire prizes will be awarded to the fighters who
> are deemed the most chivalrous and honorable on the
> field that day. All fighters are encouraged to wear
> the favor of one dear to them. For the less
combative,
> there will be no lack of activities, including A&S
> displays and classes, contests of games, children's
> activities, and archery. Since the weather will be
> spectacular and weekend long, there are activities
> planned for Saturday and Sunday. See the lists below
> for more details.
>
> Heavy Weapons: On Saturday, in addition to the
> traditional double elimination tourney in the
> afternoon, there will be three single elimination
> tournaments, one in each of two sword, great sword,
> and polearm, beginning at 10:00 am. Authorizations
> will begin at 9:30 am. On Sunday there will be a

> Rapier: In addition to the traditional Sapphire
Joust

a
