Good gentles,

Our Stierbach Baronial Birthday is fast approaching. With the King, the Prince, and the Princess in attendance, feast and cabin spaces are filling fast. If you are planning to attend, please get your registration sent off soon - as in this week - to ensure you have a space reserved. 

The Stierbach Baronial Birthday celebration will have fighting - heavy and rapier. We will have target archery. We will have Heraldry displays, children's activities, and a huge feast. 

Please join us for our celebration. And if fighting is not your passion, we have a lovely covered pavilion called the "Solar" for adult craft work, or just to sit and chat or play board games. Note that there is a SEPARATE pavilion for children's activities and games. 

We are holding a raffle for all who volunteer an hour at the event. The prizes - special "themed" (garb, cooking, arts & sciences, etc.) baskets. The only way to "buy" a ticket is to volunteer an hour at the event...

We will have displays of crafts and projects in-work to highlight local artisans - bow making, needlework, illumination and calligraphy are only a few of the excellent displays that will be on-hand. 

We have planned Bardics both Friday and Saturday nights. Merchants - merchants are welcome, and even encouraged to reserve space and join us at the event.
