Tourney of Silver Chalice XVI
November 7 - 9, 2003
Barony of Hidden Mountain



Gather round, once again, dear friends, for it is time again for the Silver 
Chalice Tourney!  Yes, the 16th anniversary of the Hidden Mountain tourney for 
novices has come around, and it is time for one more person to leave those 
ranks behind. So come and help us celebrate this rite of passage.

Activities:  There will be the traditional novice tourney and a tourney for 
the experienced fighter alike for both heavy and rapier categories. For the 
less martially inclined, there will be three A&S competitions for hidden 
mundanities, an open category for novices (defined as a field of study practiced less 
than 1 year), and  a CYA (Cover Your Armor) Competition (sponsored by James of 
Middle Aston).  Two Classes will be offered:   Basic Court Etiquette,  and 
Basic T- tunic Construction. 

Feast:  Will there be food, you ask?  Why, nothing but the best from Hidden 
Mountain! House Drunken Moose will provide a glorious repast sure to please 
everyone's palate.   Please let the Autocrat know of any dietary concerns at the 
time of your reservation. Space is limited, so reserve early!

Site:   will be the Harleyville Community Center, 20 Railroad Ave., 
Harleyville, SC 29448. Limited crash space will be available in the hall, but there is 
plenty of space for the primitive camper behind the hall. Sorry, no pets or 
fires allowed. This is a discretely wet site. Site will open at 5 PM on Friday 
and close at noon on Sunday. Merchants are welcome; please direct any questions 
about space to the Autocrat.

Cost:   On Board is $13, day trip is $7. Children 6-12 will be half price, 
under 6 will be the guests of the Barony. Non-members please add $3 to this fee. 
 Please let us know how many children are included when you make your 
reservation. Make all checks out to Barony of Hidden Mountain/SCA, Inc. The only made 
reservation is a paid reservation.
