[MR] Coronation of Cuan & Padraigin, April 2 - 4

[Gillam, Carol Denise]

Greetings to each of you this day,
 
The Coronation of their Highnesses, Cuan and Padraigin, is fast
approaching.  Come be a part of this jubilant day along Atlantia's
shores.  Please find more information about this celebration at
http://seareach.atlantia.sca.org/coronation.htm
<http://seareach.atlantia.sca.org/coronation.htm> . Information is
updated often.  New information will be listed in RED on the web site.
 
Questions about event fees:  I have had several questions concerning the
fee structure for the event.  I apologize if it seemed confusing.  It is
as follows:
Site Fee: $5.00.  If you mail your reservations before March 12, site
fee is only $2.00.
Cabins: $5.00.  Tent camping is free.
Feast: $12.00 for Feast of Giants.  We will also offer a Tavern-style
feast of meat or vegetable pottage, bread, cheese, fruit and beverage
for $3.00.  Please bring your feast ware.
Please remember to include $3.00 for the Non-Member Surcharge (NMS) if
applicable.  
 
**************************************************
Tournaments of the day:  
Heavy Fighting tournaments:
Heavy fighting will open with an off weapons tourney.  All combatants
not using a shield are invited to participate.  This will be a single
elimination tourney to whet the appetite. 

Following the off weapons tourney will be the Giants Tourney.  To enter
this tournament, combatants MUST be Giant.  One can be giant of stature,
giant of heart, or giant of ego.  Every fighter is AT LEAST on of these
three.   Come prove your worthiness among giants.  Giants have huge
appetites & need lots of fighting to feed this hunger .  To facilitate
this we will make this a Bedford points tournament so there will be as
much fighting as any giant can take.  
 
Rapier fighting tournaments:  
Please contact Lord Calledon of Halbourne at calledon at hotmail.com for
more information.
