Hello, I know y'all are pretty busy, but I wanted to pass along a flyer for 
ditribution throughout your kingdoms. Equestrian events are few and far 
between, and I wanted to offer my event up for y'all enjoyment! I'm not 
sure of the best way to get this out, so feel free to forward to whomever 
you feel would be most interested. I do realize that some of you will have 
to attend your Crown Lists =-) But I wanted to pass this on anyway!

The Romance Of The Rose!


November 5, 6 and 7 will see the hosting of an equestrian event of Epic 
Proportions!! There will be something to interest all attendees, equestrian 
or not, with many prizes and gifts, and several tournaments, from 
equestrian to heavy to light.


The site will be the Bit and Spur, one block from I-95, in Cocoa, a short 
hop from Georgia and Alabama! (757 Friday Rd, Cocoa, Fl, 32926)


The schedule runs something like this,...


Nov 5 site opens at noon. From 5 pm untill dark, there will be rider 
authorizations, and mounted combat authorizations. The site has a lighted 
arena, so there will also be some fun games run. A traveler's stew will be 
offered for a fee by Clan Thorsday.


Nov 6, Sat; weapons inspection begins at 9 am, and the heavy weapons list 
starts at 10 am. Lunch is serverd around noon, and will be provided for a 
fee by Clan Thorsday, who always put on some good grub! 


1 o'clock sees the procession for the Romance of the Rose, and the games 
for that begin soon after the last processor. (so Riders! Pull out all the 
stops, and bard to the Teeth!) 


Court will be about 6 (providing the RSVPs are in the positive) and feast 
after that. 


The evening's entertainment will consist of all sorts of things, from a 
birthday Hafla, to riding more games in the lighted arena! If there is 
enough interest, maybe even a tourchlight tourney of some kind.


Nov 7, Sun morning; it has been suggested that we hold a Champion's 
Challange for the heavies followed by fighter practice, and more games in 
the arena. Stay tuned for more info. Site officially closes at 3 pm, but 
that's just a formality.  We can stay as long as we like, and no-one will 
be drafted into cleaning!


There will be a Novice Art/Sci which we are really excited about. It is for 
all interested folks, but a lot of equestrians are entering items. So 
please bring someting for that.


Merchants are welcome. The fee is $10, which goes directly to the site.  We 
have a merchant Coordinater, please notify Jutte Haberl (Joan Bahur) 2770

This is a camping event, but there are spiffy hotels RIGHT ACROSS THE 
ROAD!!!!! There are also sturdy bull pens to stall the horses in. (this 
place hosts rodeos, barrel racing, and roping events)


We have a feast deadline of Oct 15th. There will be no waiting list, and we 
must have at least 25 feast goers signed up, or we eat at the hotel across 
the street =-) Feast is taken from excerpts of "The Romance of the Rose" 
written by Jean Renart, and is very meat heavy!


Site fees, weekend - $12, day - $8 Feast - $6, horses free =-) Non-member 
surcharge - $3
