[MR] Coronation Cambok pictures

[thatursula at aol.com]

I hate to say it, but it's not really Cambok without the sticks, but as Guinievre pointed out, it was probably a good thing that cambok sticks weren't involved in this particular mudbath.  
 
The game was invented by Sir Daffyd ap Gwystl in the early 90's.  He's a Canadian expatriot who was missing his hockey.  He researched similar games in period and made a bunch of cambok sticks (we still have ours).  The lst cambok game (with sticks) that I personally witnessed was in Elvegast at the (1st?) Jongleurie in something like 1996.

Cheers,

You know, this is the first evidence I've seen of the game actually being 
played! 
 
For a long time I thought it was a sort of "SCAdian urban legend."
 
Are the rules (I assume there are *some* basic rules) anywhere published, or are 
they entirely vernacular?

Greetings!

Though I didn't get any good pictures of court or the like, I did manage to
take a bunch of shots of the Cambok game in the mud - if anyone is
interested, they can be found at

Enjoy!

YIS,
