[MR] Novice Tourney & Northern Regional War Practice Event Announcement

[Abel Brem of Regnesfolc]

Storvik Novice and Un-Belt Tourney  with  Northern Regional War
Practice
July 7,8,9 2006

In the 11th to the 13th Centuries, the Crusades provided an
opportunity for many an un-tested warrior to prove his valor on the
battle field.  Before you set off on a pilgrimage to war this summer,
test your skills against your own countrymen before you test your
skills against the infidels.

Martial Activities:

Authorizations:  Being only a few weeks before Pennsic War, this is a
great time to get authorized.  Novices looking to participate in the
Tourney, and those seasoned veterans trying out a new weapon style
should arrive early, as we expect there are many who will need to be
authorized.  (Marshall's who are available to help out with
authorizations, please contact the Autocrat or the MIC William the
Younger).

Novice Tournament:  This tournament will be exclusively for warriors
who have been authorized for and practicing any form of heavy combat
for less than one year.

Un-belt Tournament:  This is the tournament for those who are no
longer novices, but have not yet been knighted.  Squires are welcome
to take part in this tournament, and members of the Order of Chivalry
are encouraged to support their squires and observe the brave
fighters of our fair Atlantia.

Northern Regional War Practice: (Starts Promptly at 3 PM Saturday).
What pre-war event would be complete without melee practice.  This
will be an official Northern Regional War practice. Our site has lots
of open field and wooded areas for several different scenarios some
of which will include combat archery.  (there will NOT be war
practice on Sunday)

Rapier and Youth Combat: TBD

Archery:
There will be a Novice Target Archery Competition as well as an open
tournament

Arts and Sciences Activities

The Crusades brought middle eastern art and science to the west, and
western culture to the east.  All entries should relate to the
crusades in some way.  All entrants (While supplies last) will
receive a hand made Coptic style book for comments.

Novice A&S Competition:  For artisans who have been practicing their
craft for one year or less.  You could be new to the Society, or new
to the discipline, true novices only please.

Open A&S Competition:  The theme is the crusades, so please relate
your project to a location and time period appropriate.  Keep in mind
that the Crusades took place over several centuries, and people from
all over Europe and the Middle East were involved.

Open Display: Please bring out any of your favorite projects new or
old.  Many novices would love to learn about your projects.

Merchants:
We  have plenty of shady space close to the tourney fields for
merchant booths.  Please let us know a head of time if you will be
coming, so we may plan accordingly.  There will be no merchant fees,
but all merchants will be expected to pay the regular site fee.
