[MR] Masters of Defense this Saturday!

[Medb ingen Brain]

Greetings!
A last reminder; Lochmere's Masters of Defense takes place this Saturday, 23
September.  The announcement follows:


Masters of Defense
23 September 2006
Come one and all to join Their Excellencies, Vlad and Medb, and celebrate
the birthday of the Barony of Lochmere!

Martial Activities
In celebration of this glorious event there will be a tournament in the
style of the Masters of Defense. Combatants will fight in five forms each of
both heavy and rapier. The five forms for the heavy list will include Weapon
and Shield, Greatsword, Polearm, Double Weapon, Single Sword. Rapier will
include Single Weapon, Double Weapon, Sword and Buckler, Sword and Dagger,
and Weapon and Parry Device.

Due to the small size of the list field and surrounding area, tents and
pavilions will be extremely limited. Please contact the Autocrat with
pavilion requests and sizes. We can not guarantee that you will be able to
set up near the list field, but we will do our best to provide a comfortable
viewing area.

Children's Activities
There will be a Children's Activity tent set up far enough from the list
field to keep small children out of harm's way given the confined area
surrounding the list field. Lady Hrosvitha von Celle is in charge of
Children's Activities.

NOTE: A parent or legal guardian must accompany and remain with any child
brought to the Activity tent.

Please contact Vitha at kerrimart<at>mindspring.com for more information.

Feast
Mistress Keillyn Fitzwarren is planning a sumptuous feast using recipes from
De Fait du Cuisine, a cookbook from the early 15th C., and prepared by
Keilyn's Companie of Cooks. There will also be a simple lunch served.

Please contact Mistress Keilyn at keilyn<at>comcast.net with any dietary
restrictions.
