Sapphire Joust X

May 22-25, 2009

Barony of Caer Mear



Come and journey to Caer Mear for Sapphire Joust X!

As in years past, this promises to be an event that's not to be missed.  We
promise a fun-filled weekend of heavy and rapier fighting, youth rapier and
heavy fighting, archery and thrown weapons as well as a wide variety of Arts
and Sciences.



Heavy Fighting will include a number of tournaments including the Sapphire
Tournament, a Tournament of Chivalry, A Novice Tournament, an Order of the
Kraken Tournament, a St. Aiden Heraldic Display Team Tournament and a Rose
Tournament.  These tournaments all promise to be exciting to watch and the
participation should be something of which legends are made.  We will also
have a ravine battle for those who need a little more fighting "love”.



Rapier Fighting will include the Sapphire Tournament as well as a Ravine and
Woods Battle.



Youth fighting – we will have a parents meeting followed by a Youth Fighter
Practice and Tournament.



Arts and Sciences will have three tents.  One will be for competitions and
displays; one for classes and one for artisans to gather under to meet other
artisans.  The competitions will be the Best use of Sapphire Gem, and Best
Interpretation of the Baronial Order Medallions (all medallions will be
given to their Excellencies of Caer Mear to use at their discretion) and a
brewing competition.  There will be an open display for those wishing to
show their current works in progress as well as any other projects they may
want to display.  Classes will be held during the weekend.  Those interested
in teaching should contact the A&S coordinator.  She will be producing a
list of classes and will be accepting registrations once the list has been
compiled.   The A&S gathering tent is for those who would like to come and
meet other artisans.  You may bring a project, but you are not required to
stay for the day.  You may come and go as you see fit.



Archery:  There will be a Sapphire Prize archery shoot.


Children's Activity:  We will have a Children's Activity from 2-4 PM on
Saturday.  Children must attend with a parent.  Children should not be left
unattended at any time during the activity.

We are in the process of working on the Schedule of Events and that will be
posted on the Website and sent out as soon as we have a final copy.  Stay
Tuned!



Shopping– Sapphires past have shown us that there is lots of shopping to be
had; and this year should be no different!  Start saving now!



Middle Eastern Hafla – There will be a Middle Eastern Hafla sponsored by the
min el J'bal el Zarr'a of Isenfir (possibly Saturday night - details are
still forthcoming)
