[MR] Sapphire Joust X - May 22-25, 2009

[Lady Rhiannon of Berra]

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.



*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).  There
will be an open display for one 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 who attend must attend with a parent.  Children should
not be left unattended at any time during the activity.
