<P>Some updated information about the Feste d'Autumne was left off the flier in this month's Acorn.&nbsp; Please note the following:</P>
<P>Heavy and rapier fighters - please look at your respective sections carefully.&nbsp; You need to bare the favor of a consort.&nbsp; Don't have a consort?&nbsp; Come on up...I suspect we can hook you up!&nbsp; Heavies: if you have visible heraldry, please bring/use it.</P>
<P>We *will* have a thrown weapons competition!</P>
<P>Children are 12 and under.&nbsp; The price for early registration ("before 9/14") means *postmarked no later than the 14th.*</P>
<P>Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you!</P>
<P>Elize</P>
<P>And here, for the last time, is the flier:</P>
