[MR] Southern Atlantia Archery Day is this weekend!

[Svana Haraldsdottir]

Southern Atlantia Archery Day is this weekend!
May 15, 16, and 17

See http://www.croisbrigte.org/SAAD3 for details.

A cold wind blows from the North. On that wind ride the long-ships in
full sail. The NORSE! They are set on the pillage & plunder of our
homelands.

Hide your women, your goods and your livestock. Break out your bows and
steel, and join the Canton of Crois Brigte in the Barony of Sacred
Stone, as we try to stop the Norse invasion.

Your skill in archery as well as spear and axe throwing will be
challenged. Persons of all skill levels are invited to participate.

Awards in a variety of different categories will be given. There will be
a Friday night shoot as well as a special bonus shoot available on
Saturday for those willing to try.

There will be a Silent Auction at this event that will benefit the
Sacred Stone Baronial Encampment at Pennsic.  So bring those beloved
items that you no longer play with... Allow us to battle silently over
your neglected treasures!  We'll have a lot of fun, and raise funds for
the Baronial Encampment at the same time.

Roanwoulfe Tavern has once again agreed to be on site for those wishing
to purchase their always fine sustenance. We've heard tasty rumors of a
limited run dinner special on Saturday night, so check with the tavern
and reserve a dinner plate while you're indulging in one of their
awesome ham sandwiches...

Elchenburg Castle in Boonville, North Carolina, at 2239 Center Road,
