[MR] Just after Pennsic there is a little event for newcomers....

[Tammy Silverman]

It's called Flight of the Falcon and it's Aire Faucon's
traditional newcomer event.  If you know
someone who would love the SCA, but hasn't had a chance to try it - this is
it!  A day of fun, with something for
everyone.   
 
We'll have fighting (heavy & rapier) with showers
available to clean up after fighting.  
 
There is A&S: advanced displays and 4 (yes FOUR) novice
competitions.  In addition there is a
poetry competition (with TWO divisions) sponsored by our Poeta Atlantiae, and a
Bardic competition (again with TWO divisions) sponsored by the Royal Bard.  
 
There will be classes - 11 different ones so far, one in
negotiation.  And most of them will
happen several times over the course of the day.  
 
There will be vendors selling lovely things - including two that
are completely new to the SCA (look - NEWCOMER MERCHANTS!!)
 
There will be displays, a medieval living encampment and a
bardic circle after feast.  
 
Feasts is six removes.  What a bargain: a mere $5 for ages 4 - 10, and $7 for ages 11 and
up.  There are only 70 seats for feast,
reserve for guaranteed seating.  (contact
Prudence the Curious to reserve - see below)
 
There will also be court - and we are part of the Royal
Progress!  
 
So come on by to the latest {and littlest} in newcomer Royal
Progress day events full of FREE fun!!!
