<p><b>New Theme:</b> This year's Novice Tourney will have a Middle Eastern
theme (but all gentles of the Known World are welcome!), so bring your zills,
dumbeks and backgammon sets! Arts & Sciences classes will also have a
Middle Eastern flair - planned classes include belly dancing, drumming, illumination,
henna designs, and making sekanjebin (What is that? Attend and discover!)

less (or want to authorize before Pennsic), please come and test your skills
against your peers. Prizes will be awarded for the winner of the tourney,

of the tourney will depend on the level of participation. Following a short
break after the tourney, all heavy fighters are called to a melee practice
as time allows. Also, as a bonus, on Sunday there will be a Northern Regional
War Practice! Two chances to fight for one event! As Pennsic is fast approaching,
