The King's Assessment of His Armies

Barony of Black Diamond, Atlantia

http://black-diamond.atlantia.sca.org/assessment.html

Good Gentles pray take heed! War is afoot, and the armies of Atlantia are 
assembled and prepared. Dangerous times are ahead, and all must be prepared for 
the great battles to come. Towards this end, do we, the Barony of Black Diamond 
invite the populous of Atlantia to the King's Assessment of his Armies. The 
armies of Atlantia will stand ready for His Majesty's inspection upon the field 
of battle. Make ready and prepare, our enemies march as we speak. Atlantia 
will be ready.

Martial Activities:

On the eve of July the 22th, a torchlight tourney, for both Armored and 
Rapier combat will occur. Armored combat will include siege and combat archery. 
Both Armored and Rapier will match the Pennsic scenerios. A tournament to 
determine the baronial champions in both heavy and rapier combat will occur on the 
23rd, as will melees upon his Majesty's discretion. For more information contact 
the MiC, His Excellency, Baron Raven MacGreggor (sickpup at excite.com) or RMiC, 
Lord Antonio (webminister at black-diamond.atlantia.sca.org). Black Diamond also 
invites the archers, throwing weapons and other combatants to Assessment, as 
a range will be provided to hone your skills in preparation for war. For those 
wishing to have pavilions on the edges of the list fields, please contact the 
autocrat at bdchatelaine at yahoo.com. Preference will be given in order of OP 
and first come, first served. There will be a chirugeon on site who is willing 
to help apprentices for this event. For more information!

helping with the chirugeonate, please contact Lady Anne la Settere at 
quotku at yahoo.com. Waterbearers are also welcome.

Arts & Sciences:

This yearâ€™s A&S theme is the myriad ways we hide the modern and how to stay 
cool at Pennsic War. The best way to hide the modern will have three 
subcategories; cloth, metal, and wood. Prizes will be given for Periodacity 
(Peri-audacity). Is that a sheep in camp or a cooler in sheepâ€™s clothing?

Documentation is strongly encouraged for both categories.

Works in progress will be welcome in all competitions and there will be a 
small token for the work in progress folks would most like to see done by 
Pennsic. Please contact Aislinn at forsair at yahoo.com or 540-557-7036 for additional 
information. 

Also there will be a dessert contest to be judged by those attending Queen's 
Tea. So bring your desserts and see who can best tempt the delicate palates of 
the flowers of Atlantia. For more information, please contact Rosemary Teas
