A Day at the Races II: Race to the New World
Barony of  Ponte Alto
November 12, 2005
Falls Church Presbyterian Church, Falls  Church, VA

1550s Spain: Christopher Columbus may have been the first to journey to the  
New World, but these days it seems every explorer worth his salt is either  
looking for or holding letters of marque to carry them to a place called the  
Americas. They have high hopes of bringing back riches and glory. Ponte Alto  
wishes to commend Spain for its vision to sponsor the first voyage to this  
wondrous new land. Therefore, we have planned a day of Feasting and Celebration  
in honor of Spain and the intrepid explorers who followed Columbus' lead.  

The Races: The race is on and we could not sail to the New World  without 
ships! We will be holding ship races to commemorate the occasion in the  form of 
"rain gutter regattas." (The "seas" will be 10 feet of rain gutter  filled 
with water. Check the event webpage for 



_instructions and rules regarding boat  construction_ 
(http://pontealto.atlantia.sca.org/datr_rgr.php) , or contact Baronne Belphoebe  de Givet (baroness 
AT pontealto.atlantia.sca.org).) Bring your ship and try your  luck. Get 
creative! There will be a limited number of "rental" ships of various  qualities 
available to those sailors who do not have one, courtesy of Lady  Delphina's Used 
Ship Emporium. There will be two sets of races during the day -  one for 
adults and one for youth - and there will be a prize for each.  

A&S Competitions: There will be a prize for the most creative  ship entered 
in the Races. There will also be a prize for the most historically  accurate 
ship. The latter does not have to be entered in the rain gutter  regattas. 

Artisans! Bring your active displays and projects! It will be  a great 
opportunity for people to learn and have a hands-on experience.  

Dancing: There will be dancing in the afternoon under the  direction of our 
Dance Coordinator, Lady Allasan bhán inghean Fhaoláin.  

Feast: Master Tirloch of Tallaght is planning a sumptuous feast  featuring 
some of the deligh_ts brought back from the journeys. Contact Master  Tirloch 
with any dietary concerns (tirloch AT ravenstreet.org). _
