St. Paddy's Day Bloodbath/March 11, 2006
Banners of the North! Weep! 

You shame your noble King with your  winter's lethargy. While Atlantia's foes 
tilt at rings, you have wintered by  your hearthsides growing soft on rude 
tales and mulled wine. 

Enough!  Arise and shake off the rust of these past frigid months. Sound the 
battle horn  and muster again. Let all the banners of the north fly and fan 
our hearts to  acts worthy of song. 

The Barony of Ponte Alto is proud to present a day  that will be sure to 
satisfy even the most bloodthirsty fighter. 

We will  host our annual St. Paddy's Day Bloodbath on Saturday, March 11th. 
This is event  is a fighter's dream, featuring our usual bearpit tourney and as 
many pickups as  you can stomach. Remember, This is for both light and heavy 
fighters, however  this year we will also be adding youth combat to the 
schedule! Light fare will  be served, and is included in the site fee. Lunch will be 
served by by Countess  Denise Duvalier and Lady Branwen Bach.  Lite Fare will
