Join Their Majesties Jason and Gerhild as they Invest our new Baron and
Baroness of Lochmere.

20 years of Twenty years ago, on the fields of Pennsic XVII, the shires of
Myrkwood and Airendale were formally united into the Barony of Lochmere by
their august Atlantian Majesties, Dafydd and Elizabeth. In celebration of
that glorious day, we invite you to attend our baronial birthday where the
eighth Baron and Baroness, Margery and Dominick, will be invested and take
on the responsibilities of leadership.

The weekend¹s activities will have something for just about everyone. For
the fighters, heavy and rapier, there will be a Bedford Points Tourney,
where the weapons form will be chosen at the beginning of each round.
Archery and Arts and Science activities will round out the day¹s competitive
events. For those inclined towards less strenuous activities, there will be
a trivia quiz covering the history of Lochmere, various A&S displays (see
below), and of course performances by Lochmere¹s music groups.
 

A fabulous feast will be prepared by Lady Christiana (CC Suggs),
