         Join Lochmere as we celebrate turning 21! Who Hoo- does this mean
we are legal? Archery, Heavy Fighting, Rapier Music and Hands on Arts! We
have so much to offer this weekend, please join us and play.

For the heavy fighters: the day¹s fighting will consist of four single
elimination tournaments fought with each the following weapons styles:
weapon and shield, two weapon, great weapon, and pole arm. The Kingdom Earl
Marshal has granted a request to experiment with a day authorization so
fighters may fight in all the tourneys.  Weapons and appropriate armor will
be available to those fighters who wish to compete.  Fights during each
round of each tournament may be fought either in the open field or at a
barrier.  Fights may also be fought to the death or three counted blows.
The overall winner of the tournament will be that fighter who performs the
best in all four tournaments.  Lochmere¹s Baronial Heavy champion will be
that Lochmeri who performs the best in all four tournaments.

For the Rapier fighters a Rapier Triad Melee Tournament. This will start
with fighters receiving tactical instruction from Master Alan Gravesend,
Provost and THL Giacomo Vincente, Provost. After instruction, and practice
teams of three will fight in a Tournament to determine the best triad. Their
Excellencies, Baron Dominick Elphinstone, and Baroness Margery Winterbourne
will be choosing their new Rapier Champion after reviewing the days
fighting. 

 An archery shoot and Arts and Science activities will round out the day¹s
competitive events. A&S activities include a Bardic competition Saturday
evening around the fire circle, both period and Filk; and A&S competitions
including but not limited to: ³best item from the 14th c.,² "something made
of cloth that is small, fun and could be period,² and "something preserved."

 An Artisan¹s Row is planned, please contact Mistress Caitlyn
