<DIV align=center><B>A Day at the Races II: Race to the New World<BR>Barony of
Ponte Alto<BR>November 12, 2005<BR>Falls Church Presbyterian Church, Falls
Church, VA<BR></B></DIV>
<DIV>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.
<BR><BR><B>The Races:</B> 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 </A><A

href="http://pontealto.atlantia.sca.org/datr.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.
<BR><BR><B>A&S Competitions:</B> 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. <BR><BR>Artisans! Bring your active displays and projects! It will be
a great opportunity for people to learn and have a hands-on experience.
<BR><BR><B>Dancing:</B> There will be dancing in the afternoon under the
direction of our Dance Coordinator, Lady Allasan bhán inghean Fhaoláin.
<BR><BR><B>Feast:</B> Master Tirloch of Tallaght is planning a sumptuous feast
featuring some of the delights brought back from the journeys. Contact Master
Tirloch with any dietary concerns (tirloch AT ravenstreet.org). </DIV><!--
