[Populace] Fwd: [FighterPractice] Winter Brawl

Thu Nov 16 10:09:50 EST 2006

 This was sent over the fighter's list and so I would pass it on here for the everyone; Mainly for the fighters since it is an indoor tourney for novice and those who have been doing it regularly.
Hopefully, I'll see some local fighters there.

Winter Brawl
February 17, 2007

Come join the Households of Serpentius, TOAD, and Wilmot along with
the Barony of Iron Bog in celebrating the art of hitting other people
for fun! We have planned a day of indoor fighting, fencing and
feasting to be held at the Cherry Hill Holiday Inn.

*Heavy Weapons Fighting:* There will be both a novice (fighter
authorized for two years or less in the SCA) and a regular double
elimination tournament. What's the fun of winning a tournament if you
don't get a cool prize? Duke Ronald Wilmot has graciously provided a
stainless steel bascinet! Lest we be accused of not encouraging the
kinder virtues, a prize for "most chivalrous" will be awarded as well.

*Fencing:* There will be both a novice (fencer authorized for two
years or less in the SCA) and a regular tournament. We have prizes
galore for the fencers as well, including a Darkwood Armory ring
dagger!

*Youth Fighting:* We have also planned youth fighting activities so
that they can be encouraged to follow in their elders footsteps.

*Arts & Sciences:* The gentle ladies of the house will not let us
forget the skill of the artisans so in honor of them, an arts &
sciences display is planned with a prize for populaces' choice.

*Merchanting:* There is room for merchants as well. If you intend to
merchant, please contact the co-autocrat to reserve your space. Space
is *extremely* limited, so please make arrangements early!

*Feast:* As the event is in a hotel conference center, we are limited
to food catered by the hotel. A feast of salad, sliced sirloin with a
wild mushroom demi glace, herbed grilled chicken, penne in a rich
blush sauce, starch or vegetable, rolls and butter, dessert, coffee,
tea, and iced tea.There will also be a light day board of deli meats,
cheese and bread during the day, which is included in the site fee.

*Event Fee: (includes the day board)*
· Adult member: $15
· Adult non-member: $18
· Youth member (Ages 6 to 13 years): $8
· Five and under are free

*Feast:* $15/person. Feast reservations must be paid in full by
February 1, 2007. *Reservations not paid in full by this date will not
be honored*. As it is a hotel, they will provide all dishes and linens
so no dishes to wash-up afterward! For those who prefer not to attend
the feast, there is a small restaurant on site as well as numerous
restaurants nearby. *As the hotel has a bar on site, you may not bring
any alcohol into the ballroom, though it is allowed in the guest
rooms. All alcohol drunk in the ballroom must be purchased at the bar
on site.*

*If you intend to fight in either novice tourney, please preregister*.
