[Artemisia] BSK Arts and Sciences Competition and Rapier Tournament

[VLJ1930 at aol.com]

Barony of Sentinels' Keep
Arts and Sciences Competition and Rapier  Tournament

War is over! (…at least for another year?) As our fighters  make
their way home and slowly nurse their wounds and heal their  aches;
consorts, family and friends entertain themselves with  various
projects of the arts and sciences nature. Many days (and  nights)
have been filled with spinning and weaving, hammering and  polishing,
scribing and painting, boiling and baking, stitching and  b-----ing…
(blush)

Now it is time for all clans, tribes and families  to come together in
the valley of the Keep on the banks of the Five Rivers to  celebrate
the coming of SPRING.

It is time to be PROUD and display the  fruits of our labors. It is
time to proclaim one among us as "Champion of the  Arts and Sciences
of the Barony of Sentinels' Keep"! Everyone is welcome to  bring A&S
items to be displayed and judged but only a member of the  Barony will
be declared `Baronial Champion'. Anyone wishing to become  the
Champion must enter a minimum of 4 entries from 2 grand categories.
We  will follow the Kingdom of Artemisia rules and judging criteria.
But be  cheered… there will also be "Overall Champion", "Populace
Choice" and  "Novice" awards that are open to all. And wait… there's
more! There will be  special prizes too! (Contact MoAS for more
details, forms, etc.)

It is  also time to be entertained by the prowess and cunning of those
who practice  the art of the duel and rejoice as one is
proclaimed "Rapier Champion of  Sentinels' Keep"!
ALL are welcome to enter!

Challenge from the  Reigning Champion…

Let it be heard throughout the kingdom and the world;
Spring Feast Holds  the Baronial Rapier Champion Tourney and I, Senor
Diego de la Mar, the  current reigning Champion of The Barony of
Sentinels' Keep, Challenge one and  all with the guts to lift steel
and show what sort of courage runs through  their veins to attend that
it may decided who will reign for one year as my  rightful successor.
As the Champion I am granted the right to decide the new  tourney and
thus I have decided to reveal the format of the contest not  until
those who would reign present themselves upon my battlefield,  as
surprise is my prerogative. If you would know, if you would seize
the  day and make it your own, I'll be there waiting.
~Senor Diego de la  Mar~

It is time to feast and to bring your best and tasty dishes to  share
with the appreciative populace. We may not proclaim you a  `Feast
Champion' but we will claim you `Friend'! (See Feast  planning
information below)

It is a time to barter and purchase lovely  items brought from far and
wide for our now legendary `Arts and Sciences  Auction' and also from
our supportive and clever vendors. Thank you in  advance for bringing
your generous donation of items suitable for use in the  SCA. (And
don't forget your money pouches either!)

But all may not be  as quiet and restful as one may wish for…be
forewarned!  And please, do  not stray too far from the baronial enclosure…
