Light a candle and greet the new calendar as we host 
the 30th Anniversary of this wondorous event here in our Shire. 
Indoor combat aplenty will decide the new champions 
for the year ahead in both the armored and rapier arenas. We will also have 
a new Bardic champion chosen during dinner. 
Activities will include heraldry, games and 
classes for children and adults, and 
socializing with new and old friends from near and far. We will be 
graced with the presence of Crown Prince Daman and 
Crown Princess Veronique, who may ask for Court time at their 
leisure. 
Bring your coins for a fun and exciting and 
never before seen Kingdom fundraiser from your 
local and Kingdom heralds. Any funds raised will go towards the Kingdom 
Herald's office for new reference material. It has been a decade since 
any new books were purchased.

Feast will be 
taken from the pages of Platina, so a Roman bounty is to be 
expected from the best cooks our Shire has to offer. 
We expect that the tables will be filled with hungry folk around 6:30 p.m. 
Feast will accomodate 80 people, please contact the Head Cook to make 
Reservations.
Feast 
reservations would appreciated by December 10, 2012, pre-payment not 
required. Please make any checks out to the Shire of 
Bronzehelm, SCA, Inc.

Feast Menu will be available,

class. She will have kits for sale - $20 - that include enough materials for 6

purl stitch and the different patterns created using knit and purl stitch 
combinations. In order to provide the attention needed to beginning knitters, I 
would like to keep the class size limited to 5 people. Supplies: 1 pair of 
knitting needles size 6 - 10. 1 skein of 4-ply yarn in a light color so you can
