fighting, feasting and revelry as we celebrate the 18th Silver
Chalice! With the change of the season, it is time once again to test
the mettle of our fighters and see another novice leave those ranks for
the ranks of winners. But there will be fighting for the more
experienced fighter, too. Heavy and Light tourneys will challenge your
skills throughout the day.<br><br>Martial Activities: There will be the
traditional novice tourney (open to anyone who hasn’t won a tourney!)and
a double elimination tourney for the experienced fighter alike for both
heavy and rapier categories. Target Archery and Equestrian competitions
will also be offered.<br>Arts & Sciences Activities: For the less
martially inclined, there will be an open category- novice and
experienced A&S competition with a theme of Love, both courtly and
romantic. An A&S competition for Open, scrolls & love tokens
(favors). Novice A&S will be defined as a field of study practiced
less than 1 year. After feast, we will have dancing and a Bardic
Competition, hosted by Baronial Bard Lady Maddelena Valeta (MKA Amanda
Franks). The theme is love.

There is a Bed & Breakfast on site with limited availability, first
come first serve, so book early! These rooms are $75.00 per room, per
night. Most rooms sleep 4, some sleep 6. Some rooms have private baths
attached, most share a large bathroom for 4 rooms. There is no
restriction on adding your own cots or air mattresses in the rooms, if
you wanted to split costs further. These room fees are not marked up in
any way. However many rooms we use is how much the Barony pays to the
site owner. Therefore, we regret that we may not discount these room
prices in any way except to suggest sharing. Please contact the
reservationist for additional details. As restaurants and supermarkets
are a good way's away from the site the Barony will have an open tavern
providing meat pies, cheese, fruit and drink for lunch at a cost of $5
per meal.<br>Feast: A sumptuous feast will be prepared by Baron Eric
Norton of Helsfjord and House Drunken Moose. Direct dietary concerns to:
