Okay, it took me a while, but at the bottom of this is an Emerald joust
all text anouncement. Also, we have already done one Seneschal mailing,
so bug them for a copy of the flyer, and we will be doing another one in
about a weeks time that will include the various tournament rules, as
well as the A&S competion information and a few more other tidbits of
info.  Anyway, here ya go

good gentles to competition both marshal and fair.  Come to the rolling
hills of Maidens , Virginia for chivalry, song , dance, and an all around
good time! Join us for 4 days of fun and festivities!

For those of  a competitive nature, there will be many different
challenges to whet the appetite, For Arts and Sciences minded people, a
Curriculum Vitae will be held in the feast hall. For heavies, there will
be a one hour grand melee, follow by the Emerald chivalry tourney.  
There will also be a Rapier tournament, as well as a test of skills for
the archers of the kingdom. All this will be followed by a fine, gourmet

relic competition. For the relic competition, the Kingdom of Atlantia
challenges all Households, Shires, Cantons, Baronies, and College's to
produce a piece of their past for the viewing of all. These relics can be
anything, from a suit of armor to a rock hard loaf of bread,  as long as
there is a colorful tale or display to relate the relics importance in
the groups history...but please, people do not qualify as relics. For
martial activities, there will be an Emperor's choice tourney ( more
rules and information to come). For Rapier, the Queen's choice
tournament. A camboc tournament ( yes, with teams and such)  will be held
for the enjoyment of those in a team sports frame of mind, as well as a
