	On 27 March 1999,  the Shire of Border Vale Keep will be hosting an
event for those that just can't get enough fighting.  Heavy weapons will be
done in a "Bear pit" with a twist. Winners of each fight will be awarded 2
points, Losers will be awarded 1 point,  and an additional point may be
awarded by the Marshal for any impressive action that takes place on the
list field.  So even if you lose you can win.  Fencers will be competing in
a "Triple elimination progressive weapon" tourney.   Archers will have a
chance to improve their skills and start on the new season IKAK scores.
Prizes will be awarded for 1st  place in heavy fighting,  fencing and top
score for archery.   Wooden Goblets made by Lord Connor MacFergus will be
awarded to winners of heavy fighting and fencing and a Quiver for archery.
There is cabin space available for 40 people and plenty of camping space.
The site is discreetly wet.    All reservations must be postdated no later
than 20 March 1999.   Authorizations will start at 12:00 and fighting will
begin at 1pm.
	There will be an Arts and Science competition with two categories,
Open and Fighter accessories.  1st place in each category will also receive
Wooden Goblets.
	During feast a Bardic competition will be held. All Bards are
welcome to entertain our guests in the feast hall with songs, stories and
dance.   Each guest will be given a token to present to the bard of their
choosing. During the dessert course, Bardic competitors are invited to
circulate through the hall to collect tokens from their admirers after all
performers have finished. The bard with the most tokens will be declared
the winner.
