Greetings are sent to the patrons of the Merry Rose from Lady Adrianna de
Bretagne and the populace of the Barony of Black Diamond.

I just wanted to reinterate that there will be heavy and rapier fighting in
the form of a traditional three-man melee tourney at Ice Castle this
weekend.

We also will have children's activities during the day, a scrumptuous feast,
and dancing.  There will a post-revel following the event that evening, and
a fighter practice (heavy, rapier, and archery) Sunday morning.  Prince
Stephan will be attending Sunday's fighter practice on the Virginia Tech
campus.  Directions will be provided for the post-revel and fighter practice
at the Gate.

If you have not already sent reservations, we strongly encourage you to
email Cortesa at tesa@vt.edu.

Also, for your reading enjoyment, here, again, is the event flyer:
