Greetings to the good and gentle folk of the Merry

not appear in the March Acorn. This event is
considered official by the Chronicler's Office. A
seneschals mailing will be going out in the next
day or so to help correct this error. The flyer is

Please spread the word that this is an official
event to all those who may not be electronicly
connected. The event flyer is included below for

Mar 27th - Ladies' Day Tourney
Barony of Dun Carraig, King George, VA

The Barony of Dun Carraig invites all good Gentles
to attend their Ladies' Day Tourney, to be held in
the Crown Lands adjacent to the Barony's southern
border. There will be fighting for heavy weapons
and schlager beginning at 11am. For those inclined
to more genteel entertainment, there will be an
A&S competition and dancing throughout the day and
into the evening.

The Tournament: will be a three-part competition
to include Best Poem, Best Favor, and Best Heavy
Weapons/Best Schlager fighter. (1) Poem: Each
fighter
must compose and read an original poem in honor of
the one who inspires them. (2) Favor: Each fighter
must have a favor created for him or her by the
one they fight for. As these take time to create,

three-man team Bear Pit heavy and schlager
competitions. Bring a team or pick-up one at the
