Greetings to all area Bards, Skalds, Jonguelars, Troubadours, etc.

The Wiesenfeuer Baronial Bardic Championship will occur at Baronial this
year
... scheduled for Labor Day Weekend.

The competition will probably take place Saturday afternoon (August 31st,
2002), and will be broken into two (2) rounds ...

First Round ... a piece (your choice of style) that you have never performed
before an SCA audience.

Second Round ... a "showcase" piece (your choice of style) that lets you
shine your brightest. The "showcase" can be something you have already
presented to an SCA audience, or not ... your choice.

As last year's winner, I will be among the judges, but I will not compete.
(I could be encouraged, however, to tell a tale or two ... c'mon, twist my
arm. That's enough!)

The winner, of course, will receive all the regalia, honor, etc., that the
title can bestow. And ... if last year's competition was any indication ...
there will be some hard decisions for the judges to make. I'll have a few
special gifts for the runners-up, because they certainly deserve some
recognition, too.

I hope to see you at Baronial, and look forward to hearing some wonderful,
wonderful work.

Gwilim the Mummer
