[Bethany Burke]

PLEASE PARDON THE MULTIPLE POSTS
 
Greetings to all,
     This post is to remind everyone of Crossrode Keep's upcoming event , July 22nd-24th.  Please mark your calender's now.  There will be heavy fighting, light fighting, A&S, archery, Knife Ax and Spear, bardic, and several children's sctivities.
     Just to have a little bit more fun during these heavy and light tournies, there will be a few added attractions.  First, all fighters must have someone that they are fighting for.  This person must be over the age of 14 and not entered in the tournament themselves.  I do appologize to the couples that fight together for this inconvienience.  It would just be very hard to pull this off if you ended up drawing each other for a bout.  This person you choose will be handed 2 small beanbags to be thrown during your bouts to help you win by landing a killing blow with this projectile weapon.  Each person with beanbags is only allowed to throw from a 2' x 2' square from opposite corners of the list feild.  Only 2 bags may be used per person for the entire tournament excluding last round.  The last round will be the last 4 fighters in an everyone for themselves battle of the best 2 out of three.  No bean bags are allowed in the last round.  I am in need of Marshals, inspecting marshals,
 and a list mistress.
     The A&S competition is a no documentation required, by populace vote competition.  Also we want to recognize our future artisans in our first Children's A&S competition.  Same rules as the adults only artisans must be no older than 14 yrs of age.
     The childrens activities, as of yet, include:  drum making, drumming, banner making, and story time.  If you are interested in passing on any of your skills to our youth please contact me off list and I will do what I can to accomodate you.  I would love for this event to have enough activities to last all day, without 1 person having to be stuck with them all day.  Let's teach our children where they can fit in our society because they are our future.
     Bardic will be a no themed, by populace vote, competition.  It will be a 2-4 peice competition depending upon participation.  A fun Bardic for no real title will also be done this year.  Be prepared to think fast on your feet because the entire competition is improvisational.
     Archery shoot is a target shoot...still working out the details.
     Knife, Ax, and Spear...need I say more.
     Also this year Lady Simone has asked to coordinate a bardic symposium.  If you are interested in teaching something please contact her at simonemu at gmail.com .  The site is wet in period containers.  The event will be held at the Sweetwater Lake Park (old Gothic site).  Further details will come as the event gets closer.  Thank you for bearing with me and reading this long announcement.
