[Ansteorra-announce] Mendersham Defender May 12-14

[Elaine Starkey]

Come to the West and join us in our quest for the next Mendersham Defender!

Pray, Good Gentles, come out to a weekend in the Western Region of our fair 
Kingdom, and join us in Mendersham's search for our next Defenders!  There 
shall be both Heavy and Light Tournaments.  Can you defeat all comers?  Or 
try your luck at the Royal Hunt with Thrown Weapons.  Can your skills 
provide meat for the table?  Bring your best and proudest piece to our Arts 
and Sciences competition.  Open theme, no documentation required.  Voting 
will be done by the populace.  Perform your best or your new or just your 
favorite Bardic piece for the populace in the evening.  We hope to top the 
evening with drummers and dancers.
Site opens at 4pm Friday, and closes at 12 noon Sunday.
It has been raining here, and the site is green.  The mosquitoes are also 
out, so be sure to bring your bug spray.  It looks to be a lovely weekend 
for being out of doors, wearing your summer garb, beating on your friends 
(or watching them getting beat on), throwing pointy things, showing your 
projects and artistic endeavours,  entertaining around a fire, and visiting 
with your friends.  There will be children's activities.  Lady Ysoulde 
(George) is cooking a traditional Western Ansteorra feast featuring brisket, 
cole slaw, potato salad for 50.  Site is wet, period containers, please. 
Pets are welcome on a leash.

There are electrical and water hookups.

Gothic Site).
