[Ansteorra-announce] A Day in Sherwood - this weekend!

[Melissa Baxter-Kosub]

Tidings came to brave Robin Hood under the Greenwood tree
“Come prepare you then my merry men we'll go yon sport to see.”
Forth from the Greenwood they are gone with hearts all firm and stout
Resolving then with the sheriff’s men to have a hearty bout…
-- “Robin Hood and the Golden Arrow”

Come one and all who have skill with bow and swordsmen who would see 
justice done in Nottingham! A grand contest of the bow will be held in 
Sherwood and as Robin’s men will undoubtedly contend the sheriff’s men 
will not be far. Armed skirmishes are sure to break out!

The Barony of Bjornsborg invites you to enjoy a Day in Sherwood. The 
morning’s activities will include novelty target archery shoots in both 
target and combat archery forms. A luncheon feast will be served 
followed by an afternoon of melees for both heavy weapons and rapier 
fighters in the woods and in the open field. Heavy weapons melees will 
include combat
archery. This will be your last chance to get in some melee practice 
before Gulf Wars and your last chance to be authorized for GW combat 
archery. As the day wanes a Bardic competition will be held. Prizes will 
be awarded to the best target archer the best combat archer the best 
bard and the person who best exemplifies the spirit of Sherwood. A war 
chest will be filled to be divided among the victors of the melees.
