[Ansteorra] Seawinds Defender Oct 26-28th This Weekend!

[Autumn Selby]

Greetings Ansteorra!

Don't know what to do this weekend? Come to Seawinds
Defender and your sure to have a wonderful time!

The Shire of Seawinds invites you to join us as we
choose our next defenders in the fields of chivalric,
rapier, archery, arts & science, and bardic.

We have planned a Middle Eastern themed event that is
sure to please! 

HL Eleanor Elizabeth Caley is serving up a fabulous
middle eastern evening feast - served in proper
Persian style while lounging on the ground with
pillows. Breakfast and lunch will also be provided and
are included in the site fee. 

Breakfast will be prepared by the Company of the Sable
Ram and lunch will be a period and non-period soup
competition. Seawinds will provide the breads and
fruits to go along. If you would like to bring a soup
or stew, please visit the website for details. In
Seawinds, you NEVER go home hungry!

The competitions: There will be two victors chosen
from each field. One will be our next Defender and one
will be declared the populous favorite!

Lord Brian of the Loch has created a fabulous rapier
tournament.  The rapier tourney will be run in three
sections. The first part will be a single elimination
tourney. The second part will be a half hour "Battle
for the Holy Lands" Bear Pit. The third part will be
"Trade Road Raiders." The three winners from each part
will then meet in a Round Robin Final. 

Lord Madog of Glastonbury has prepared an entertaining
chivalric tournament. The tournament will progress in
several rounds.  Test your mettle against the outgoing
champion, fight challenges at the barrier, and join
together in a snowball melee that will pit the
Crusaders against the Moors!

Enter in the A&S competition. All levels of experience
are encouraged to participate!

Archery has been canceled and will be held at our
spring event.

The bardic competition will take place during feast.
Bards are also encouraged to perform for the ladies'
pavilion that will be set up alongside the tournaments
during the day.

Come join us for classes in the afternoon. We will be
teaching a Cordials class, Lucetting class, Equestrian
Toys class, and a Vocal Heraldry class. Please consult
the website for schedule and details.

The fun will last well into the evening as we
transform the feast are into a Hafla with fire,
drumming, and good company. 

Site fee is $15 with all-day feast included.
The site is wet in period containers.
