Unto the rapier fighters of Ansteorra, herein discover an invitation to the
Queen's Champion's Tournament of Her Most Royal Majesty, Octavia de Verdon.
This grand tournament will be held at the Burkburnett Community Center, in
Burkburnett, Texas, on July 24,1999.  As a  result of Her Majesty's concern
for Her valiant rapier fighters, the tournament will be fought indoors in a
spacious and well-cooled hall.
Being a noble lady and most concerned with the well-being of Her subjects,
Her Majesty wishes to encourage in Her rapier community the attainment of
the seven virtues:   Humility, Generosity, Chastity, Kindness, Abstinence,
Patience and Zeal.  Naturally graced with all the virtues to which Her noble
subjects may only aspire (although, in her modesty, she denies such
accolade), Her Majesty has let it be known that She would welcome any
displays by the fighters of these virtues at the tournament.  She will take
note of those combatants exhibiting such virtues during the day.
There will be no feast served at the tourney, but an extravagant sideboard
will grace the hall during most of the day.  Their Majesties will sit in
state for a period of two hours during the day to greet Their populace,
receive fealty and conduct such business as is not required to be conducted
at Their Court.  Such events as presentations and other personal business
should be planned for this allotted time as Their Majesties wish to keep
Their court as brief as possible.  Court will begin promptly at 6:30 (or one
hour after the tournament is over, whichever occurs later).
Alas, when the evening falls, the virtues so well loved by our Queen may
falter when the vices (known to some as the seven deadly sins:
pride, greed, envy, anger, lust, gluttony and sloth ) creep in on the wings
of darkness.  If you can, be strong!  Come dressed as your favorite virtue,
or if you are but a weak vessel, your favorite vice, to the Queen's Ball,
which will begin at 8:30pm and continue until 10:30pm.  Much merriment will
be had by all, whether virtuous or venal.
For those who feel the need of more nourishment than will be provided in the
extravagant sideboard, there are many establishments in Burkburnett that can
satisfy any craving.  If you wish to set up your tents and pavilions and
stay overnight, there is a KOA campground located about 1 1/2 miles from the
site.  Should you prefer to rest in the cool comfort of an inn, Wichita
Falls is just 15 minutes away, with a wide selection of such inns and
hostelries.   Her Majesty looks forward to greeting Her rapier community at
Her Champion's Tourney!!
