                Greetings all!  Just a quick reminder House Arkham plans 
  to sponser what is becoming an annual activity during our 
  Steppes' 12th Night celebration, the "Feast Crossbow & 
  Table Top Seige Competition"!
   
  This is a contest which appeals to the child within each 
  of us at all ages and if you have yet to attend this most 
  entertaining contest you have really missed one of the 
  little gems of Steppes' 12th Night!  So please plan to 
  come an join us for this extremely fun and delightful 
  competition!
   
  The contest is currently planed to start following the 
  "Royal Huntsman Tournament" as soon as the mini 
  target range can be set up.  Sign up shall begin at the 
  close of the "Royal Hunysman Tournament" as soon 
  as our "List Babe" volunteers deem sign up is open.
   
  2006 CONTEST RULES:
   
  The competition is open to small hand held or table top 
  devises constructed for the purpose of hurling small bits 
  of food stuffs (marshmallows, grapes, cheese cubes, 
  veggies, etc.) which can met the following conditions:  
   
  1) All devises must be declaired one of two categories:  
  "Hand held" - those meant to be fired while held in the 
  hand (so called "baby", "feast", or "mini" crossbows).  
  Or "Table top" - those meant to be fired while sitting on 
  a flat surface (so called "baby, "feast", or "mini"  
  trebuchet, ballisita, or catapult)!
   
  2) All feast devises must fit within a sixteen inch feast 
  platter (circle) to enter!
   
  3) All string & prod powered feast devises (crossbows 
  and some ballisita) may not exceed a draw of eight 
  pounds!
   
  4) All devises must be capable of firing grapes as ammo.
  All ammo (grapes only) will be supplied by the contest 
  sponsers.  No other projectiles will be allowed!
   
  5) All contestants must demonstrate to the attending 
  marshals that their "feast devise" is safe, in good working 
  order, and they can operate it in a safe & sane manner! 
   
  6) All contestants must compete in the competition 
  using one "feast weapon" only!
   
  THE COMPETITION:
   
  - All contestants must lesson for their names to be 
  called, absent contestants will be rotated to the end of 
  the list once and only once!  Should a contestant be 
  declaired absent a second time when their name is 
  called they will be stricken from the competitors list!
   
  - All contestants shall be allowed to pick twelve grapes, 
  six for ranging & practice shots, and six for scoring 
  shots.  Any grapes which fly to pieces upon firing do 
  count as shots, so pick your grape shot well!
   
  - The competitor with the highest recorded score at the 
  completion of the list shall be declaired the winner of the 
  contest!  
   
   
  We're looking forward to having a very good time and a 
  lot of laughs during this year's contest!  Please take 
  note, plastic sheeting or a good washable cloak might 
  be advisable!
   
  Regards,

  Supervising "Feast Weapons" Marshal  
   
  PS:  Almost forgot, (shameless plug coming) should 
  you wish to compete but not have time to make your 
  own baby crossbow, Iron Angel Forge still makes and 
  sells the prefered style for $20 (cheaper than I could 
  make it myself).  You can check out their web site at:
  http://www.ironangel.com/feastcrossbows.html .  
  Shipping runs about five dollars so you're looking at 
  about $25 total, they do not accept credit cards so if 
  interested you will have to send a check or money 
  order but there should still be time before this year's 
  contest.  Good luck!
