<div class="MsoNormal">This year we sent out invitations to all the Seneschals of
the Cantons, Shires, and Baronies of Ansteorra inviting their populace to this
event. We want the weekend of May 11th through the 13th to be a very special
weekend because this is the weekend that we all honor our Mothers and what
better way to show off in front of your Mother is there than hitting others
with sticks or poking others with sharp pointy things and becoming one of out
new Champions.<br>
<br>
I also urge all to attend The Final Court of Their Majesties Aaron IV and
Amelot and the Coronation and Premier Court of Their Highnesses Hrafn II and
Elizabeta II this weekend, we will be there. For more information please see
