The Barony of Bjornsborg will be hosting a mini-tourney on July 19.  We've had
this planned for more than 2 months now.  It's format is  preparatory for the
Touney d'Amor in October.  Sir Emrys should be back from England by the end of
the month.  Contact him if you'd like to see about making this more "regional"
than "mini".

Tournaments for both heavy and rapier are planned.
