SR - Elfsea Defender IMPORTANT NOTICES

[Arabella de Montacute]

Greetings unto Ansteorra's populace 
>From Lady Arabella de Montacute, 
Steward of the 20th Anniversary of Elfsea Defender,
	First, let me apologize for multiple postings, some of this information 
is very important, I wish for everyone who has the opportunity to hear 
the words.  
	(A shameless plug first..)  The 20th Anniversary of Elfsea Defender is 
this coming weekend, September 25th, 26th, and 27th!  We have a great 
event planned.  I hope all can attend.  Lists will run for Heavy, 
Rapier, and Archery competitors for the chance to represent Elfsea as 
our Defenders.  Wonderful prizes and original Scrolls will be awarded to 
the tourney winners.  Our different Culture Camps, Burgundian, Celtic 
and Norse, are a great place to savor and experience other cultures.  
Several very exciting acknowledgements will happen during court, as well 
as other Court business, and fabulous parties in the evenings.  
     Sunday there will be a Newcomers List for those who have fought 
heavy for less than one year.  And the very best, The Gauntlet.  This 
tourney was to take place at Gothic War, and was rescheduled for Elfsea 
Defender.  Honourable Lady Kathrine de Laine will be sponsoring this 
list and has donated a terrific hand and a half great sword.  (The best 
reason to stay and fight is the opportunity to win this beautiful 
sword.)  The list will be run as follows: Everyone will line up in two 
rows facing each other.  Each fighter will fight all other fighters.  
Each fight will last for 3 minutes, points will be scored - 2 for 
victory, 1 for a draw, 0 for loss.  At the end of round one the top 50 
percent fighter scores will advance to the next round.  List will 
continue in this fashion until only 6 people remain to a double 
elimination, and victor.  

Now Other Very Important Stuff - Particularly Fire and Water:

1. - THE WATER WELL ON THE SITE HAS DRIED UP DUE TO DROUGHT - PLEASE 
BRING WATER.  Two shower stalls will be provided for camping shower 
bags.  
2. - The site is WET in period containers, Please.  
3. - ONLY COOKING Fires permitted in ground fire pits (12 inches deep) 
or secure above ground containers with fire extinguisher in view.  
Unattended fires will be extinguished. 
4. - WELL-SECURED Tiki Torches ARE allowed.  
5. - NO PETS - other than assistance animals and must have written proof 
of Rabies Vaccination - sorry, site owner specifications.  
6. - Kingdom Law: Children under 18 will not be allowed on site without 
a parent or guardian. You must be over 21 and have a NOTARIZED 
permission slip signed by the parent/guardian if you bring children who 
are not your own.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  
7. - Children are not allowed on the porch of the Brown's Store or in 
the RV area play ground.  An adult must attend children at all times.
8. - There will be a tavern on site serving breakfast, lunch and dinner 
on Saturday.  (There is a rumor that an ice cream vender will be there 
on Saturday afternoon.)
9. - At this time there are 13 venders requesting space, shopping should 
be good.  

For your convienence the following is the schedule as it is planned
