<td width="100%"><font size="4" face="Lucida Sans">There will
be a heavy weapons list fought for the ownership of the Shire's sheep herd.
Sheep will be placed on the field of battle to be snatched up by the quickest or
deadliest of fighters. Each fighter must safely see their flock of sheep to
pasture or forfeit them in the event of an untimely death. A fighter may be
resurrected at the cost of one sheep to their slayer. At the end of this timed
battle the fighter with the largest herd shall be named Sheep's Champion. This
lucky fighter will be rewarded with this fine Battle Axe for his hard work:</font></td>

Scottish hammer and caber toss (rock and log), and a Men-In-Kilts leg contest to
be judged by members of the Amazon Household. An Art & Sciences competition
and Mid-day tea is being sponsored by Lady Agrippina Argyra. There is no
theme for the competition so please bring out your latest project. There
will, however, be 10 extra points given for any Celtic entry. Please
bring documentation. A&S Champion will receive this gorgeous (if I
do say so myself) wood-burned and hand painted plaque:</font></td>
