Gentles be
welcome!  The
Shire of Danescombe invites you to our annual
Tournament of Roses: a day dedicated to the
honour and grace of our inspirations.

 

Join us in Danescombe, Saturday February 12^th for
a day devoted to chivalry, honour, and the power of
inspiration. The Shire will host tournaments to determine
both Rapier and Armoured Defenders through their prowess in
arms, and the grace and honour of their inspirations.
 Both
tournaments will be preceded by a grand processional, in
which fighters will enter bearing the arms of their
inspiration, and present themselves and their inspirations to
the populace. 
The winners of the tournaments will be heralded as Defenders
of the Shire, and their Inspirations will be honoured for
their role in inspiring the Defenders to their victories.

 

The Shire will be offering a light lunch free of charge to
all those who attend the event.

 

Following the day of tournaments, the Shire will also host an
evening of revelry! Join us for a potluck feast, dancing and
games as we celebrate our new Defenders, and share our
hospitality with those who journey from afar to celebrate
with us.

 

If you are journeying from out of town and require crash
space, please contact the Event Steward.

Danescombe’s Hospitality

The Shire of Danescombe has come together to offer its
hospitality to our friends from other shires. A number
of our shire members have offered up crash space for those of
you journeying from afar, so there’s no need to worry about
the cost of a hotel for the weekend. The shire is
providing a light lunch at the event, again, free of charge,
so there’s no need to worry about packing your own, or dining
out if you’re visiting. AND, the tournaments will be
followed by a pot luck feast! Again, the shire will be
providing a large “one dish” contribution, to supplement the
contributions of those who won’t have access to kitchen
facilities prior to the event. It promises to be an
excellent event, and a wonderful chance to reconnect with
many friends we haven’t seen in several months – just what we
all need, during the long winter months.

Please contact me if you are in need of crash space, and I
will be happy to put you in touch with one of our generous
shire members. A pot-luck coordinator will also soon be
posted, to aid in directing you if you need suggestions, and
to keep track of the proposed contributions if you know in
advance what you’d like to bring.
