As the snow melts and the ground thaws our borders are once again
in jeopardy. Far off lands have sent word that the Celts are on the
move and headed this way. The Celts are revolting and our baron is
calling for blood and mayhem in defending our fine
barony.

The Barony of Wealdsmere would like to invite one and all to come
and enjoy war scenarios, Baroness’ Brine Delicacies Contest,
a great archery range, scavenger hunts, classes, Viking prom,
A&S competition, siege cooking, filk songs, the choosing of
this year’s baronial champions and much, much
more.

Wealdsmere is once again proud to accept the hospitality of HL
Michael of Lancaster, Sergeant. Come and enjoy his glorious Tower
and surrounding perimeter walls for Heavy and Rapier siege
enjoyment. We also have the use of the adjacent property belonging
to the Department of Natural Resources.

Calling all merchants! Calling all merchants! As spring approaches
event season starts. The Barony of Wealdsmere is once again excited
to host Celtic Revolt and we are looking for merchants to come and
sell their wares. The merchant fee for this event will be an item
to use as prizes/largess. If you would like to merchant or have any
questions please contact our merchant coordinator Andy Williams at
CelticRevolt@yahoo.com, include
merchant in the subject line, or the event steward Kayte Blackwell

competition

Heavy Champion tourney

Rapier Champion tourney

Arts and Sciences champion competition

Documentation of your project is required – it doesn’t need to be
overly fancy, just what your project is based on, how you did your
project, and any period information you might have about it.

There will also be a brief oral presentation to the judges about
your project. I know not everyone can write – when you get some
people talking about their project, they just draw you in and what
they tell you about their project is just magical. Also, this will
be good practice for anyone interested in working toward Kingdom
A&S in the future.

Finally, Dame Juliana has agreed to provide feedback to any
contestant who is thinking about competing regionally and at
kingdom A&S in the future about what things they can do to
improve their projects and competition skills. This is NOT required
for anyone.
