tournament and bring a prize for the prize table.
Barony of Lions Gate Rapier Defender

of the lists
The victor this day will serve as Baronial Defender and as
such must fulfill the duties of this rank over the next
year:
- When present to join the Baron and
Baroness at court - Represent the Barony when traveling to
other branches. - Attend the three major local events –
Banquet, Baroness’ Birthday, and May Bardic - Compete in the name of Lions Gate over the
next year - Swear fealty to their Excellencies of
Lions Gate
Gerhard’s Riposte Rapier
Tournament
Criteria for the Riposte has
changed as we no longer use fibreglass weapons. Our new
criteria for entry into the Riposte is to be unauthorized, or
authorized for less than a year, have a patron to recommend
you as well as be accepted by the Master of Blades, who will
be advised by attending White Scarves. Questions about
the tourney format can be directed to our Master of Blades,
Warwick. This is an accolade style tourney.
Archery
Tournament
The
Archery Tournament in the Evening will be structured in a
similiar manner to the Unbelted Heavy Tournament. Entrants must challenge
and shoot against a Goose during the tournament and bring a
prize for the prize table. Tourney will last for about one
hour of shooting. Winner will be determined by who wins the
most matches. Tourney is limited to handbows
only. If the weather is good, we will also set up
a range outdoors for royal rounds however the long range forecasts
are not looking good at this point.

SCIENCES: Many
of our Barony’s talented individuals will be sharing by
either display or interaction their most amazing
abilities. Here’s what is currently in store for you
to enjoy
Carus plans to do a reprise of
his steam-driven dragon that he first showed 6 months
ago. He has apparently improved it, and would like to
show the result of his” New Improved Mark II
Vapouroboros”. He says, “As before, it’s
a semi-static display, that I start up and then (hopefully)
runs on its own for a few minutes. It involves fire – a
candle or two, sometimes smoky, going on inside the thing’s
head. Please be mindful of any barriers put up for
safety reasons.
Cordova has offered a display of Icons of
Roger, Geoffrey and maybe Gerhard with candles, flowers
etc. or an active display of some steps in
painting.
Kate will be
conducting a ‘hands on’/’drop by’ wax carving
demo/display/experience. No artistic talent
required.
: natural dyeing display. Naturally dyed
silk and wool, displayed with materials used in period for
dyeing.
John will be
displaying – and likely teaching – his highly famous
Kumihimo and stick weaving.
have something you would like to share, feel free to notify
the Autocrat to ensure for space available and for feature
billing here or just bring it along to the
event.
DRIVE – Given our current economic situation,
we are running a food drive for the food bank. Please
bring your non-perishable donation to gate. The
donation to the food bank will be done in Her Excellency’s
name.
are needed, of course. Setup/Take down, voice heralds
and marshals for tourneys, waterbearers, lists, gate, pied
piper and probably a few other things that escape me at the
moment. If you can help in any way PLEASE email
the Autocrat asap.
