Arts and Sciences
competition

For a War Point: Arms and Armour repair, each household will bring
a weapon (SCA Legal) or a piece of Armour (SCA Standard) to A&S
Point FRIDAY night.
Saturday morning they will all be numbered and each household will
draw a number to decide which piece you will repair, you may get
your own piece back if you choose that number. If you are not
present I will choose for you. You have until Sunday 10 am to
return the pieces repaired.

For a War Point: A&S Contest: Something related to war. This
can be a thing or a research paper. Things related to war include;
clothing, food, lighting, arms and armour, archery, personal
accessories or anything you can justify, schtik is good. There is a
prize for the winner as well.

For a War Point: Childrens A&S Contest: Parents please
encourage your childern to enter. There is no theme, any object is
acceptable, minimal documentation is suggested. A one page written
or typed explaination of the object; where, when and how it was
used, and how the child made it is wonderful. There will be a small
prize for each child entering. There is a prize for the winner as
well.

And one more! Best use of personal device in non banner form: You
must be the one making the object, It must have your device or badge and
the heraldry must have already been passed or under submission. For
Proof of that we will accept OSCAR notifications. Any object that
you can think to decorate with your heraldry EXCEPT banners or
pennons or guidons are acceptable. Arms and armour are allowed and
encouraged as well as any non marshall item.
