Greetings unto the populous of the Barony of Thescorre and those of the known world.

It is time once again to decide upon champions for their Avian Excellencies. War is approaching and our present champions have done their duties. So come join us as we hold tournaments to showcase the abilities of the populace so that their Excellencies Aquila d'Athos and Bronwyn nic Gregor may choose new gentles to represent the Baron and Baroness and the Barony of Thescorre in the coming year.

Competitions will be held for the championship positions, including Rattan, Fencing, Archery, Thrown Weapons, Arts and Sciences, and Bardic.

A lunch side-board will be provided. The lunch cook is THL Bryn ni MacRose; bryn@thescorre.org. Please direct any dietary concerns to her.

Dinner will be a pot-luck with the traditional theme of Pie. Bring your pies to share. Sweet, savory, crusted, or crust-less. Some attempt at period pies would be appreciated, but is not required. Please include a recipe card so those who have allergies can avoid if necessary. The "Pie" coordinator is Ysabelle Reynald (Susan Briggs); susan.briggs@live.com; 585-236-1062

Following dinner, there will be a Bardic circle around the campfire. Those wishing to become the new bardic champions will be given an opportunity to perform at this time, while others are welcome to participate after the new champions have been chosen.
