Greeting one and all, 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 Eric and Katja may choose new gentles to represent them in the coming year. Competitions will be held for almost all of the championship positions, including Fencing, Archery, Thrown Weapons, Arts and Sciences, and Bardic.  In addition, the current heavy weapons champion will be designing activities for other fighters to enjoy throughout the day. Lunch will be provided.  Dinner will be a pot-luck with the theme of Pie.  That’s right, Pie.  Bring your pies to share.  Sweet, savory, crusted, or crust-less.  Some attempt at period pies would be appreciated, but is not required.  If you have questions or concerns regarding the dinner, please contact Collette de Paris at Collette at Thescorre dot org.  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. Gentles are welcome to camp out Saturday night at no additional charge.  Campers may be asked to wait until after the days activities to set up depending on dimensions of tents.
