Nottinghill Coill

In honor of the upcoming Holiday Season, the Barony of Nottinghill Coill invites you to join us in celebrating Yule Toy Tourney VIII – A Viking Yule.

As the Yule Season approaches, many of our thoughts will turn to family and friends. In this time of joyous celebration, we should all remember those that may be less fortunate than ourselves. In the spirit of the Season, we are proud to be sponsoring Country Santa again this year by gathering toys for the children and families of our Barony. The toys will be given out to children by the Country Santa organization to help make the Yule season bright for everyone! Check out countrysanta.org for more information about this worthy cause!

For our overnight guests we have rooms that come standard with bathrooms that have showers and heat or air conditioning as the weather requires. The rooms are dorm style and sleep from 6 to 12 gentles. Linens, blankets and towels must be provided by guests. There are only 64 beds available so get your reservations in early.
The event cost is one new, unwrapped toy per person!
(Participants in Martial Activities and A&S Activities are asked to donate 1 additional toy per activity entered.)
Room cost is $15.00 per person for the weekend.
Feast cost is $10.00 per adult, children 7 years and younger who join us for feast are guests of the Barony.

For more details and updates, please refer to the “Yule Toy Tourney VIII” Facebook Event Page, where you can find regular updates and post any questions.

Last year the generous folks attending this event donated over 800 toys to Country Santa. Let\'s make the Yuletide happier for LOTS of youngsters!
