Silver Chalice
(2010-09-10 - 2010-09-12 - Site opens at 5 PM & Closes at 10 AM)
Hidden Mountain
In Hidden Mountain, we are celebrating! Join us for an exciting weekend of fighting, feasting and revelry as we celebrate the 18th Silver Chalice! With the change of the season, it is time once again to test the mettle of our fighters and see another novice leave those ranks for the ranks of winners. But there will be fighting for the more experienced fighter, too. Heavy and Light tourneys will challenge your skills throughout the day. Martial Activities: There will be the traditional novice tourney (open to anyone who hasn’t won a tourney!)and a double elimination tourney for the experienced fighter alike for both heavy and rapier categories. Target Archery and Equestrian competitions will also be offered.
Arts & Sciences Activities: For the less martially inclined, there will be an open category- novice and experienced A&S competition with a theme of Love, both courtly and romantic. An A&S competition for Open, scrolls & love tokens (favors). Novice A&S will be defined as a field of study practiced less than 1 year. After feast, we will have dancing and a Bardic Competition, hosted by Baronial Bard Lady Maddelena Valeta (MKA Amanda Franks). The theme is love. She can be reached at zombiellama93[AT]att.net for additional information

Cost Notes: The Society has increased the Non-Member Surcharge to $5.00 beginning July 1, 2010, and this is reflected in the Non-Member Price. There is a Bed & Breakfast on site with limited availability, first come first serve, so book early! These rooms are $75.00 per room, per night. Most rooms sleep 4, some sleep 6. Some rooms have private baths attached, most share a large bathroom for 4 rooms. There is no restriction on adding your own cots or air mattresses in the rooms, if you wanted to split costs further. These room fees are not marked up in any way. However many rooms we use is how much the Barony pays to the site owner. Therefore, we regret that we may not discount these room prices in any way except to suggest sharing. Please contact the reservationist for additional details. As restaurants and supermarkets are a good way\'s away from the site the Barony will have an open tavern providing meat pies, cheese, fruit and drink for lunch at a cost of $5 per meal.
