Lochmere Baronial Birthday

Lochmere

The weekend’s activities will provide interest and fun for just about everyone. For the heavy fighters a Pas D’armes; for the Rapier fighters Lord Brian de Morray has devised the scenarios. An archery shoot and Arts and Science activities will round out the day’s competitive events. A&S activities include a Bardic competition Saturday evening around the fire circle, both period and Filk; and A&S competitions including a best item from the 14th c., “something made of cloth that is small, fun and could be period,” and there will be a brewing competition. An Artisan’s Row is planned; please contact Mistress Caitlyn (caitlin_ennis@yahoo.com ) if you are interested in participating or have any questions. There will be performances by Lochmere’s music groups. We will also be holding a “clear out your unneeded SCA items” sale, commonly known as “Lochmart.”
