Nottinghill Coill
The Barony of Nottinghill Coill
invites you to join us in celebrating
Yule Toy Tourney 2016 in the fashion
of the Ancient Romans. Saturnalia was
the winter celebration of Saturn, the
god of the sun and harvest season and
a time of peace. 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 joyous for
everyone! Check out countrysanta.org
for more information about this worthy
cause! The cabins are 6 person
cabins, with individual bunks and 2
inch thick mattresses. Electricity is
available in each cabin, and the
heaters work VERY well. Cabins are
6 person cabins, with beds and with
very efficient heaters. Windows all
have blinds on them The event cost is
one new, unwrapped toy per person!
Martial Activities: Armored fighting Will be the usual fun with 4 maybe 5 weapon discipline specific tourneys and a final tourney with champions of the 4 disciplines (WS, DW, PW, GW). Spear will be a separate tourney if enough interested and time permits. The tourneys will be round robin unless more than 6 contestants, then it will be a single elimination tourney best 2 of 3. As traditional bring a toy for any discipline you wish to enter. Rapier fighting will consist of a standard Round Robin Tourney, a C&T Tourney, a Blacksword Tourney, and in honor of Saturnalia - a Gladius tourney (single weapon, blade must be 30\" or less).
Archery will also be available.
Arts & Sciences Activities: There will be a Roman themed A&S competition sponsored by our Baronial Artisan. To enter please donate a toy. Prize will be a Gladius. Documentation required. Only stipulation is that the item entered must be of a Roman nature during any of the times of their expansion.
