Join the Shire of Myrtle Holt for our Ancestral Remembrance
Celebration. What is the Ancestral Remembrance Celebration? The
A.R.C. is a chance for anybody to join us to gather and celebrate
the lives of those within the Society that we knew personally who
for one reason or another are no longer with us on our journey
through life.  A.R.C. is a day meant to be a celebration of
life, full of fun and games, tourneys and competitions, and other
such frivolities capped by a potluck feast, and finally an evening
of bardic offerings commemorating our fallen friends.  We pay
special attention at this event to providing lots of entertaining
activities aimed at pleasing the youths of our families at all
ages.  We want our SCAdian children to have an event that they
really enjoy going to. Tentative list of activities planned for
this year’s ARC event: Myrtleholt Heavy Defender Tournament, Ronald
Hawkwood Single-Sword Tournament, Myrtleholt 2nd Annual  Shire
Archery Championship, the 2nd annual YAC Castle Diablotin Defender
Tournament, The Tir Taingiri Estate Autumn Hunt (equestrian

Myrtleholt 3rd Annual Archery Championship
This year we have a very special and fun championship put
together.  Based on people’s interest and
excitement over the Tir Taingiri Equestrian Hunt that has been a
staple of this event for the last few
years, we’ve decided to incorporate a walking hunt as part of the
Championship this year.  Fortunately,
this will involve less walking than doing a York Round as we’ve
done in years past, but do be prepared
to walk at least a 1/2 mile for Part 1 of the
Championship. 

Championship Part 1: Tir
Taingiri Estate Pedestrian Hunt  (Starting 10 AM Saturday)
Archery Championship entrants will have a
chance to do a ground-based hunt shoot at about 1/4 of the
targets
that will be used in the Equestrian Hunt in the afternoon… PLUS
additional targets specifically for the ground archers on
the second half of the walking hunt course.
