Food on Sticks
Class
description: Food on Sticks: Easy period recipes for foods
cooked on a skewer over fire. We will cook cheese and bread,
grilled mushrooms, meatballs, roasted apples and play that
“absurd game of cooks”, Eggs on a Spit. Students get to eat what
they make. Please inform the teacher of any food allergies or
sensitivities.
What students should
bring: We will be cooking over open flame,
so an apron, oven mitt or leather gloves will be handy;
long hair tied back or covered, avoid long trailing sleeves.
Bring a chair, a plate and a beverage or a cup for water. Minors
must be accompanied by an adult.
Cooking over a fire
Class description:
Cooking over a fire: Come prepare some easy medieval recipes cooked
over a fire in period pottery. We will also learn a simple and
quick bread recipe cooked in a Dutch oven. While the Dutch ovens we
use today are not totally period, we can use them to imitate a
period method of cooking and baking bread over a fire.
What students should
bring: We will be cooking over open flame,
so an apron, oven mitt or leather gloves will be handy;
long hair tied back or covered, avoid long trailing sleeves.
Bring a chair, a plate and a beverage or a cup for water. Minors
must be accompanied by an adult.
Knitting
Class
Presented by Lady Sabina di Zorzi
This will be a basic ‘knitting in the round’ class to get
you started on any number of period items, from basic bags to hats
and socks. There we will have some information on period
knitting available and some yarn (non-period) for those that need
it, as well as home-made wooden needles in case you don’t have your
own to use during the class. You are welcome to purchase them for
$2 if you would like to keep them. If you have advanced
knitting questions, feel free to ask those as well!
Spoon Carving
Class
Presented by HL Thorbjorn Inn
Mikligerzki
He will be teaching his spoon
carving class to students at his merchant booth! He can teach
one or two students at a time, so bring your leather gloves and
good hand strength, $2 for the spoon blank and the written
materials, and stop by his booth to sign up for a time slot. He
will provide the carving tools for you to use during your session.
He has taught this as an Ithra class, so if you would like to get
credit for it, speak to the local Ithra Chancellor, HL Elewys of
Finchingefeld at karen@ostheller.net.
Persona
Tea

persona! Please bring your feast-cup to fill with your choice

All Champions
Contests:
Bardic Arts
Championship
There is still plenty of time to get your performances ready and
your documentation written up for the Aquaterra Bardic
Championship. The championship contest will be held
on Saturday June 29. The honor of a champion is great
and the required duties are small.
Those that wish to compete must send a letter or e-mail message to
the Baron and Baroness of Aquaterra and the current Bardic Champion
declaring their intent to compete for the position Aquaterra Bardic
Champion.
The format of the competition will be:
Three performance pieces:
- Two pieces must be fully documented to SCA period with a
minimum of one primary reference. - The third piece should be at the very least SCA appropriate
(this includes filk and original pieces) but does not need to be
documented. - One of the performance pieces should have some element of humor
or comedy.
Competitors will be required to provide printed copies of their
documentation for each of the three judges.
If you don’t know where to send your email letter of intent to
compete or have any other questions contact the current Bardic
Champion (nigelofcompton@gmail.com). Email addresses for the
Baron and Baroness are baron@aquaterra.antir.sca.org
and baroness@aquaterra.antir.sca.org
Arts and
Sciences Championship
OBJECTIVE:
The main point of the discussion criteria for the submitted project
is for the creator to be able to discuss not only the total project
and use, but to be able to know what the lineage of a specific
material, knowing its original source, who produced or processed
the material, the value of the material and the difficulty in
acquiring that specific material for use in the presented
project.
Each submission must have the following criteria.
Item(s) will be related, however creatively, to horses – per Her
Excellency’s whim. This can mean anything from actual horse
equipment, to a good yarn.
Objects cannot have been entered into an A&S competition
previously. Judging criteria on workmanship, artistry,
documentation, etc. will follow Kingdom A&S competition
standards- see this link for the Baronial judging forms: HERE
Discussion should include a brief mention of the details below:
A) How the object would have been used in period
B) Who would have owned the object
c) Object entered may be unfinished, if construction time is
lengthy
D) Describe at least one item that inspired the project. It can be
something that is similar to your object, from a “cousin” culture
and time period (within a 100-year range).
E) What materials were used and how it was constructed
F) Where and when at least one of the construction materials would
have been found in period and what it would have “cost” to obtain
(rough estimate from your research)
Example> gold fittings may have cost as much as a horse or raw
wool may have cost a duck at the local market in the next town.
G) Would the materials used to create the object have been found in
your country and time period? If not, where would the materials
been found during your time period? What is the likelihood this
object really existed? Where and by whom would it have been
made?
Letter of Intent to compete deadline is June 15th to allow time to
seek the judging panel.

Baronial
Rapier Championship
Unfortunately, Aquaterra Duelist Champion, Lord Sebastian von
Aterdorff will not be able to attend the Champion’s Tourney this
year. He did create the outline for this year’s competition and HL
Vredric Utgar die Wild has graciously agreed to run it for Their
Excellencies. Utgar requested that I post this for all to see! This
will be one of many championship competitions at this year’s All
Champions held at the Masonic Family Park, June 28th through
30th.
If three or more Duelists are present to compete, let them all
practice and warm-up with a round robin or a period of pickup
matches. At a specified time, all are to assemble at the designated
place. Since by nature a duel is a one shot deal then this shall be
as well. Some manner of “drawing straws” will determine the first
to challenge another to a duel. The defeated is now a spectator. Of
the remaining, including the previous victor, straws are drawn
again and again there is a challenge and a duel. This continues
until there is but one left. ****
Each duel is a kill shot only match, no arming or legging. Each
duelist will bring to the duel their choice of equipment (dagger,
buckler, empty hand, etc). A double kill is exactly that and both
are out. Should this happen in the last duel so that no victor
remains, all duelists are revived and the process starts over.
Should one duelist remain after a double kill that had not yet been
challenged, then that duelist is the Champion because clearly all
others were afraid to challenge him.****
Should only two duelists arrive to compete, either a single duel as
described above or a best of 5 or 7.****
Baronial

Baronial Youth
Armored Combat Championship
The All Champions Tourney is scheduled for the Sunday of the Boars
Hunt/ All Champions Weekend. The qualifications for the
Baronial Championship are posted below this write up, so please
read this over carefully for there are some specific items that
might affect those youths currently in the YAC program. I bring
this up not to try and dissuade anybody from entering the tourney,
but to make sure they understand that this is different from a
normal tournament.
I will address one item in particular. Youths from all three
divisions are welcome to enter the tournament, however, the
Baronial Champion will be chosen from the Dragon Division only for
reasons of duty and responsibility.
For those who wish to enter, please inform
me of
your intention after sending your letter of intent (email) to the
Baron or Baroness, (this is so I have a good idea of who will all
be attending).
If you have questions regarding the letter of intent, please let me
know.
Please find below the specific requirements and format for the YAC
Tournament.
COMPETITION FORMAT
a) The entrants must attend morning court the day of the tournament
and be prepared to present themselves to their Excellencies along
with the other competitors when they are called forth for the
invocation.
b) The entrants must present themselves to the YAC Warden following
court the day of the tournament to declare their intentions to
enter the competition.
c) The entrants must have a parent or guardian present at all times
during the competition.
d) The entrant must pass armor inspection and have a clear
understanding of the rules of combat as set forth in the An Tir
Book of Youth Armoured Combat.
e) It should be understood that youth champions, as opposed to
adult champions, may not be considered officers of the SCA and
shall have no corporate responsibilities.
f) The tournament will be fought in a round robin format. All
combatants will be allowed to fight each other at least once. At
the end, the two combatants with the highest ratio of wins to loses
will fight in a separate “finals tournament” the format being the
best two out of three.
g) The “Finals Tournament” will be a best out of three
separate bouts. In the past, theses competitions have each
featuring a different set of weapons; Sword & Shield, Great
Swords & Glaves. However, I will give the two finalists a
choice as to which weapons they would like to use in the Finals
bout.
Please Note: If used, the Great Weapons will be supplied to the
combatants but it is expected they will bring their own sword &
shield.

Equestrian Championship
Their Excellencies
Steinolf Ketilsson and Sineidin inghean an Bhiadtaigh, Baron and
Baroness of Aquaterra, are pleased to announce the Equestrian
Championship of the Barony of Aquaterra. Like last year, this
competition will be in the form of a quest, which officially begins
at Aquaterra’s All Champions/ Boars Hunt (June 28-30,
2013).
Scores
from any equestrian contest
held at any SCA event in the
Knowne World will count towards the total accrued score (including
those which occur between the date of this announcement and the
official invocation at All Champions/Boars Hunt). Competitors will
need to get the Equestrian Marshal in Charge (EMIC) to verify their
placing in the event, the event name/date, and the number of
competitors, as this is part of the scoring calculations. Scores
for the Championship must be submitted by Friday September
20th, 2013 and the Equestrian Champion of Aquaterra
shall be announced and inducted during Evening Court at Banner
War.
Scoring
Information:
Competitors

the SCA:
1st place= 5
points x the number of competitors
2nd= 4 x #
of competitors
3rd= 3
points x # of competitors
4th place=
2 points x # of competitors
5th place=
1 point x # of competitors
1
Point for every event competed but not placed in
Just like in
archery, the competitors score will be based on an average of their
top three scores – this means that every candidate will need
to compete in a minimum of three equestrian competitions, but the
greater the number of events, the better the chance for a good
score.

must be paid members of the SCA, Inc.
· All entrants
