SITE BOUNDARIES: The site boundaries will not be
marked. The area to the west and south,
over the berms, is protected wetlands and definitely off
limits. There is also moving
water bordering the site. It’s not terribly fast or deep, but
appropriate precautions should be taken. Please observe the
geographic boundaries.

The north and east edges of the site
are delineated by the walking trail that surrounds the area. The
walking trail, however, goes behind the archery range and there
will be caution tape to close access. There will also be caution
tape to close access to the road and walkway to the barns. The old
dairy barns are off limits per the site owners. If you are outside
the boundaries you are no longer on SCA rented property and are
trespassing.

*Please follow the site rules to help us make
sure this site is available for future events.

Being a Consort

Have you ever been asked to be the
consort of a fighter and then thought to yourself “What do I do as
a consort?”
 
Now is your chance to ask that and other questions of the
kingdom’s Ladies of the Rose (LoTR)  and the Ladies of
Valorous Estate (LoVE).
In case you don’t know, these are the past Queens and the
Princesses of the Principalities (or of An Tir when we were a
Principality).

Please join us at July Coronation on Saturday evening at
5:00pm for the LoTR/LoVE Invitational
Tournament.
We will watch the tournament together and many of us will be
on hand to answer your questions and share with you what we’ve
learned as consorts.
Come help us encourage all the unbelted fighters who
have been invited to participate in the tournament.

The Creatively Comical Cod-piece
Contest

Create a historically accurate
(anachronistic) cod piece from any time and location in SCA period
in any medium (metal, fabric, etc.) Imbue your cod piece with a
special function. Some suggestions include but are not limited to:
sound making, light producing, dispensing of food or other items.
The choice is yours. Documentation in the form of a historical
image (portrait, illumination, museum collection photo) is strongly
encouraged. There will be a processional of pieces so wearablity is
a plus. There will be prizes for most authentic looking and most
hilarious.

Greetings from the Bards of An
Tir!!

Good
Gentles!!
Just a reminder of our contest!
Announcement to all Scribes of An Tir…
An informal charter painting contest will be held at July
Coronation this year!
As encouragement to all our scribes to paint more Kingdom Charters,
so that their Majesties may have as many as they may need (as their
reign is quickly drawing to a close) to give out to those well
deserving of our populace. Scribes of all skill levels are welcomed
and encouraged to participate. Four certificates of award will be
given, one winner each in a category of beginner, intermediate, and
advanced, and one Crown favorite.
**We are encouraging those entering to bring charters already
completed, as space and supplies to paint will be limited
onsite.**

“Full site cries will go out on a schedule set by the
herald in charge. If you have business for a cry, you must see the
herald in charge at Herald’s Point 30 minutes prior to a scheduled
cry going out.”
