The Shire of Appledore to invites you to

Midsummer in Appledore

Midsummer is the venue for two exciting events compressed
into one weekend. Appledore Championship, and our annual
Feast in Fellowship.

Appledore Championship:

The theme this year is: The Hunt

Championship Candidates must declare their intentions at
Saturday morning opening ceremonies. 

 

Appledore is unique in choosing an all-round champion,
competitors vie for points in 6 categories;

 

a) Armored combat-

b) Rapier Combat-

c) Archery-

d) Arts-

e) Science-

f) Bardic-

 

Each category is open for all to compete, each championship
candidate is scored on a scale from 1-6 points. The candidate
with the most points at the end of the event is named
Champion for the next year.

 

The champion has some responsibilities to the Shire for the
year.

 

1) Represent the Shire at every opportunity, be proud of the
championship and show it.

2) Assist the Shire with all events, as much as you can.

3) Learn the history of Appledore.

4) Advance your own knowledge through, practice and effort,
of the SCA and the period

of your persona.

5) Facilitate the next championship selection at the next
Midsummer in Appledore.

 

This year the overall theme of “The Hunt” has been chosen.
Here is a breakdown of the categories;

 

)The Hunt;

 

a) Armored combat- A simple round robin tourney for the
enjoyment of the encampment

The actual format may change depending on number of fighters
present.

 

b) Rapier Combat- “Even hunters don’t
always get along”- A round robin style tournament. Watch for
some fun scenarios to get the adrenaline flowing

 

c) Archery-elimination shoot- 3 Arrows each-Starting at 5yrds
each competitor shoots 3 arrows at a 3D target. Shooters who
hit in the “vitals” move back 3yrds and shoot again. Shooting
continues until only one shooter remains. Watch for some fun
shoots to get the adrenaline flowing

 

d) Arts-Create a “piece” of artwork the would have been used
or made by hunters in your personas time period

 

 

e) Science-“Traps and snares”- create a method of capturing
small game or birds that could have been used in “period”

As you can see these categories are very broad. Competitors
