Rules for

  Defenderships (although we admire your
  prowess).
• The Defender may not compete to
  win two years in a row.

  livery in a reasonable manner and return it at next year’s Defender
  tourney. If tailoring or repairs are needed please let us
  know.
• The Defender will help plan
  next year’s tournament.
• The Defender agrees to attend
  the following years Defenders Tournament to relinquish the livery
  and title.

Rewards:

  Defender’s to wear for the year he/she is the Defender.
• The Defender will be granted
  free entry to any event the Shire of Mt. Edge sponsors or
  co-sponsors for the year he/she hold the title.

Hearted at auster(at)onlinemac.com, in advance, if you plan to

current Defenders to design this year’s fighting
scenarios.

Directions to Site:

From the North: Take 99W through
Newberg towards McMinnville. Turn left onto Highway 18. After
passing the 99W exit, turn left onto Durham Lane. The Heritage
Center is on the right. (It is on the corner of Durham Lane and
Highway 18 – Three big buildings with rusting farm equipment out
front.)

From the South:  Take 99W
towards McMinnville turn left on Durham Lane (if you get to the
city proper you have gone too far.) Go down Durham Lane until you
see the Heritage Center on the left. (If you get to Highway 18 you
have just passed it).

banner on the entrance door.
