Baronial Arts and Sciences Championship
At this 20th anniversary of the founding of the Barony and with a new Baron and Baroness, it is time to celebrate. The Arts and Sciences Champion's competition will be held at the Masque of Courtly Love in Alderford. The challenge is to create something that celebrates the Barony of Brendoken. It can be in any medium but should use period materials or reasonable substitutes. Documentation is helpful but not required. However, entrants must include an explanation of how your entry celebrates the Barony. Their Excellencies are the final judges of this competition so may you be creative and productive in your entry. ~ Mistress Arwenna
Baronial Bardic Championship
(Time 12:30 pm)
Who will be the next Bardic Champion for their Excellencies the Baron and Baroness of Brendoken?
Tell us about your persona in story or song. (Not more than 5 minutes). Also entertain us with a sonnet or two limericks (family friendly). There will be a tavern set up in the populace room and you will be the entertainment. ~ Lady Milisandia
LARGESSE DERBY
This Derby will focus on items newcomers need, such as pouches, belts, cups, sewing kits, or anything you think would help a newcomer. It is a dirty 1/2 dozen, which means the following: Each competitor should donate 7 individual items for Largesse. These can be 7 of all the same item, or 7 items on a common theme. More than 7 items will of COURSE be welcome, though more than 7 items will not get “extra points.” (6 would be a half dozen; 7 is what makes it “dirty.”)
As our Baron and Baroness travel across the lands of Brendoken and beyond, largesse should be: -easily transportable -not easily breakable -not quickly perishable -representative of the skills and generosity of Brendoken.
Largesse does NOT just have to be things you’ve made yourself - they can be purchased items as well. Largesse items should have a “look-and-feel” representing our modern middle ages, but do not need to be exclusively period-informed. They can also be mundane items of use to those of us involved in the SCA.
You do not have to be present to win.
All Largesse should be tagged in a method that would not be easily torn off through normal packaging and transportation with the:
-donor’s name
-home barony or shire
-and if needed, a description of the item and any possible allergens/ ingredients/materials
Winner will be determined by a bean count.
Honorable Company of Embroiderers (Middle Kingdom embroidery Guild) will be meeting at the end of classes around 4pm, location: somewhere easy and out of the way of moving parts for court ^_^
