Spring Crown Tournament and Kingdom A&S Activities

Activities for this event -- beyond the Kingdom A&S Faire on Saturday and the Crown Tournament on Sunday -- include dancing, archery & thrown weapons, pick-up fighting for armored and rapier, youth activities, A&S classes, meetings, merchants, a lunch tavern on both days, and a feast on Sunday night.

Populace A&S Viewing
Populace viewing of Kingdom A&S entries will be on Saturday between 11:00 am and noon while the entrants are away at the Judges and Entrants Meeting. We ask that you please respect the hard work of the artisans - do not bring food or drink into the display areas, and do not touch or move the displays while viewing. You may, of course, leave tokens for any entries you admire and such tokens are appreciated by the artisans, but please place them in a way as to not disturb the displays.

SCA 50 Year Video History Project
We will have a booth set up for people to record short videos about their SCA experiences. The videos collected will be used as part of the Historic Display at the SCA 50 Year Celebration June 17-27, 2016 in Indianapolis, Indiana, and on its associated YouTube channel. We want to collect the stories of people who represent the wide range of participants in our Society. No matter what your age, rank, or length of time in the Society, you are invited to share your experiences with us and with the attendees at the 50 Year Celebration. Please contact THL Elizabethe Alles (lady.elizabethe@gmail.com).

Day Camps
There will be some limited day-camp space available on both days (particularly if there is good weather - lots of outdoor space!). If you would like, we encourage you to bring a nice day-camp with period furniture, banners, etc. Please hide as much modern material as possible. Food and drink are allowed at day camps in the gym if you put a rug underneath the area where the food/drink is stored, served, and consumed -- otherwise, please take your food and drink to the cafeteria.

Heraldic Volunteers
Are you interested in helping to herald the lists and assist with other areas of service to the heraldic aspects of the tournament so as to get a closer look at the field of list heraldry? If so, contact Herr Alexander Adelbrecht von Markelingen directly at Alexander@HausAdelbrecht.net.

Crown & Kingdom A&S Musical Entertainment
Anyone is welcome to come play with us and add atmosphere to the event. Master Aaron and Mistress Jadwiga will have sheet music for sight reading. Please sign up at http://vols.pt/4L82o4 if you'd like to play.

Photos of Combantants and Consorts
To commemorate the wondrous occasion of Kingdom Crown Tourney, Their Royal Majesties Ragnvaldr and Arabella would like all Consorts and Combatants to participate in having a photo taken of them before the Tournament begins. Please arrive early (9:00 am) and present yourselves to the photographers located in Room 11/History room.

A&S Classes & Meetings (on Saturday in the Band room):
10:00 am - Bidding the Bedes: Introduction to Paternosters (THL Elizabethe Alles)
In the 13th-16th centuries in western Europe, prayer beads were a ubiquitous accessory. This class discusses the history and development of the paternoster, as well as information on making your own replica. Kits will be available to make a glass or bone paternoster. Kits for 15 students, $5 each. Auditors welcome.

11:00 am - Cartridge Pleating 101 (Lady Bianca Cantacouzene)
There are many ways to make cartridge pleats and in this class you will learn one way. A small kit will be available for in-class practice. Class size is limited to 8 participants.

12:00 pm - Calf-to-Codex (Master Johannes von Narrenstein)
"Calf-to-Codex" is a project to create a medieval book from the ground up. This project is like the one that made the Great Booke more than twenty years ago. The theme is the Midrealm. The goal is to complete the project by the SCA 50th Anniversary, which the Midrealm is hosting. All sorts of help is needed – from growing flax and making thread, to bookbinding, to parchment making and preparing ink and paints. In this session I am recruiting scribes and illuminators, and will be explaining their tasks. I will have two sets of signatures (parchment and paper) ready to assign.

1:00 pm - Exchequer Meeting (Lord AElfric Greensword)

2:00 pm - Crown Tournament in the MidRealm (Mistress Claire Fitzwilliam of Lynnwood Keep)
Learn how Crown Tournament is run so you can better understand tomorrow's tournament. What is required by Kingdom law, what is longterm custom, and what can the Royalty change.

3:00 pm - Pelican Meeting

4:00 pm - Laurel Meeting
