Eric's 20th Anniversary Tourney

Does anyone remember where sheep stealing started?
The day is to mark Eric's 20th year in the society, and on the day will run a sheep stealing teams melee in the barony, the day the sheep fear the most. The Baron's and Baroness' champions face off for their corresponding coronet in a teams melee. Single handed weapons (no flori), the off hand is used to carry the sheep, with each team having one deemed goalie who can carry a two hander (sword glave), with the idea of carrying the sheep over the opponents goal line and earning a point for their baron/ess and the sheep. The rules may change during the day or in each individual bout at the marshal's/ B&B's discretion. Lots of fun!!!
When: Sat 22nd August, Event starts 12pm, Armour Inspection 12:30, Event closes 4pm.
Where: The old training grounds behind the Adelaide Zoo, War Memorial Drive.

Baroness' Championship - Marshall Boucicaut Memorial Tournament

Good Gentles, let it be known that on the 18th day of October AS 44, the honour of serving the Baroness of Innilgard as her Champion shall be contested in martial combat.
As befitting this occasion, the tournament format shall be in remembrance of one of the most celebrated chivalric Champions of the Middle Ages, Marshal Jean le Meingre Boucicaut, (c. 1366-1421) Marshal of France. Boucicaut is renowned for his martial prowess, as well as his exemplary dedication to the chivalric virtues. As founder of the chivalric order 'White Lady of the Green Shield', whose sole purpose was to protect and serve women, Boucicaut stands as one of the most impressive examples of a knight. Boucicaut was also a firm believer in a stringent training regime to maintain physical prowess. Therefore the contest for Baroness' Champion shall be one of not only martial prowess, but physical duration, and above all chivalry.
The combat component of the tournament shall be fought in chivalric weapons style, and as a prerequisite upon entering the list, each combatant much have a standard, pennon or bannerette. Heraldic display is strongly encouraged.
Come and enjoy a day of combat, picnic and games in the fair Barony of Innilgard, in celebration of our gracious Baroness. Date: Sun October 18
Venue: Carisbrooke Reserve, Main North Road, Salisbury Park, SA
Time: Site Opens: 10am, Armour Inspection Opens: 11am, Closes: 11:30am, Tournament Start: 12 noon
