Why not come to the Stormhold Monthly Bash?

This is a Real Tournament that occurs on the first Sunday of each month and shows off the fighting talents of the local fighters. Monthly Bash has be going for Twenty Years and is a great way to participate in a fun medieval setting.

If you are a newcomer, why not telephone to let us know that you will be there. That way, we can try to dress you in suitable costume. Ring Karen on 0417 596 524.

This month is likely to be very quiet, as many in the Barony will be at Rowany Festival. If you haven't been to a Bash before, we suggest you come to May Bash instead.

Lardfest

Kensington Neighborhood Centre, Anthony St Kensington

Lardfest is an adaptation of Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent when Medieval people ate pancakes to use up their stores of eggs and FAT.

We're going to use the facilities at Tuesday Night Fighter Training and Craft Hall (an industrial kitchen) to test cooking and eating fatty, sugary food like doughnuts, olliebollen and anything else you bring to deep fry.

We'll also experiment with the taste and cooking effects of cooking with different types of fat - pork, duck, beef, vegetable etc.

Please bring your cooking experiments, sugar, curiosity and appetite.
