The annual Lyos Memorial Picnic - has been washed out!

Please know, and spread the news to any who may need to know, that the combat portion of Lyos Memorial Picnic has been canceled due to bad weather and illness.
Lady celsa and her family will still be picnicking on site and retrieving the remnants of her camp. Lady celsa invites others to join her if they are extremely keen, but be aware that the forecast is for wind, rain and cold, so entertainments may not be forthcoming.

In the glade in the crater of the glorious Mount Franklin there shall be a relaxed picnic (BYO lunch), games and merriment of many kinds and a tournament (BYO combatants). Cordials and fruit will be provided.

Added Thursday 25 January:

Unto the populace of the Southern Parts of Lochac does the Seneschal of
Cairnfell and the Steward of the Cairnfell Surveying Expedition being one
and the same person send greetings and a warm welcome to those gentles that
are soon to travel within our wild lands. What follows is a mix of
information both serious and pleasant in turn and occasionally both. I hope
that after this missive I will have made available all information necessary
for the weekend.

Directions for the event are as follows:

>From Ballarat drive to Daylesford and then towards Tylden. Just (~50m)
before the 70kmh sign at Tylden on the Right hand side of the road is James
Lane. Take this road. If you get to the Tylden General Store you have gone
too far. Do a U Turn and pick up the directions as if coming from Melbourne.

The people of Cairnfell invite one and all to join us in a day of fun, food and frivolity to celebrate the return of spring.

There will be an Archery and infantry (heavy) tournament held in the afternoon, followed by a feast in the evening.

“What a great way to end the year in Stormhold, with a Royal Visit! Come and celebrate the season with our friendly little Canton. There will be an archery competition, a heavy tournament, games for the kids and sausages. BYO picnic basket to supplement. Each family or household is to bring one mystery gift to be given away at random to another family/household (Chris Cringle style). Please make it something simple ($10 limit), preferably something made from stuff you already have around your home. Seasons greetings to all and we hope to see you there!”
