It is time once again to unleash the dogs of war! The War Duchess of Wolfscairn calls upon all Ladies of Estate to assemble Their armies and take to the field to win Glory, Honor, and Treasure!
Everyone is welcome! Armor inspection begins at 10 am. Fighting will begin at 11am and run until 4pm. As is tradition, this will be an all day resurrection battle. Any donation of a prize for the treasure chest will be gladly accepted.
This is the same park we usually use but we are not using the picnic tables or gazebos. We will be on the same grassy area closer to the tennis courts.
Please bring sunshades or pavilions. We will be at the far end of the parking lot, away from the picnic area.

Canton of Hawk’s Haven
Come and fight off all that feasting at the Post-Turkey Turkey Tourney! Greetings from Hawks Haven, in the congenial Barony of Darkwood! Please join us at our annual Turkey Tourney November 28, 2015 at Machado School in Morgan Hill.
Site opens at 9:00 am. Armor inspection will be held at 11:00 am. The Mad Dog Melee starts at 12 noon and ends at 2 pm. “Turkeys” will be awarded for belted and un-belted fighters.
There will be a foam-weapon melee for the kids with prizes, as well as period games.
Please bring festive comestibles to share for the post-melee leftover madness potluck revel. (Remember, no kitchen on site.)
We will also be contesting the art of subtle courtly criticism – bring your best veiled insults, original and period preferred, for your entertainment during the repast.
And don’t forget your live steel, because the bottle-cutting contest starts at 3:30 pm! We encourage everyone participating in the Bottle Cutting Contest to start saving your empty 2-liter bottles NOW and bring them along to ensure that we have plenty for all to slash at. (Or, if Thanksgiving revelries are at your house, this is a great re-use opportunity!)

Take Highway 101 to the Tennant Ave exit in Morgan Hill. If you are northbound on 101, turn left and cross the overpass. If you are southbound, turn right on Tennant. Tennant becomes Edmundson when you cross Monterey Road. Turn left on Sunnyside. Turn right on Sycamore. Machado School is on the left after you cross a narrow bridge.
Winter is coming, and that means it’s time for the Annual Beaconsgate Boar Hunt and Feast sponsored by the Province of the Mists!
Boar Hunt is a fighting activity. A Boar is played by a fighter armed with two maces. Hunters are fighters armed only with spears. And “hounds” are fighters armed with daggers. There are also unarmored “dogs”, who seek out the boars and bark when they are discovered — this can be a great role for a mature child accompanied by a responsible adult.
We are also planning on having Stag Hunts for the rapier fighters that show up!
While The Hunts are going on during the day, we will have many activities within the hall — dancing, singing, music, games — for non-fighters and tired fighters, so bring musical instruments, dancing shoes, and board games. Banners to help make the hall more festive are especially welcome! Please plan to bring something for your lunch if you are coming on site early.
Site is “discretely wet” please decant.
Our feast this year will be prepared by Michael of the Shire, with drink pairings by the Mistress of the Brewers Guild, Argenteilin Filia Elffin. Menu details to come. Reservations for the feast are available from the Autocrat Dafydd Waleis (David Fellner) at the West Kingdom Meet and Beat, Collegium Occendentalis, and Mists Investiture and are $15 per person.
Come join the Province of Southern Shores for a day of gaming, and put a little jingle in your purse! The day’s activities will include casino style gaming with several tables of different games along with classes on how to play them, a make-and-take game board class and games, and activities for the kids. We will also have a silent auction throughout the day with goodies made and/or donated by the talented members of Southern Shores, just in time for the holidays.
In the evening, we will dine on a late period French feast cooked by Aaliz de Saint-Joseph. Feast tickets are available now. Please contact either Aaliz or Apollonia Faust to reserve your spot.
The Brick Spoon Competition: The category this year is finger foods. Please bring your favorite period finger food (with documentation) to be judged. Cooks of ALL experience level are encouraged to compete!
Silver Tongued Devil: This bardic competition puts your impromptu skills to the test. The current Silver Tongued Devil will choose a topic. The contestants make up their best story on the spot, and it’s always entertaining.
Half Dirty Dozen Largesse Competition: Since it’s always a busy time of year, this competition only requires that participants make 6 of a particular item to be donated as largesse. The populace will vote for their favorite, and the winner will be able to choose one of their favorite items to keep. The rest will be donated to kingdom largesse.
