Champclair Drake’s Treatise Rapier Battle @ Andrews Park Amphitheater
Sep 17 @ 9:00 am – 6:00 pm

Calling ALL Fighters!
Take up your arms for a day of melees and tournaments in the arts of WAR! Timed right in between Pennsic and Great Western War, in order to serve as the perfect opportunity to keep your melee and tourney skills honed!

Tournaments will be run by the ever-talented Meister Dustin Thorn, as at events past. They will kick off with the all–may–enter, with a bear-pit running concurrent to the all-may-enter starting after the first elimination round. The combined armored/unarmored duo tournament will return. A capture-the-flag melee with rubber band guns will occur after the traditional post-lunch group photo and a Cut-and-Thrust tournament will end the day’s fighting. Don’t be surprised if there’s a few twists thrown in for these too!

There will be an Arts & Sciences competition decided by populace vote. All entries welcome, including unfinished objects, documentation is always welcome but not required.

We have secured the same great location as in past years and are keeping the gate fees the same as well so come one and all to this event which is unparalleled in the West!

Westermark Madness @ San Francisco Archers
Sep 25 @ 9:00 am – 6:30 pm

Come join the Barony of the Westermark at the annual Westermark Madness on Sunday, 25-September 2022 at the San Francisco Archery Range in Pacifica, CA. This year’s merriment includes Heavy and Rapier fighting as well as Archery, A&S classes, fun, and a potluck feast. Gate opens at 9:00 am and the site closes at 6:30 pm (~sunset).  More detailed information can be found on the Westermark Madness 2022 Website.

LOTS of fun for everyone!  Chivalric combatants, challenge your friends to become the next Thug or Shepherd, or maybe you want to team up with a comrade in arms and try your hand as a two headed troll. Lots of Rapier scenarios will be held too, for the opportunity to be the next Sharp of the Westermark. Archers can enjoy some novelty shoots and other shoots to find the Hood of the Westermark!  Artists can have fun with the pumpkin carving competition and enjoy some of our A&S classes taking place.

There will be a potluck style early dinner that will take place after the tournaments and court concludes. If you are able, please bring a side dish or dessert to share, large enough to serve 4 to 8 persons and the Barony will provide the main course. Please make an ingredients list available for those with food allergies. The Barony will provide shredded chicken, pulled pork and roast beef as prepared by our own Baroness Alistair!

Please try to carpool as there is limited parking. We want many people to come, so join the day trip together! Bring sun shades, chairs and tables.

Bring your own potable water – no water on site. Porta potty will be available (We are not that heathenish)

Have Questions?  See the Westermark Madness 2022 Website for detailed information, schedules, and driving directions.  Also contact Master Sean Tracy of Newbury (tnewby27@gmail.com).

Midwinter Fae Fête @ Sons of Norway Hall
Jan 21 @ 9:00 am – 8:30 pm

Have you heard the tinkling of bells on the breeze, seen mushroom rings popping up throughout the fields, hear the music drifting through the leaves of the ancient oak trees, or perhaps feel the mists that swirl and dance between sea and land, marsh and forest. Can you see the shadowy figures gathering?

Ahhh the space between the worlds call. There is a rumor the veil will be open for one night. Would you dare to enter?

The Lady of the White Hart has been called upon to once again sound the horn, this time to gather the courts, at a magical woodland hall, resplendent in gold and silver, suns and moons, oak leaves and holly. A place of magic and mischief.

Mortals and fae are invited to compete, game, dance, feast and frolic. Goblins watch with hungry eyes while dryads and beasties move through the woodlands beckoning you to follow.

Are you ready to answer the call and experience the splendors of the fae realm? Well now is your chance. Visit us at the Midwinter Fae Fête hosted by the Shire of Wolfscairn.

Events:

Looking to chase away the midwinter blahs. The Lady of the Whitehart beckons you to attend the Fae Fête. All activities will start promptly at the stated time so plan accordingly.

  • Heavy, Rapier and CT Tournaments 10:am.
  • Children’s contest: build a fairy ring 10-11am
