There are a few fun things in the next couple weeks here in the Barony and in nearby lands. Next weekend the Barony is holding Agincourt event on Saturday, October 25th, in the Shire of Steltonwald.
Here is the kingdom accouncement: https://aethelmearc.org/event/agincourt-xviii/
The following weekend on Sunday November 2nd, we are holding Harvest Revel and November Barony Meeting from 11:00am to 4:00pm. The martial practices will be held at Harvest Revel. That will be the last outdoor heavy and fencing practice for this year. Indoor heavy and fencing practice starts the following week. Archery may continue outdoors at Washington Blvd for a little while longer. See the following information about the Revel:
Join us for a celebration of the autumn at Duke Byron and Duchess Ariella’s castle in Wexford (755 Stonegate Dr, Wexford, PA). A big thanks to them for opening their home to us again! And what better way to celebrate than thwacking, tossing, singing, and PIE! That’s right, we’ll have fighting (heavy and youth), thrown weapons, and archery, plus throwing pumpkins from the parapets (BYOP, no rotten ones – learned that the hard way!).
There will be a PIE CONTEST
If you’ve never encountered the Debatable Lands Harvest Revel Meeting PIE contest before – just about anything counts as pie, if you can name it pie…. “Pumpkin roll? Spatially challenged pie. Cookies? Crustless mini-pies. Pork roast? Deconstructed meat pie. Deviled eggs? Cursed baby chicken pies. We are flexible.
Bring it and a list of its ingredients for our baronage to taste and judge! If you want both our lovely judges to taste your entry, please keep in mind that Praetoria Prima cannot eat mammal meat, including lard, but dairy and poultry are fine.
As many barony members have food sensitivities please have the ingredient list for your contributions to the potluck and the contest. We will have index cards if you need them. No one is required to follow any food guidelines- information is provided for those who choose to go the extra step to make their contributions accessible. Gluten free pies always go over well if you are so inclined. Make sure to bring enough or cut it small, since the judges are YOU!
Come have fun with your friends, eat well, fight, fence, throw, shoot, hang inside with A&S… And of course, a short barony meeting.
