The Mongols and the Slavs are warring again! However, this time their ladies have interceded and made them agree to meet on our fields at Wyldwoode to determine who is best at Archery, Thrown Weapons, Fighting and the Arts & Sciences! Come one, come all to try your hands at collecting the points to choose the victors!

Our chosen site is the lovely Wildwood Archery Center, 5740 Fikes Rd, Elbridge, NY 13060. Site opens at 5pm Friday, September 3rd, 2010, and closes at noon on Monday, September 6th, 2010.

There will be archery competitions, including the 7 Pearls Archery Tournament and the traditional monster shoot for the younger crowd. There will be thrown weapons competitions. There will be a heavy weapons tourney. There will be an arts & sciences challenge, with a theme of Baronial largesse (entries to be donated to the Barony). We will also be hosting the 7 Pearls Arts & Sciences competition on Saturday.

Our Baronial Champions in Archery, Thrown Weapons, Arts & Sciences, and Heavy Fighting will be chosen for the coming year!

In addition, Thomas Byron of Haverford and Ariella of Thornbury, Baron and Baroness of the Debatable Lands, have challenged the members of the Order of the Gage to join them in holding the field against all comers. Come and be among the cheering throngs, and root for your favorite competitor!
