Skewered!
(2019-06-08 - Site opens at 9 AM & Closes at 5 PM)
Roxbury Mill

On June 8th, 2019, come to the Shire of Roxbury Mill for the hit sequel to last year's Skewered!. At Skewered! 2, it's dangerous to go alone — so bring a friend. There will be Rapier, Archery, Arts & Sciences and Bardic Competitions, as well as a hot lunch feast of New World Pairings as a Shire fundraiser.

Website:http://roxburymill.atlantia.sca.org/skewered-2019/

Martial Activities: Rapier: RMIC Ffernfael Ap Kymro.

It truly is dangerous to fight by oneself, so this event's activities will focus on pairs. Paired Valhalla melee will start the day, followed by a Bedford tourney in which prizes will be awarded to the Valhalla pair with the highest combined mean score. After a break for lunch, activities will continue with a Blacksword and Free Scholar Prize.

Archery: Gregge the Archer has planned both an IKAC and Royal Rounds shoots for the day, as well as an Archery Marshal class at midday.

Overall MiC: Maestra Caitilin inghean Fheichin

Arts & Sciences Activities: A&S: A&S: MoAS Lady Elenor de La Rochelle alias Ela and Sarah La Malade.

“Jack of Two Trades” A&S competition! Entries should fall into at least one of the following categories:
• one item made using two different techniques (for example, a handsewn fabric bag with hand-cast metal fittings)
• two items of the same kind made with different techniques (for example, a glass bowl and a pottery bowl)
• two items of the same kind from different time periods (for example, a 9th-century necklace and 16th-century necklace)

Only work in one area? Enter with a friend—pairs are encouraged! 

Judging will be by bean count (blind populace vote). Documentation is required to explain to the populace how the item(s) fit(s) the competition; EZ-Doc is more than acceptable. There will be a prize for best entry! Any questions can be addressed to Lady Ela at elysse.t.meredith@gmail.com
