*Grand Day of Tournaments 2016 (Sat Nov 5, 2016)* Liberty School, Ann Arbor
Saline Road, Saline, MI. Ms. Giovanna Steward. Budget $1735. Breakeven 174.

   -

   Insurance Certificate is ordered

*Pentemere 12th Night Jan 7, 2017. THL Ceara *Hidden Springs Church,
Howell *Budget
$2700* Breakeven: 170(approx)

   -

    Site News:   We may have the Church… but the cost is unclear.
   -

   The Church referred us to the other two Baronies who have hosted.  They
   will not set a price (possibly for tax reasons, suggests Bunny.)
   -

   We could follow the example of Roaring Waste and give them half our gate
   receipts.  $1000 possible. But is weather is bad this would guarantee we
   did not have to give them more that we received.
   -

   We can use Northwood’s example and give them ½ our Profit.  But first we
   have to split Profit with Kingdom if this becomes Kingdom 12th Night. If
   weather is bad we could lose money on the event.  And then how much do
   we pay the church?
   -

   Or offer them $500 base and ½ the Baronial Profit (1/2 what we have
   after splitting profit with Kingdom.
   -

   Ceara, Steward, is going to consider, consult advisors, and make a
   decision.

No Regional Melee Practice this weekend.

Garb Work Day is Saturday 6/18. Eastern Michigan Costume Shop. See Cynnabar
Website.

*Activity, Event & Demo Reports *

*Smurf Shoot: *Grey went and reports this is a wonderful little event, much
like archery events were 20 years ago. The Smurf was taken by Cirion the
Left Handed, after a final where Grey have 3 one shot Kills in a row.  The
food was great; potluck is the tradition.

Siege of Talonval: Ermenrich reports a good event, and though Cynnabar was
defeated it took the combined might of Pentemere to do it.  Friday was fun.
Saturday started as a lovely day but a drizzle commenced.  Kay notes that
our Baroness was one of the wise Judges for the Siege Cooking contest.  Two
ladies competed, and it became, they reported to me, ad cooperative effort
as they shared garnish and efforts in the final moments of plating their
efforts. Mistress Heloise too the prize, but all the food was excellent.  It
had been too long since I have had Goat.

Those who stayed Saturday night did not have the torrential rains we
experienced on our way home, and Ermenrich says *some people* stayed up
Very Late.

There were several archery shoots, until the rain.  One that was postponed
till another day involved a 3 dimensional target on wheels.  Grey says a
Moose prize will be embellished with a walnut and oak case or reliquary…

The Talon vale Rapier Champion sponsors a tourney at this event.  Our
William was the most successful in a challenge to exchange 500 passes with
the Talon vale Champion.  Hooray!
