Storvik Novice Tourney
July 13-15, 2007
Barony of Storvik

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This year’s Storvik Novice will "take place in the context of a social structure adapted from the forms of the European Middle Ages. These activities recreate aspects of the life and culture of the landed nobility in Europe prior to 1600 CE." (SCA By-laws) That’s right, the theme is 600 to 1600 CE! Since Novice is about the novices in the Society, we request that all non-novices show up as their persona of choice to give a wide display of what we do
Martial Activities: Authorizations: Being only two weeks before Pennsic War 36, this is a great time to get authorized. Novices looking to participate in the Tourney, and those seasoned veterans trying out a new weapon style should arrive early, as we expect there are many who will need to be authorized. (Marshall’s who are available to help out with authorizations, please e-mail the Autocrat). Heavy Combat: On Saturday there will be a Novice Tournament exclusively for fighters who have been authorized for and practicing heavy combat for less than 365 days. There will also be additional tournaments and some melees. Fighting will finish with War Practice on Sunday. Our site has lots of open field and wooded areas for several different scenarios some which will include combat archery. (POC: Lord Raven, e-mail: lexensis@hotmail.com) Rapier Combat: There will be a Novice Tournament and activities involving both novice and non-novice fighters. (POC: Lady Constanza de Talavera, e-mail: ldycnstza@yahoo.com) Youth Combat: TBD. Archery: TBD.

Arts & Sciences Activities: Arts & Sciences Competition: There will be a Novice Competition for artisans who have been practicing their craft for one year or less. You could be new to the Society or new to the discipline. True novices only please. There will also be an open A&S Competition TBD. (POC: Lady Griele, e-mail: ladygriele@yahoo.com). A&S Novice to Now Display: We encourage any gentle that has become proficient in the arts to bring their first attempt (or a nearly first attempt) and a recent project to display for the encouragement and benefit of all. There will be a prize for the "most improved." (POC: Baroness Catherine Grace Fitzlewis, e-mail below)

According to the event info there WILL be melees on Saturday and War Practice on Sunday which is generally all melee.

Are you guys staying for the weekend or commuting? Camping is free, I'm thinking about camping out for this one. I miss drinking and singing around the campfire. So who wants to camp out?

MorGrendel · Post by **MorGrendel** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 11:14 am

I'm interested in camping. I have not camped since I moved, so it would give me a chance to be sure I have everything for Pennsic.

I was thinking of camping for this one, but my Dads having an art show the same day, so I'm not sure. If the rest of you end up camping I may. Are you thinking of going friday and camping, I might do that if not the rest of the camping to make sure I get there on time in the morning for the actual novice tournament.

Northern Regional War Practice – Sunday July 15th

Join the Northern Region for a day of grand melee combat the day after Storvik Novice Tourney.

Inspections start at 10am.
Immediately afterwards (or by 11:00am at the latest) the fun will begin.
We will start the day with three sets of three field battles.
Between the sets there will be brief breaks (under 5 minutes) for water and strategic discussion on what worked and what the teams need to do to improve. Then we will move to limited front and resurrection battles.
Combat archery will be allowed.

Site: Marietta Mansion is a rustic site located at 5626 Bell
Station Road, Glenn Dale, MD, 20769-9120

Pets on leashed are allowed so long as their owners clean up any pet
waste.
No Original containers.

I wonder how flat beer/cider would get if I put it in unlabeled bottles the day before...

lilkender · Post by **lilkender** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 9:23 am

So, I'm told "no original containers" really means keep the bottles in your cooler and pour it into a mug. Yay.

Weather report says mid-80s for the weekend, lows in the mid-60s, some possibility of thunderstorms on Saturday.

I guess I'll try to get there rather early on Saturday. I would like to camp near you guys and I will need a hand setting up my tent (don't worry, it's quick). Or are you planning to set up tents after the fighting?

I'll try to make sure you guys are well taken care of with water during the fighting!

I keep forgetting to add, I signed up for the feast, it's only $6. If you want to join me for that, email swampkitty2 (at) hotmail (dot) com to register before it fills up, then pay at the gate.

Hehe, your list of titles Titus is getting as long as Loki's.

It's not even good goin down. Why drive out to McDonald's when the feast is only $6 and you don't have to go anywhere?
