(Event announcement published in the July 1975 "unofficial" newsletter of the Principality.)
The Angels Anniversary Tourney will be only one day this year, instead of a 2-day camp-out, due to lack of good camping areas that have not only nice facilities, but a greensward for fighting. The site chosen is a secluded area of the Arroyo Seco Park (along the Pasadena Fwy) & people who wish to find places in the Los Angeles area to stay over-night, then return for more fun & fighting the next day may do so. (Many Angelenos have indicated willing hospitality for the asking.)
The Anniversary Tourney will be the deadline for reservations to be in to Lady Jessica Llyrindi of Northmarch for the 12th Night Banquet, by the way.
Lady Tyra Stewart of Moray, Angels Mistress of Arts, has decreed an Open Cookery Contest, with a dish sufficient to feed your own household, at least. Plan to bring your own hibachi or other methods of cooking or heating said contest entry. Even those who do no plan to enter the contest are encouraged to bring a pot-luck dish; those who do not bring anything can pay $1.50 for dinner.
There will be Soup de la Garbage for people who help put up and take down pavillions, run errands, set out erics & otherwise help set up.
(An updated event announcement was published in the August & September 1975 "frankly unofficial" issue of The Crown Prints):
On St. Oct 4 at the grotto in Arroyo Seco Park. It will be a 1-day event because of difficulties with finding a good camping area & the populace's general lack of funds. However there will be a fighting practice the next day, Sun, for those who wish to stay. Many Angels people have offered their homes to those who need accommodations (please ask ahead of time: don't arrive on someone's doorstep at 3 AM & expect a cheery greeting if they didn't know you were coming! And please make your arrangements before coming to the Tourney to prevent overcrowding at some homes & no use of others: anyone on the Angels Hotline can help you find a place).
There will be a cooking contest for the Hester Spoon; it is open to all & will have categories in main dishes, desserts & bread, as well as 'your-guess-is-as-good-as-mine' & Best in Show. Plan to bring your own hibachi or other methods of cooking or heating as the park lacks such facilities. The dish should be large enough to serve your own group at least. Even those who do not plan to enter the contests are asked to bring a pot-luck dish to help with dinner: a charge of $1.50 will be levied for those who do not bring anything, if they wish dinner. (The Assassins Guild will patrol: smellfeasts & uncourteous pigs will be assassinated on the spot!)
There will be a pot of soup & bread for people who help put up and take down pavillions, run errands, set up erics & otherwise help out. This soup will be available from noon on--so if you can't afford to bring stuff--plan to HELP & be fed free. For others, soup & bread will be 25 cents.
GRAND MARCH & OPENING COURT will be at 10 AM (Viscount Christian's time--i.e., exact at 10!) Lists will begin at noon. Bring banners for the march & to place in the park.
There will be 3 on-the-spot contests at the Tourney; there is no need to send in entries beforehand. They are:
- DESIGNING A COSTUME for a historical personage. Lady Bjo of Griffin will provide AT THE TOURNEY a list of famed or notorious people from which the entrants must select at least one. You do not need to know how to draw well; a paper with male & female figures will be provided on which to design the costume, if you wish to use it.
- HERB GUESSING CONTEST --10 herbs: how many can you identify? Sponsored by Mistress Tyra Stuart of Moray
- DESIGN A HERALDIC DEVICE for a person or place to be decided upon by Lord John ap Griffin & sponsored by same. Paper with a heater (shield-shape) will be provided.
REMEMBER, THIS IS THE LAST DATE FOR WRITTEN STATEMENTS OF INTENT FOR THE DOLL DRESSING CONTEST!
