Put on your finery and bring out your colorful plumage in celebration of spring. The College of the Voyagers and the Barony of Angels invite you to join them in the annual May Day celebration. We will have a day of fighting, games, and the traditional maypole dance! Bring your latest projects for the annual Arts & Sciences people’s choice.
In conjunction with May Day will be Kingdom Sciences Day.
The infamous Voyagers Maypole will make its appearance for the traditional dance. After the dance, we will pass the maypole to a new couple so it can continue its work. See who the lucky recipients for the upcoming year will be!

The College of the Voyagers and the Barony of Angels invite you to join them in the annual May Day celebration. There will be fighting, the traditional May Pole dance, the annual People's Choice A&S Competition -- and this year, check out the awesome exhibits at the accompanying Kingdom Sciences Day!
There will be both armored combat and rapier fighting. When the tourney is over, the infamous Voyagers' May Pole will make its appearance for the traditional dance. After the dance, we will pass the May Pole to a new couple so it can continue its work. See who the lucky recipients for the upcoming year will be!
The People's Choice A&S competition is open to everyone. Show off your latest and greatest work -- we want to see it all! Documentation is encouraged but not required. An extra vote chip will be given to each entry with at least one page of documentation. Include a bibliography and get a second chip towards your tally. Any Laurel wishing to take part in the voting will be given a special chip worth five votes to put in the cup of their favorite entry.

Memories
From Lachlan of Cromarty
- This was a great event in a great park! As a parent, I almost wish all events were held there. It's almost entirely enclosed, and has a playground well within sight of the whole park - easy entertainment for the children. Though Cassandre and I had both kids with us, she was able to fight and I was able to join the scriptorium. All four of us had a good time!
- At opening court, Lord Luke of Caerleon, long-time-Voyager-now-"abroad", sent a very nice letter wishing everyone a fun time. Thank you, Luke.
- At closing court, Seraph Pursuivant Cormac Mór had us call long life to Their Majesties, Their Highnesses, Their Excellencies of Angels, Their Excellencies of Altavia, Altavia, Angels and Caid! >phew!<
- I gather that Diego and Elisheva took home the May Pole this year. Best of luck to them!
From Duchess Natalya de Foix
Lord Diego and Lady Elisheva recently celebrated the birth of their second son, Malcolm; their first son, Remy, was born a statistically significant time AFTER taking the May Pole home with them after the 2010 event.
