This event was long remembered for the excellent feast of roast pig, and that such a small group as the Barony of the Isles (perhaps ten people strong) could feed and entertain over 200 attendees in style.

Event Information
(From the July 1975 issue of The Crown Prints)
Caid's 12th Night Banquet & Revels will be held in the Barony of the Isles next Jan. with very little time for getting the hall rental $$ together before deadline time. It may seem very early for all this but consider that SCA events are a HOBBY, after all; most of us can only handle SCA details on weekends & occasional odd hours during a usually busy work-week. So there are actually VERY few "working" hours between now and the time Isles has to complete arrangements for 12th Night.
Therefore, the deadline to get at least $1.00 per person to reserve a spot at the banquet is at the Coronet Tourney in Sept. (or mail it to either Martin the Temperate or Lady Jessica Llyrindi of Northmarch - see addresses in PEOPLE TO CONTACT column before Sept. 13, 1975. DON'T PROCRASTINATE!
Total fee for the banquet is $5.00 per person (which Isles would be quite happy to accept in advance) with the $1.00 being a non-refundable default for "no-shows". The high rental fee on the hall is one of the reasons for the early reservation demands. There is a possibility that Isles can obtain another hall for a better fee, and if so, the 12th Night Revels will be moved to Jan. 17, 1976. More info on this later.
MEANWHILE, make your reservations early; don't regret "meaning to do it".
There will be a contest for the best pair of male & female costumes of the same country & period, shown at Southern 12th Night, to be judged by the Cantons of Lyonesse & Failte. Suitable prizes will be awarded.
(From the August & September 1975 "frankly unofficial" issue of The Crown Prints)
SOUTHERN 12TH NIGHT will be held in the Barony of the Isles (Santa Barbara area) on Jan. 17, 1976. The banquet will cost $5.00, at least $1 of which MUST BE IN BY NORTHERN CROWN TOURNEY to hold your reservation! Sept. 28, 1975 is the LAST date to get reservations for Southern 12th Night, so don't procrastinate on this or you may miss some good fun. The total banquet fee is due by Nov. 30 (they have a hall to rent, food to buy. . .) If for some reason you have to cancel, $1 will be held from the refund. Send the money to Martin the Temperate (details omitted) or Baroness Jessica Llyrindi of Northmarch (details omitted).
AND MORE 12TH NIGHT INFO. . . If you have something to offer for entertainment at Southern 12th Night, contact Martin the Temperate as soon as possible. Let him know in detail what you want to do, & especially how long the entertainment is to last (working out a time schedule is very important). Do NOT plan to arrive on 12th Night with this nifty act. . .
SOUTHERN 12TH NIGHT COSTUME CONTEST The Cantons of Lyonesse & Failte are offering prizes for the best pair of male & female costumes; same country, same era or period of time, shown at the 12th Night Revels. A statement of intent to enter the contest is due by Oct. 1, to Lady Gabrielle nicChlurain (details omitted). NO SINGLE COSTUMES: MATCHED MALE & FEMALE PAIRS ONLY.
DOLL CONTEST FOR 12TH NIGHT Open to all SCA people, the doll contest rules were in the July issue of THE CROWN PRINTS (25 cents each) or ask Mistress Tyra Stuart of Moray about details (details omitted).
A statement of intent to enter the contest is necessary, due to the failure of previous contests: a lot of work & planning goes into these projects, so people would like to hear from YOU if you're really interested in them. Deadline for this statement is Oct. 4 (at the Angels Anniversary Tourney). If Mistress Tyra does not have at least five such statements by then, the contest will be called off. Please help support the Arts!
TWELFTH NIGHT COSTUMES Mistress Tyra is available for consultation & will cheerfully aid you in any problems with selecting & putting together a 12th Night outfit. (Sorry, but she cannot sew the costumes for you--deadlines on a book & construction of her own & her Lord's costumes prevent this.) There are patterns available from Golden Key for a nominal rental fee (and a pound of flesh if they are returned in poor shape!) Pattern lists--modern patterns which can be purchase & made over for costumes--are available from the Costume Guild & notebooks, costume books & other designs which can be perused at House Merriment (phone first--sorry, no books loaned out to anyone.) (details omitted)

From James the Inconstant
- I remember watching Martin dismembering the Pig with an axe while muttering to himself something along the lines of "How did a nice Jewish Boy like me end up doing this?"
