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 Crown Prints July 1975 issue)
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.
Highlights

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?"
