WAR IS COMING!!
The snows are melting in the mountain pass. The crops are planted. Our enemies are readying their swords and armor. You are itching to hit something (or someone). The time has come to pull your armor from the wagon and fix that strap that threatened to snap all last year. It's time to take your sword to the blacksmith and remove the rust and fix the handle.
IT IS TIME FOR MELEE!!!

The Barony of the Angels invites all fighters (and everyone else) to the first fighting event of 2015. Come join us on Saturday, January 10th for a day of heavy weapons, combat archery, and rapier war scenarios.
To allow time for as much combat as possible, Court will begin at 9:30 a.m. If you have business for court, please contact the Seraph Herald, Baron John ap Griffin, at the address below before the event or at least 30 minutes before court opens.
This year, the Barony will be using the "EDGAR THE ARCHER MEMORIAL ARROW TRAP," a fully-enclosed fighting eric that allows an archer to fire in 360 degrees. Yes that’s right, the 80x140 foot melee eric will be enclosed within an 8-foot tall archery netting eric that will allow combat archers to participate fully. With this in mind, most of the scenarios WILL ALLOW COMBAT ARCHERY!!!! SORRY, NO CROSS-BOWS ALLOWED--ONLY HAND BOWS!
Teams for the day will consist of any combination of eight (8) fighters/archers. If you are planning to marshal, please bring approved safety goggles, if you have them. (Some loaners will be available.)
RAPIER: The rapier community will also be running a variety of scenarios in their own 80x80 eric.
RAFFLE: Angels RAFFLE needs your STUFF! We are seeking donations for the Angels Melee!
Raffle! Raffle! Raffle!!
Make your New Year’s resolution to treat yourself to an uncluttered house and let all the Stuff you've collected become someone else’s for a while. Individual items (jewelry, combat gear, books, embroidery kits, notecards, artwork, drinking glasses, soaps, etc.) are very welcome. Or make up a collection of even vaguely related items that we can put in a basket or box to raffle off as a group of goodies. Remember that the raffle can use anything. Even that holiday fruit cake that your family has been circulating for year!!!!!! We’re also looking for baskets and boxes to use for grouping raffle items.
Baron Timotheus and I will be available at Altavia’s Monday night fighter practices, and by appointment at Angel’s Tuesday night fighter practices. Or contact me to arrange a pickup time and place. We look forward to seeing what you can come up with!
Thanks in advance!--Dame Lynnette de Sandoval
