Original Event Announcement
Because of space considerations the original announcement was reworked. This result was the hidden message being obscured. This message related directly to the subtle theme of the event; it being the 42nd anniversary of Calafia and how the number 42 related to the Hitchhiker's to the Galaxy series of books. What follows is the submission created by the event steward.
Do join Their Excellencies Baron Oliver and Baroness Kate at El Monte County Park on Saturday, November 10th for the Barony of Calafia's Forty-second anniversary!
Our dear Barony of Calafia was formed in November 1970, so this is our One and Only chance to show that being 42 truly is the answer for Everything. We will spend the day determining Calafia's Champions in heavies, rapier, unarmoured, youth, archery, and thrown weapons.
Next after the tournament the Barony will be feast prepared by the Household of the Blackened Pot. Blackened Pot was the winner of the first Potrero War Siege Cook-off. The feast will be at Heartland Masonic Lodge, located at 695 Ballantyne Street, El Cajon, California 92020. (Directions below.)
Take note: minors under the age of 18 attending the event with someone other than their parent or legal guardian must have both a signed and notarized minor's waiver and a signed and notarized minor's medical authorization. These forms can be obtained from The Kingdom website. You will not be permitted on site without the correct signed and notarized forms.
Parks operated by the San Diego County Parks & Recreation Department require that all pets (not just dogs) be on a leash no more than 6 feet long, and must be attended at all times.
A Special announcement from Their Excellencies Baron Oliver and Baroness Kate: We would like it known that it is our preference that those who wish to enter the lists for Calafia Anniversary limit themselves to a single list. This is in part to help speed up the tourneys on a day that has limited daylight. It is also our belief that a true champion would rather strive to compete in one list where they can dedicate their efforts to show themselves as an example to emulate and a person with a true desire for competing within that form, rather than entering multiple lists in an attempt to try to win as much and as often as they can. Our desire is for Champions for whom others within that discipline can look up to; receiving guidance and encouragement. We would hope that our Champions would become available to the practitioners of their form, within our Barony as well as the Kingdom, to instruct and guild others along their paths. We would also request, but do not require, that our Champions join us as visual examples during Court at as many of our events as possible, primarily for Winter Arts; Gyldenholt/Calafia Friendship; Leodamus of Thebes; and at our Anniversary next year to pass on the mantle and title.
