We will also repeat our popular Turkey Legs lunch and "bottomless cup" lemonade.

Argent Oliphaunt Sale !!! Time to clear your closet, and help support our Barony at the same time! Bring anything you want to se;;: the garb you haven't worn in over a year, the feast gear you got before you moved up to pewter, the old sunshade, the mathoms you've been swapping with everyone else in the Barony for the last ten Yuletide gift exchanges. Someone out there does want that fabric that was 50 cents a yard but the wrong blue for you, or the trim that looks Byzantine when your persona's Tudor. We ask that 30% of the price (or more if you wish) be tithed to the Baronial coffers. Look for us at the Sign of the Argent Oliphaunt, or contact Lady Alys Meghan Cattewynne.
Our site is Tournament Park, at Caltech in Pasadena. From the California Bl. entrance, it's behind the Tech athletic fields & Gym; go to the back of the parking lot & look for a little gate. There is also parking at the Wilson Street end of the park. Pavillion space is limited; to be assured a spot, please call the Autocrats & reserve. First consideration will be given to royal & baronial pavillions; otherwise, reservations will be on a 'first come, first served' basis. There is also ample shade available.
For further information, contact the Autocrats.
The May Tourney is an official event of the Barony of the Angels, hosted by the House of the Voyagers.
