Come join us in the Barony of Starkhafn, and partake of our famous hospitality in the desert, as we once again engage in a weekend of classes with an emphasis on sword combat in SCA armored, unarmored and rapier formats, with an eye on the historical use of the weapons, and other matters of import to the well-rounded swordsman and swordswoman! We will also have an area prepared for the mental exercises of period games! Warriors, scholars and others of all skill levels are encouraged to attend and participate. The new site will allow some classes in the comfort of the great indoors. You can put your newly-learned skills to use in a tournament that will be held on Sunday afternoon.
Classes will run during the day on President's Day Weekend, Saturday, February 18 and Sunday February 19, with a revel planned for Saturday evening. Site fee will include lunch on Saturday, and a lunch will be available on Sunday for a donation.
Classes will include Spear for SCA Rapier, classes and a cutting demonstration by Bill Wilson of the Tattershall School of Defense, Unarmored Combat by Their Graces Guillaume de la Belgique and Felinah Tifarah Arvella Memo Hazara Khan-ad-Din, fighting garb with HE Kate Dogberry, classes with Don Lot Ramirez, and others yet to be confirmed. Further details will be determined and posted as they are finalized on the Barony's website at http://starkhafn.org/events/events.php
