Robin Hood Tourney 2013

Event Staff

• Event Stewards: THL Paganus Grimlove & Lady Arianna Foxford
• Merchants: Baroness Morgaine FitzStephen

Highlights

• There will be competitions for Angels' Champions in Archery, Thrown Weapons and this year we are adding a New Angels' Champion – Cross-bow! There will be NO archery authorizations at the event. Archers, you must be authorized prior to this event if you plan to shoot. Unfortunately, there will be no rapier activities this year.

• There will be a People's Choice A&S competition – the Theme is "The Hunt". This year there will be two winners: an overall People’s Choice and an Archery-themed entry. The winning entries must have been completed within the last two years and no piece can be submitted that won at either the 2011 or 2012 Robin Hood Tourney. We encourage all attendees to bring "appreciation tokens" to leave with those entries they find most pleasing.

• There will also be a Traveling Scriptorium, so come paint Award Certificates (promissory notes), learn about scroll design, browse scribal books and talk about the Seraph Scribes (the Angels Scribal Guild.)

• If neither Archery or Thrown Weapons are for you, there's still plenty to do! Come play with string at Fiber Play Day.

• Merchants are welcome! Please send your merchant reservation to Baroness Morgaine FitzStephen.

• Bardic entertainment for Their Excellencies is highly encouraged, especial with an Archery or Hunting theme. Please come out and have a fun day with Their Excellencies Peter and Gabrielle, and the Barony of the Angels.

Memories

• Before I get to the winners of the day, I would like to thank some people who helped with the archery portion of the day:

• The Archers, who showed up from around the Kingdom and those who did not shoot but showed up to watch and support them.
• Anyone who helped set up and/or tore down the the range or helped with the event in any way.
• THL Gaius Gracchus of Greymist for making the prize pouches. Lord Guy Taylor for making the prize arrow. Baroness [[Morgaine

FitzStephen]] for land prize arrangement.

• THL Rekon of Saaremaa for her support and for making the coins I handed out. Her son Neil and his girlfriend Michelle for drawing the life-sized targets that were used (featuring silhouettes of myself and Master Dietrich von den Weinbergen (West Kingdom) from 20+ years ago) and Suzanne Delaplaine for the Window targets.
• THL Nikolaos Phaistos, Baroness Meliora Deverel, and Baroness Gabrielle nicChlurain for dealing with the pre-event site issues and

Saunders mats arrangement.

• THL Catharine Hawkwod da Barbiano for running the Arts Competition.
• THL Cecilia Medici for running the Thrown Weapons Competition.
• THL Cristofanus Castellani for running the Youth Competition.
• Dame Lynnette de Sandoval del Valle de los Unicornios for being the drop dead (mentor) site-o-crat.
• Lady Amanda Januarius of Silver Woods for running the lists and setting up the list cards the way I wanted, which made everything

run smoother and faster.

• Lady Arianna Foxford for whom I could not have done the event without. She stepped in to be the site-o-crat when I told the

Baroness I needed a local to handle the site arrangements (living about two hours away from the site and having heath issues). She made the ranking prizes, oversaw the event details and stepped in to finish the lists (when Lady Amanda had to leave; we knew she could only stay until 3:30) leaving me able to concentrate on the range. Lady Arianna was the autocrat of this event, not I.
