 Classes and Demos schedule is posted HERE Fighter classes will be scheduled in the morning and a Bear Pit Tournament, for both heavy and rapier fighters, will be held in the afternoon. Prizes will be awarded to the winners! Due to weather concerns the fighting will be held indoors (air-conditioned). A full-size athletic gymnasium, less than a mile from St. Michael's church, will host the fighter events, most classes and the children's activities. We have received permission from the facilities management to open the locker rooms and shower facilities for your use. We will have two locker rooms, one for Lords and one for Ladies. These locker rooms are on a small scale but offer small lockers (lock-able, with their own keys), restrooms and shower stalls with shower curtains. These facilities will be avilable for your use during the day and after fighting activities as we want everyone fresh for court and feast. Please bring your own toiletries and towels. To view classes already scheduled, please see the Class Page . Iron Garb Costume Contest Info here

We are now conducting an "open call" for all singers, dancers, jugglers, storytellers and other performers to participate in the Acroama during the feast (children are welcome to participate, with a guardian's permission and supervision). Please contact the autocrat before August 10, 2006 if you would like to participate! The number of performers is limited.
