Tourney of Love
Saturday, February 18, 2012
9:00 AM to 10:00 PM
Event site is the Brick Church at 126 Union
Street in Bangor, Maine
GENERAL INFORMATION
The coveted pink baldric of the "Champeen O'
Love" has been held for two years by Lord Ané du
Vey. It is well past time that his opponents come
forward and attempt to win the affections of the
gallery by besting Lord Vey in order to win the
baldric for their very own! Verily, it is time
to once again meet mid-winter to fight, fence,
and make merry.
Fencing, Rattan, and Arts and Sciences
competitions are the hallmarks of this
tournament. Participants of the tourney may
enter and win one or more categories. However,
the Pink Baldric will be awarded to the gentle
that excels in all three and displays that which
the Lords and Ladies of the Gallery feel
exemplifies a true "Champeen O' Love." The whim
and affections of the Gallery members may very
well weigh heavily on the outcome of the
tournament; after all, this is the Tourney O'
Love.
Held at the historic Brick Church, we offer in
your entrance fee light snacks during the day
and an "evening board," featuring stews, breads,
and other hearty winter faire. Attendees are
encouraged to bring a pot luck item for dessert!
Please bring your feast gear!
Site opens: 9:00 a.m.
Site closes: 10:00 p.m.
