On Memorial Day weekend, Blatha an Oir again combines three events to bring people together from across the Kingdom in their passions and interests. We are hosting Embers and Ambrosia, Celtic Bardic, and Daffodil Archery at the Swiss Sportsmen’s Club the weekend of May 23-26, 2025.
Activities will include:
- Torchlight Tourney Friday night (subject to marshal availability)
- Rapier and Cut and Thrust tourneys Saturday (subject to marshal availability)
- Archery, including the Daffodil Tourney!
- Thrown Weapons!
- Classes – food, bardic, martial, scribal, and more 🙂
- Demo area to chat with folks making things, cooking food, and maybe even try your hand at making something
- Baronial Championships!!
Saturday:
- Bardic Championship: 2 separate pieces to perform, one in the morning, one mid-afternoon.
- A&S Championship: We are asking a class to be taught for your competition. We want to know about your project intimately, how it’s made, history of it, and why you chose it. If you’re not comfortable with a large amount of people and speaking, we can, of course, accommodate you down to The Baron and The Baroness and the current Champion. This Barony needs someone who is willing to teach a few times within their Championship, even if it’s just at our events. We Champions represent the pride and people of this Barony. Show us what it is that makes you dive headfirst down your A&S rabbit hole. We are excited to hear and see your efforts!
Sunday:
Shield of the Barony Defender: For those heavy fighters who have never won a tournament, be prepared to fight in a Round Robin
Saturday Potluck!
After Saturday evening court, there will be a potluck in the hall. Two hearty soups/stews will be there for a start – both GF, one with meat, and one vegetarian. Please label foods for discrete allergy maintenance and remember a serving utensil. 🙂
(Since we do have the hall, there will be space to set up a crock pot, or hold foods cold until after Court)
With 2 small play areas for smaller children and a mix of indoor and outdoor activities, restrooms and showers, this is a great option to possibly bring friends to see what this is all about.
