Details about the Rapier
Tournement

Bring the person of your
choice to stand as your inspiration. They will be given
roses, one is theirs as a keepsake and in exchange they shall
giveyou a favor to keep.When a bout is lost the inspiration
gives one of their roses to the winner. Eventually there
shall be only one who will be holding a complete bouquet. The
others will have one rose to keep. You do not have to enter
for the Championship to particpat in the Tourney. If you
don’t have someone to ask to stand as inspiration we can help
with that. There will be ribbons and items available to use
for favors and the Barony will provide the Roses. This is a
wonderful opportunity to act with chivalry and drama, come
join us and help make it memorable.
