Join the Incipient Barony of Myrtle Holt, as we celebrate our
ancestors with merriment, classes, horses, and
tournaments!
We will be holding our archery, and equestrian championships, as
well as our heavy defender tournament!
Check back for classes and schedule!
Myrtle Holt’s Osprey (Archery) Championship
format:
It is a
moving course. What does this mean? It means that you will be on
the move while firing at your target! You can set your own pace,
but you must stay mobile!
Myrtle Holt Heavy Defender
format:
No
shield! Any weapon is ok, as long as it’s on your fighter
card!
Classes This will be updated,
and times will be added to the schedule, when it’s ironed out.

Heartsblood
This class will be more informal, and ongoing throughout the day,
so that people can get one on one instruction without feeling that
they have missed information.
Activities for the smalls and small at heart: Card stock helms and
shields: Get started early as an armorer, or herald, by making and
decorating your own helm and shield!
Hobby horse decoration: Maybe you prefer the equestrian fun! Groom
your very own wooden steed to your liking!
Period paper doll clothes: Maybe creating beautiful garb is more
your style!
