Greetings to all women fighters, fencers, archers and A&S competitors. The College of Cranehaven will be holding our 4th Lioness Tournament in beautiful Peshastin, WA the weekend of June 20-22, 2008. Saturday’s events will be dedicated to women’s competitions in heavy fighting, fencing, archery, Box Tournament, Thrown weapons, A&S (no documentation required), and Bardic.Participants in each event will automatically be entered for the Iron Woman competition. You don’t have to enter all events in order to be included but the more events you enter the better your chances of winning the all around. Join us Saturday evening for a pot luck dinner and the bardic competition. Sunday we will have open competitions for men and women in heavy, rapier, and archery.

This event is dedicated to the memory of Lady Eowyn who was the epitome of warrior women in An Tir. She was renown for her prowess in heavy fighting, fencing and archery.

We hold this event every other year, so don’t miss out on this one! Merchants are welcome.
