Toys for Tots Tourney

December 15

The Canton of Falcon Cree invites the populace of Atlantia to attend this year's fifth annual Toys for Tots Tourney. The day's events will consist of a heavy weapons style tourney, rapier combat, arts and sciences competition and children's activities.

The heavy weapons tourney will be a style tourney. The shield and weapon portion will be double elimination. The great weapon, pole weapon and dual weapon will be single elimination. The winner of each style will fight in that style against the other winners for the Toys for Tots Championship Sword. Each style entered will require donation of one toy of approximately $10 value.

There will be two categories in the arts and sciences competition. One will be for the best handmade Medieval Toy or Game (that has not won in a previous year), and the other is an Open category. A prize will be awarded for the best entry in each category. Each entry will require donation of one toy of approximately $10 value.

The children's activities will consist of a variety of games and contests. Benevolence of spirit should be instilled in the children of Atlantia. We would therefore like to see the children contribute toys to the less fortunate. These contributions should not be centered on expense but on the idea of charity.

The entry fee for each person attending this event is the donation of a toy. This is not in addition to any toys donated in order to enter one of the competitions. These toys should be new, unwrapped and of approximately a $10 value. The entrance fee for each contest will also be a new toy. The donations will be presented to a Marine Corps representative at court. The Marine Corps will distribute the toys to less fortunate children for Christmas.

Dinner will be at Quincy's on Haywood Road following the event for any gentles interested.

Please remember that this is a public demo. All armor should be in good repair. No rusty, broken, or duct taped armor will be allowed. At the request of the heralds of Nottinghill Coill, please bring and display your heraldry to add to the ambiance of our event.
