| The Baron's Brouhaha II is a
fun-filled weekend of camping, combat, and celebrating. The event
is hosted by the Incipient Canton of Northgeatham (sponsored by the
Barony of Ramshaven). The site opens Friday @ 4pm, Aug 21, 2015 and
runs until Sunday afternoon, August 23. There will lots of armoured
combat, rapier, thrown weapons and archery. The barn will be a
great spot for artisan activities. For those wishing to
participate, there will be a pot-luck feast on Saturday night.
Bardic circles will happen on both nights. During the weekend there
will be an ongoing game called Settlers of the Ram that will be
easy to participate in. Prizes will be drawn on Saturday night.
The site is located on a 5 acre farm that is owned by Baron
Penda and Baroness Sibylla of Ramshaven. Most of the camping
activities will be centralised around a large barn. It will serve
as a shelter from the elements in the event of rain or wind. It
will also be a place for crafts and feasting. A part of it might
also be used for rapier if the weather is poor. The site has lots
of space for camping, large scale melee, thrown weapons and
archery. There is potable water available and the barn has
electricity if you need it.

Site Opens at 4pm. Bring your tent and get
setup for a weekend of camping. As folks from last year know, it
can be windy at the site, so make sure you can stake your tent
down. This year we have moved camper between the barn and driving
shed, which should provide more shelter.

Once again we will be running a card game called
Settlers of the Ram. You start off with 5 cards, and can collect
more by partaking in activities such as thrown weapons, classes
etc. Trading cards is also encouraged. There will be four prizes
that people can win. If you trade in three cards, you will get a
ballot and can enter it for one of the prizes. Enter as many times
as you like. Just before the Bardic Circle we will draw the
ballots and announce the winners.
Prizes: in the works...

| Sunday Penda will start up the forge and interested folks can hammer out a small project |

There are not a lot of rules, but please read
these over:
We ask that folks do not dig their own fire
pits on site, but rather use the large common fire pit and wood
provided. Portable fire pits are fine to bring along.
This is a wet site, so BYOB and have a good time. There will
be no departure from site if you are under the influence. There are two honey bee hives on the
property.
Bees are active at this time of year and focused
on gathering nectar. They are normally not aggressive towards
humans unless provoked. If you are allergic this is something to
consider before attending. Barriers will be put up to caution
people about the bees, but they will not be contained. Penda is
happy to show people show the hives for those who are curious.
