Attention Rapier Fighters :

The Shire of Tymberhavene would like to send out a special invitation to all rapier fighters. We are pleased to offer for the first time a Rapier Defenders Tournament.   All able-bodied and authorized fighters are encouraged to attend and compete for this honor.  

In order to entice fighters to travel to our fair lands we are offering may tempting prizes and awards.  The winner will receive the Rapier Defenders Cloak.  Second place will receive a choice of a period drinking mug, a wooden chest or a wooden buckler. Third gets 3rd choice and so on. 

Also to further encourage participation, the winner will be offered first choice of either a custom made fencing doublet or a custom made fencing shirt (both in your choice of color and fabric). Second place gets second choice.  NOTE : There must be a minimum of 5 fighters  for  custom clothing!  So bring your fencing friends!   

Come and show your skill and celebrate with us at our annual Tymberhavene Birthday Bash held October 3-5 at West Laverne Park located in Coquille, Oregon.  For directions, pre-registration, or other information visit our website at    http://www.freewebs.com/tymberhavene/birthdaybash.htm  

Please forward this email to all rapier fighters on your mailing list.  Please post to your local branch website or SCA yahoo group.  

In Service,  Custanzia Deerhurst of Tymberhavene
