The Hartwood Bardic Championship:
A word about our Bardic Championship competition, from our current Champion, 
Lady Gwynafel Farleigh:

Hello Gentle Populace!

Lords and Ladies, Yule is once again upon us, and as such, my tenure as 
Bardic Champion of Hartwood is coming to an end. This means there must be a 
Competition to see who can take the position from me!

I call upon all that would challenge me to attend this great event and bring 
forward your Filks to inspire the populace to vote for you!

What is a Filk you ask? A Filk is an old tradition of taking a favoured tune 
and put your OWN words to it.
An example is Row, Row, Row your boat. New words: Chop, chop, chop our 
foe..... you get the idea.

The rules:
1. The tune must be one that is recognizable.
2. You must perform at least 3 verses
3. It must have the word Hartwood in it.

Do you think you can take the Bardic Candle from me? I DARE you to try.

I hope to see you there! Please contact me at wmaiuro at telus.net by November 
24, if you intend to compete so that I know how many we have AND how to 
space the competitors.
