Bring a small, hand-crafted object to be tied to the tree, and later in the evening pick something that catches your eye to keep.</span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">This year we'll be having a dessert auction, proceeds to go to the Tir Righ Travel Fund. Bring a dessert (if you can) and some cash (definitely bring the cash), and when the time comes band together with your table-mates to bid on something to share.</span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Festive Fashion</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~</span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Have that Green and Red doublet in the back of a closet somewhere? A gown with carbuncle embroidery everyone thinks are snowflakes? Or perhaps you simply enjoy holly-themed accessories? It's time to dig out your favourite Yule-tide best, to show off to the world. Though documentation isn't required, we're a curious bunch and would love to know all about your creation. The winner will be by popular choice later in the evening.</span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Games</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~</span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">The Tables Tourney will be based on a seven player tables variant known as 'Astronomical Tables'. Competitors will be able to come and go throughout the day, challenging others as they feel like without interrupting their socializing. If 7 players cannot be found, the game can be played simply by skipping sections. (Though 7 players is much more fun!) Scores will be based on number of captured pieces over the day.</span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">If you don't know how to play, don't worry! The rules are simple. Cunegonda will be available to explain the rules at any time, but additionally there will be an hour long 'Introduction to Medieval Games' class at 10am which will touch on it.</span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Even if you aren't participating in the Tourney itself, there will be plenty of games available for anyone to play -- or bring your own.</span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Lunch and the Feast</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~</span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Lunch is a bring-your-own affair, and perhaps a little something to share with others. Access to the kitchen will be limited, unfortunately. As always, Tea, Coffee and lemonade will be available throughout the day.</span><br><br>Feast menu will include chicken stew, a beef roast, and hearty winter vegetables. </span></div><div></div></div></body></html>
