The Baronial A&S competitions are open to any gentle in River Haven or Neighbouring groups.  Every 6 months the Barony sets A&S Competitions to encourage members to learn new skills or challenge themselves in areas they are passionate about.

Once competition category is set, people willing to enter will need to find a period item to suit the category.  Research this item, look into what materials and methods were use to produce this item.

We understand that not all period materials are available so modern versions of materials are able to be used.   We encourage entrants to be as period as possible but within their means.

What happens in a Baronial A&S Competitions

September Baronial A&S (2018)

  • Heraldic.  Any display of heraldry in a period form.  This gives great scope for your imagination.
  • Illumination. Again, a very open category allowing a broad scope.
  • An item your Persona would Wear or Use.  Another broad category which will provide the maker with a useful piece of garb or kit.

 

Red And White 2018 (16th February)

Category 1. ” Red and White”. Open to your own interpretation. Have fun with it.

Category 2. “East” This could be Eastern European, Middle Eastern, Oriental. Would even accept East Anglican, as long as there is something Eastern about it.

Category 3. “Sweet” a cold dessert suitable for serving on the picnic table after the feast. You will need to make some small tasters for the 3 judges as well. Or go all out and create an amazing soteltie (with tasters) if you wish.

 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask – either at A&S or via e-mail or Facebook message.
