Rise of the Tuatha De Danann

 

From the Mists of Irish Prehistory come Tales of Heroes, Gods and Monsters to stir the heart and make a warrior long for the clamour of battle.  This Memorial Day Weekend,

The Barony of Wealdsmere invites all and sundry to join us in a long holiday weekend of Competition and Camaraderie as we trace the course of the mythical Tuatha De Danann as they conquer and secure the Emerald Isle. 

 

Throughout the weekend we will determine our Champions for the coming year in all categories (Heavy, Rapier, Archery, Bardic, and Arts and Sciences). 

 

            Fighting will begin with war and melee scenarios on Saturday and continue in Tournament form on Sunday.  As at last year’s Celtic Revolt , there will also be hands-on classes in Arts and Sciences,  Bardic,  Pied Piper and Newcomer activities. 

 

            NEW THIS YEAR, we will enjoy the Hospitality of HL Sgt. Michael of Lancaster on his private property in Northwest Spokane County.  We hope that this will be a vast improvement over the problems we faced at the old site.  Can you say no Merchant surcharge?  We sure can!  How about no more $5-a-day surcharge just to park your car?  Yes! We can say that too!  There is also a massive two-story Tower for both Heavy and Rapier to play with.  Even better, there is a HUGE piece of land adjacent to the property that belongs to the Department of Natural Resources and is available for our use.  This promises to be an event to remember so plan on staying the whole weekend!

Site Info:
Name: Lancaster Estates
6325 Hwy 291
Nine Miles Falls, WA 99026

Directions to Site:

 

 

 

 

Make your best way to Francis in Spokane, WA. (I-90, north on Division from the west, or north on Argonne from the East)

Follow Francis West to Assembly. 

Both streets come together as 9 Mile Road (hwy 291). 

Follow Hwy 291 approximately 12 miles.

You will go through Nine Mile Falls, along the river, up Big Sandy, through Suncrest, down and up Little Sandy, then you will pass two roads on the left, the second being Villier (this is at mile marker 17).  Do not turn here!  Stay on 291 for about 300 more yards, you will see a single driveway on the left.  This is the site.  If you pass it, you'll see the tower and then you'll know that it was definitely the place.  The house is not visible from the road, but if you go down my driveway you'll see it.  It's a log home, so if you see any other kind of house, you're on the wrong driveway. 

SCA signs will be out.

Note that the above Weather and Map information is generated from the site address and can be easily confused. The weather will say if its for the branch or for the site. It will be for the site if the site can be found, but this again is not always the case, and if the site is some distance from the branch then the weather may be different.
