The Barony of Ben Dunfirth's Murder Melee in the Meadows XXV

JUNE 17 - 20, 2010
Blue Springs Scout Reserve

This year we put the Melee into "Murder Melee" with competitions being organized for every martial activity! We're looking for team competition in Rapier and Armoured combat, Youth combat, Thrown weapons and Archery! Come out to compete, but don't fear - if you don't have a team pre-set before arriving, we'll do pick up teams at the event!

Murder Melee promises to be an event that offers it all: a great site for families and camping, glorious competition in all martial activities and, for the second year, the services of the new Dizzy Dragon tavern for various sumptuous needs. Whether you are training for war or simply enjoying the summer season in wine and song. Murder Melee will not disappoint!

THE 10-MAN MELEE TOURNAMENT!

FIGHTING!   FENCING!   ARCHERY!   THROWN WEAPONS!   MINOR COMBAT!   MERCHANTS!
