100 Minutes War

As winter's woeful song begins to sweep across our beautiful shire once again, our thoughts turn to friends, a warm fire and War!  The very beautiful Shire of Rusted Woodlands is delighted to invite the valiant warriors, learned artisans, and good Gentles of The East Kingdom as well as her beloved cousins from far off lands as well as close neighbors to test their mettle once again at the glorious battle we call The 100 Minutes War. 

Pets are not allowed on site.  Service animals (licensed, and vaccinated) are, of course, permitted.  The main hall and immediate area are accessible.  Attendees are allowed to bring their own adult beverages (i.e.  this is a wet site).

** Masks continue to be absolutely welcome in the Hall and grounds if you feel more comfortable wearing them.  We do implore you, if you are feeling unwell to please stay home.  Testing before attending is encouraged if possible.  We would love to see you but would also celebrate seeing you some other time when we are all well.**

We ask that you park at a safe distance from one another.  There is plenty of parking available.  A limited number of spaces near the hall will be set aside for those cars displaying valid handicapped license plates or placards.  Please be considerate of your other parking friends and mindful of your decisions.  The parking lot is a grass lot and may have muddy spots due to weather.  Sadly we have no control over the myriad different types of weather we may or may not have this time of year in the East Kingdom, so we respectfully request using your best and most considerate decisions. 

****UPDATE****We will be holding a food drive.  All contributions of shelf-stable food (no glass containers, please) will be donated to a food bank in northern NJ.  Collection boxes will be located at the field Troll and at Troll in the main hall.  Thanks in advance for your generosity.****

Our schedule is as follows.  Times may shift depending on attendance levels and warriors present.
Site opens at 8:30.  There will be a marshal's meeting at 9:30 (see details below).  Morning court is between 9:30 and 10 AM, location TBA, and there may be traveling courts as well depending on Royal preferences.

A 9:30 AM meeting has been scheduled by the honorable Sir Reinhart Basarab Draculesti, EK Earl Marshal, for ALL MARSHALS OF ALL MARTIAL DISCIPLINES.  Location:  TBA.  The site is opening early to accommodate this meeting; pre-registering will speed your entry.  Thank you for your time and cooperation. 

Due to the popularity of this event, we do ask that all combatants be armored and ready to fight at the scheduled time.  We also ask that you get in as early as possible and get inspected before making your way to the list and the MOL.  If you're not properly inspected, you will not be able to fight.  As traditional people may troll in at the main hall or near the parking lots.  This field troll is co-located with the MOL to efficiently check heavy weapons authorizations.
