Numenor Fall Opener August 28th

Postby Angelus Phoenix » Fri Jul 30, 2010 12:12 pm

It looks like it's getting to be that time again...

Numenor's Fall Opener will be held on August 28th at the Japan House. Weapon's Check will commence at 10:00am. Like earlier this year, there will be no event fee, but donations are greatly appreciated.

There will be 2 sets of tourneys: a vet portion and newb portion. There will be a sword and board, florentine, and single blue tourney for both vets and newbs. Vets will have an archery and red tournament available. There will also be a two man tourney, which will combine teams based upon years in fighting.

Lastly, food will be provided.

For more information, please either post here, send an email to numenor.web@gmail.com, or check out numenor.info (waivers are there).

NB: Rules regarding minors. The minimum age to fight is 16. ALL 16 & 17 year olds need a signed, notarized waiver as well as a government-issued ID.

Directions to the Japan House:

Take I74 to Lincoln (the exit immediately after Neil) and head South. Continue down Lincoln until you reach Florida (it's about 2 miles from the exit and is a 4-way intersection with a stoplight). Stay on Lincoln; on your left will be a big open field, and on the right will be soccer fields. Keep straight until you see a parking lot on your left. Turn into that parking lot or if all the spots are taken, park on the street and walk through the treeline eastward.

Man, I always want to go to this but it's always so close to KG&C. I know you guys don't have much control, but :(

Doesn't mean you can't come Jimmy. Isn't KGC near you and wouldn't you agree that more good fighting equals more merriment?

Three hour drive, one week apart. Not a valid reason to miss it.

I know there was valid reasoning in there somewhere, but for whatever reason, it read like, "Hey, come to ours, but there's no way I'm coming to yours."

I'm still trying to understand why this is called an opener halfway through the fighting season...

Numenor practices year round ,so the season doesn't end ,but this at the beginning of school year, so it opens the School year and recruits new member.

Yea we have two openers each year. The first one is when the school year starts and the second is when we go back outside when spring starts.

I'd be there if it wasn't a 14 hour round trip. Good luck with it, guys.
