Fall Coronation – 2021 – CANCELLED

UPDATE:

It is with a heavy heart that the Shire of Rokeclif, with approval of Their Royal Majesties and Their Royal Highnesses, have made the decision to cancel Coronation. With the rise of COVID cases in our area and around the kingdom amongst both vaccinated and unvaccinated persons, we do not feel we can safely continue with the event.

Their Royal Majesties will soon be making an announcement about a possible virtual event to replace this.

Payments will be returned to those who have paid in advance. If you paid by check we can mail the check back to you or shred. If you paid via PayPal we will refund that money to you once the funds are released by the kingdom by check. You can contact our exchequer at Alan Raven Hockersmith by email at marcellerous@gmail.com. If you have any questions feel free to email our seneschal at lauraannspringer@yahoo.com.

NOTE: We will follow all current Kingdom, State, CDC, and local COVID guidelines.
As guidelines and restrictions are updated, we will update the event information on this webpage.

Arts & Sciences Queen’s Largesse Competition

1. Each participant will create 10 of the same/similar items to be donated to the Kingdom Largesse. Only one set of 10 per entrant.
2. All (10) items per contestant entered must be displayed in the competition (if possible — this is preferred by Her Highness).
3. The winner of The Populace Vote will get a cool thing (as yet a MYSTERY! Oooooh!)
4. Her Highness will also be choosing her second A & S Champion for the Queen’s Guard from the participants (MAY be the Populace Vote Winner, MAYbe not!)
5. As this is a bone dry site, you should not enter adult beverages, and food is also not accepted.
6. Documentation is optional but if you choose to include it, be sure to take that into consideration when reserving your spot. The space on the provided tables is first come, first served, so keep that in mind when choosing a size for your project. In the event that all provided table space is reserved, you will have the option of bringing your own table, but we won’t start accepting extra tables until after the 12 tables have been filled, keeping available (floor) real estate in mind.
7. The tables are approximately 3’x6′ and they will be divided into halves and quarters.
8. Please keep in mind the portability of largesse. It is for this reason, and to offer space for more creators to participate, that we have chosen not to offer a whole table to any one contributor.
9. To register for the competition, please send an email to: Lady Jelena Pagani jelena.pagani1986@gmail.com with
   1. Your SCA name
   2. Your desired display size (1/4, 1/2, 3/4)
   3. You don’t have to say what you’re making
   4. You do not have to be present to win
   5. There’s still room for quarter- and half-table spots (most folks should only need a quarter) and reservations are required by no later than 9 September.
   6. Yes! You can send in your entry if you’re unable to attend the event. Please email jelena.pagani1986@gmail.com to confirm and she will give you the address to send your entry. Make sure you mail it in time to arrive by 9 September.
