The College of Saint Artemas would like to cordially invite the populace to join us in celebrating our 23rd anniversary! The event will take place on Saturday, April 16, 2011, at the beautiful Stonehenge park on UCSD campus, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093. The day's entertainments will include heavy weapons, rapier, and unarmored combat tournaments. Lord John of Sudwell will be running an archery tournament with a number of competitions and novelty shoots (details below). There will also be youth combat.
Taxes have continued to rise alongside students' grumblings... keep your eyes and ears open in case a riot occurs!
Our lunch feast this year, courtesy of Lady Seraphina Lilje and Lord Willen de Creek,
will be held on-site for a meager request of $5.
Menu:
Eggs pickled with onions and garlic in white and balsamic vinegar; a vegetable and lemon soup as well as a leek soup with pork and
apple; grilled chicken in a sesame and date sauce; side salad; Lady Lilje's (soon to be) Famous (or perhaps infamous) freshly prepared
Doormice; and for desert, a fine Riot Bread Pudding (please excuse the grass and bloodstains).
All items subject to change as the availability of fresh groceries varies, or at the whim of the cook!
We will also be holding our annual fund-raising arts auction; this auction will start as a silent auction and wrap up as a live auction before closing court. Please contact the event steward at seneschal@saintartemas.org if you would like to donate an item for the auction.
The site fee for the event is $2.00 for members, $7.00 for non-members, and children 6 years old and younger are guests of the college. Please make checks payable to "SCA Inc./ Barony of Calafia." Students of UCSD will not have to pay a site fee.

St. Artemas Championship (Royal Round). All archers shoot an end of six arrows at 40 yards. Scoring is done and the archers shoot another end of six arrows from 30 yards. These arrows are scored and the archers shoot a third end of six arrows, plus a speed-end of as many arrows the archer can shoot in 30 seconds, both at 20 yards. Practice ends will be shot before each scoring end except the speed-end. Scores will be reported to the Kingdom Master of Archers and count toward establishing participants SCA archery ranking. The top scoring archer will proclaimed St. Artemas Champion.
‘William Tell’ Shoot. A styrofoam head with an apple pinned to the top is mounted in front of a body silhouette to represent ‘William Jr.’. Archers are arranged in order by rank, with Novices shooting first at 15 yards, Bowmen at 20, Yeoman at 25, Foresters at 30, Bowmasters at 35, and Royal Bowmasters shooting at 40 yards. One arrow is loosed by each archer in turn. Archers striking the body silhouette or head are eliminated. Once the apple is struck, shooting will continue until the end of the shooting rotation. If two or more archers hit the apple in the same rotation, the winner will be determined by a shoot-off. The closest arrow to the apple during the shootout wins!
Wand Shoot. This very traditional novelty shoot has all archers shooting at a 5 foot long, 1 ˝ inch wide wooden slat (the wand). The participants are handicapped by SCA archery rank with Novices shooting first at 15 yards, Bowmen at 20, Yeoman at 25, Foresters at 30, Bowmasters at 35, and Royal Bowmasters shooting at 40 yards. One arrow is loosed per archer in rotation starting with Novices. The rotation is repeated until the wand is struck. If more than one archer strikes the wand in the same rotation, there is a shoot-off, and the tie broken when archer hits the wand by themself in a single rotation.
Tiered Elimination Shoot. Archers are awarded arrows to shoot based on their SCA archery rank. Novices have six arrows, Bowman have five, Yeoman have four, Foresters have three, Bowmasters have two and Royal Bowmasters have one arrow. Shooting begins at 20 yards with each archer shooting at a 60cm target. The object is to hit the target anywhere for score. Archers with more than one arrow shoot until they score or the run out of arrows. Arrows shot that fail to score are retired and if all arrows are shot without scoring, that archer is eliminated. After the first rotation, archers move back to 25 yards. The next rotation is moved back to 30 yards, then 35 yards, then out to 40 yards. Once at 40 yards the archers remaining stay at that distance, with successive rotations now eliminating the outside color rings on the target as being valid for scoring. This continues, if necessary, down to gold bullseye!
