Strawberry Raid V will host another tournament this year for our fighters. Though not coronet, this tournament serves an equally noble cause. Both armoured and rapier fighters can participate.

Each competitor is asked to donate at least 10 euro as a fee to enter the tournament, payable either directly on the ICS website or in cash or via Revolut at the event. All entrants must pre-register using the form or at the event up to the evening before the tournament. Please note that the pre-registration form requires you to sign in to Google, so if you don’t have a Google account, please email agneslaverte@gmail.com instead.

Depending on the number of entrants, we will run the armoured and rapier lists either simultaneously but taking turns (an armoured pair followed by a rapier pair, and so on), or, if this is not possible, one list after another. If you wish to compete in both lists, please indicate this in the pre-registration and we will try to accommodate this.

The top 4 fighters in each list will be offered a choice of prizes donated by our artisans and other members of our community.

We will aim to have this tournament on Saturday in order to enable as many people to participate or spectate as possible.

We ask those who would enter the lists to demonstrate their prowess and chivalry for the sake of those who are ill and those who work to care for them, to do so with shining helms and flowing banners, and with joy and laughter in their hearts.

And we ask as many of the gathered nobles and gentles as possible to come watch these great deeds of arms, and to celebrate the fire of life.
