Leodamus of Thebes Tournament

Greetings Calafia!

It is time again to celebrate one of the great founders of our Barony, Leodamus of Thebes, at our annual Leodamus of Thebes Tournament, on August 2, 2008. Escape the heat at UCSD's shady Stonehenge Park and enjoy a day of Greek fun. The day's activities include Greek-themed heavy weapons and rapier tournaments. There will also be unarmored combat, an archery tournament, and a variety of games and contests.

Every year at the Leodamus tourney, it is Calafia's honor to hold the polling for our Leodamus of Thebes award. Leodamus of Thebes was known as a peacemaker in the barony. This recognition is given in his honor to a Calafian who has put the Barony's needs above his or her own and works to bring divided groups (or individuals) together. This is a special and rarely given honor. All those Calafians who receive the Serpents Tongue (Calafia's newsletter) in their homes will be polled.
