Good morning from site at BYOM (Bring Your Own Marshal) XIX !

Directional SCA signs were placed yesterday evening, and we have taken into consideration the suggestion (from many) to add an SCA sign at the end of the driveway (on the mailbox) near our Trakai Forest sign, to make site easier to find!

The list field, archery range, and thrown weapons range have all been recently mowed. The firepit cleaned and waiting for stories, song, food, and drink to be shared around it. The camping zones cleared and ready for tents to be set up.

Site opens in just over an hour, and the Shire of Vilku Urvas are so excited for you to join us! As always, please remember to B.Y.O.M (Marshals, meals, mead, music, etc.)!

*the Autocrat and Deputy Autocrat are both on site- and willing to help with any questions, and assist you in finding a place for you to set up camp, whenever you arrive!

We are only a week away from BYOM (Bring Your Own Marshal) XIX What does that mean for our Shire? Well, our Shire member...

We are only a week away from BYOM (Bring Your Own Marshal) XIX

What does that mean for our Shire?
Well, our Shire members are hard at work, making sure that our site is ready- downed trees have been cleared, water lines connected, portas ordered, and camping spaces have been prepared!

What does that mean for you?
That means you, you lucky duck, get to show up and set up your camp in a recently cleared and prepared site!

Our list field will be freshly mowed, our archery range recently cleared of downed trees, our firewood pile restocked, and our firepit recently cleaned!

Site opens Noon on Friday the 18th (if you are planning on arriving early, please let me know), and closes Noon on Sunday the 20th!

Site is WET.
Site is accessible.
Firewood is provided.

As always, B.Y.O.M! (Marshals, mead, music, meals, materials, and any other M's you can think of.)

We can't wait to see you!

In just 2 short weeks, it will be time again for the Shire of Vilku Urvas 's annual event, BYOM (Bring Your Own Marshal)...

In just 2 short weeks, it will be time again for the Shire of Vilku Urvas 's annual event, BYOM (Bring Your Own Marshal) XIX !

BYOM is a small camping event in Northern MN, from Friday, August 18th to Sunday, August 20th!
Our site has a list field, an archery range, and a thrown weapons range! We have trails for woods battles!
(We do not have the space to accommodate seige or equestrian!)

This year, our regularly attending archery marshalls and MIT all have mundane life things happening- so WE ARE LOOKING FOR ANY MARSHALLS (heavy, rapier, archery, thrown) who are willing to come out and run their own things!
Since BYOM is small, it is a great event for MITs who are just starting, giving them a chance to get their feet wet with a smaller, more controlled group, and get their first signatures!

Invite your friends! Invite your marshalls! Invite that new friend who hasn't yet gotten to an SCA event or that Shire member who hasn't been to an event post-Covid and wants to ease back in!

SITE IS PET FRIENDLY, WHEELCHAIR AND WALKER ACCESSIBLE, AND WET (alcohol allowed)!
Firewood provided by site.

For any questions, please reach out to me here on Facebook (at either account), by email, or phone (listed on kingdom site or on the event page!)
