The Shire of Narrental invites you to the 30th anniversary of our annual event - Clown Tourney! There will be a host of activities and the annual Courtiers Tournament.
Swap Table: There will be a "swap table" for folks to destash art supplies, fabrics, gently used garb, armor, et cetera. If your closets are as overflowing as ours, please consider sharing the wealth.
For those who will be bringing children not their own: There are TWO forms that you will need to bring for each child. They both need to be signed by the child's parent or legal guardian. ONE MUST BE NOTARIZED per Indiana law.
1) This form needs the notarization and should be kept with the child at all times: http://www.sca.org/docs/pdf/treatminor-notary.pdf
2) This form is the usual Minor Waiver: http://www.sca.org/docs/pdf/chldwaiv.pdf.
PLEASE have both these forms filled out and signed/notarized where appropriate for each child you will be bringing that you are not the parent or legal guardian of. This requirement is out of our control and the children affected will not be allowed to attend if they are not completed properly before arrival. Thank you.
