Alhambra Coronation
Skunk Hollow Oliver, BC. .
We have a confirmed site. The site is approximately 15 minutes further north then the Clan Challenge site. This keeps us very close to the US/Canada border crossing. Site address: 34231 91A St., Oliver, BC.
Directions: Make your way to Oliver on Highway 97. From the south, turn right at the first traffic light (south end of the mall, 346th St.) Stay on 346th through the big S curve as it goes past the RCMP station and new fire hall, then around the end of the airport. At the second right, turn right. Go straight along one side of the airport and through a 90 degree turn to the left. Just past the turn, slow down. You'll see a street sign and some ADRIA directional signs right in front of you. You MUST TRUST that there is a real road here, because there is. You just can't see it until you're already committed to it. Doing this will put you onto a very short but steep road. It's about a ten percent grade, but it's paved. Immediately at the bottom of the hill, turn right into the driveway. This is the site. Proceed between the two houses to the troll gate. Site fee is $5.00 for adults and children under 10 free.
The Ducal coronation will be hosted by the Canton of Silvervale, and will coincide with our Monthly Tourney.
This will be the Coronation of the Heirs Apparent, Chevaliere Gabriele Silverhand and An ridire Ruaidhri Argetlam inn Iriskr the Terror of Niflheim, for the Archduchy of Alhambra. The tournies run as part of the Crown festivities will be the trial run for "The Nomads Challenge". Nomads Challenge is the second part of a two part series of Personna Development events that Silvervale will be hosting during the year. There will be a team tourney, challenge tourney, and a Pas d' Armes.
There will be archery, thrown weapons, and A&S as well.

There will be a Gemini Grand Melee for Shinai. The Armoured Tourney will be a Pas D'Armes and the Renn Tourney will follow the theme set forth and have a defenders side and challengers side.
