St John's of 2016 - Home Fire's Burning
Bookings have now closed!
Thank you to those who have booked and paid already I will be sending follow up emails over the next few days regarding your booking and relevant details about the event.
Remember to check out updates on the St John webpage too.
Welcome to St John - a weekend of medieval combat, archery and friends new and old gathering on the slopes of Mt Pirongia.
Book here to join the Cluain populace who once again will decamp to the Lodge to fight for the Peacock and the Relic, to teach, learn, partake in the Arts & Sciences, and all to socialise with excellent food, fine entertainment, and the best company for miles.
Date: 4pm Friday 22 July to 4pm Sunday 24 July 2016
Location: Pirongia Forest Park Lodge, 297 Grey Road, Pirongia (near Te Awamutu), New Zealand.
What better time to discuss such heavy and important thoughts than in the homes scattered across Europe. Join us in a homeland theme across the lands as we debate the merits of pilgrimage, explore options of taking up arms in the Holy Land, and to prime for battle by competing for the Golden Peacock and the legendary Relic and the Golden arrow.
We look forward to seeing you there!
