Our Beautiful Mermaid sits high and dry, so please come and join the Shire of False Isle in celebrating her beautiful new home at our Stranded Mermaid. We will be having competitions for archery, rapier, heavy fighting, heraldry, A&S and bardic. Please note that this the new camping site and not our previous waterfront site.  There will be pre-registration available; the deadline for pre-registration is June 30th, 2008.
