Event details

Good Gentles, it is that time of year again to come together and dance the night away.  Barony of the Bridge is also hosting the investiture of the new Baron/Baroness.

We will once again be at the gorgeous Camp Hoffman in South Kingstown RI.  If possible, please carpool as onsite parking is limited.  We will have our shuttle service again this year for overflow parking at West Kingston elementary school just down the road.

Dayboard will be pre-registered only

Populace is asked to please bring a dessert to share during the ball.

Lord Maurin Lessault is planning dance sets that will entice both the most experienced and novice dancer.  There will be dance instruction throughout the day to familiarize attendees with the dances to be performed at the ball.  The amazing Waytes of Carolingia will bring their skill with wind and string to delight the dancers.
