November Crown AS53 (2018)

Join us on 10 and 11 November 2018 at the Nell Wilson Pavillion, Wodonga Racecourse, Wodonga Victoria to witness the contest among those who would serve this Kingdom as King and Queen.

More details to come soon, but here is the preliminary information to enable you to start planning and booking.  Please send any enquiries regarding this event email the steward at novembercrown2018@gmail.com

The event will be styled in the form of the Renaissance in Europe, with travellers welcome to share in the splendour and delights of that time.

The major focus of the event is, of course, the Crown Tournament.   This will be followed by a magnificent Victory Feast.  There will also be markets, entertainment, games and of course the meetings that keep our fine Kingdom progressing.

To ensure that the Crown Tournament is given the priority it deserves, the gate will be closed at 1.15 pm on Saturday and will not open again until the conclusion of the Tournament.
