There are no age restrictions to being a Waterbearer! However, you must:

Social Gatherings & The Falcon’s Revel
This year we have a new gathering place for social events called “The Falcon’s Revel“. It will be located down on the point, (where we usually gather to watch the fireworks and the Barony of Three Rivers (B3R) party is held). This is a call back to Lilies of old, where many of the official evening social gatherings were held down at the bonfire. Some of our biggest and best events will be held there this War:
- Monday 9th – Lost Moor Party
- Tuesday 10th – Tor Tuesday
- Wednesday 11th – Known World BBQ Competition & Family Games Night / Bardi-Gras
- Friday 13th – All Baronies Fireworks Party / Fireworks / Hafla
Other awesome social events not held in the Falcon’s Revel (but that you should totally attend)
- Saturday 7th – Newcomer’s Social – Newcomer’s Glen
- Sunday 8th – Blue Feather Social – Permanent Pavilion by Battlefield
