On the weekend of 14, 15 & 16 March 2014, The RF.com group will be holding its RenDevous at the Bay Area Renaissance Faire in Tampa, FL. That same weekend there will be the 2nd National Family Gathering of the Irish Penny Brigade, St Molden's Day Group, a reunion of the Ettes & Teers, a call for the long lost RennFaire Chasers to meet, with invasions planned by members of the DoRT's, the Dandys and the Otters. There are also invitations out to several other groups to see if they could coordinate their invasions to coincide with this grand event. If you have not received an invite as of yet, and would like your group to be a part of this Invasion of Invasions please send TJ Cellery a pm.

Friday Night Meet and Greet will be held at PJ Dolan's Irish Pub (2836 E Bearss Ave, Tampa, FL 33613), about five minutes from faire, from 5-9 pm on Friday, March 14.
