trencher ideas, Labours of the Months

[ppfuf]

One of the common themes on fruit trenchers and other small decorative elements in renaissance England is the Labours of the Months (LotM). The LotMs are sets of 12, each month depicted by the typical agricultural activity that takes place in that month. I am thinking it might be fun to make a set of trenchers depicting the 12 Months of SCA Activities.
If you had to choose 12 SCA activities on a yearly cycle to depict with a small picture and verse, what would you choose? Do you have any suggestions on what images might go with which events? Answers need not limited to the suggestions below, which are very West Kingdom-centric; nor do they need to stay in the presented order:
1. Beltaine
2. Generic (local group) Heavy fighter Tournament
3. June Crown
4. West/An Tir war
5. A&S
6. Generic (local group) Rapier Tournament
7. Pennsic
8. Purgatorio
9. October Crown
10. Collegium
11. Great Western war
12. Generic (local group) Feast
13. 12th night
14. Estrella war
15. Generic (local group) Archery Tournament
16. March Crown

aren't bardic arts and music pretty much the same? (asks she who neither plays nor sings nor recites poetry)

I don't really know. I think of bardic as vocal arts (story-telling, poetry, singing) and music as instrumental music. When I was thinking of the pictures to use, I was thinking of a bardic circle for the bardic arts, and musicians on a stage for music.

Not all Bards are Musicians, and not all Musicians are Bards :-)
