The next Canton meeting will be held on Sunday, September 5th, 2010 at 12:30pm.

We are the southern most canton in the Barony of Calafia which itself is the southernmost barony in Kingdom of CAID.

Our area comprises San Diego County south of Highway 94, but we welcome all who wish to become a "Tanweirdo" regardless of where you might happen to hang your hat.

Our council meeting is held at 12:30pm the same day as brigade practise. We usually meet at the Allied Gardens Recreation Center but we have been known to decide to meet elsewhere depending on a number of variables, including a general decision that we just want to meet somewhere else. We're finicky that way. It would be best to contact one of the officers and ask where we're meeting. You can also join our Yahoo! Group where we discuss all our super-secret Tanweirdo stuff, like where we're going to hold our meeting.

The Canton of Tanwayour was first created in the early 1990s, and gained official status in 2000. Each year the Canton sponsors the Talanque Tourney for the Barony of Calafia. The Talanque Tourney honors Calafia's founding Baron. This event is combined with the Canton's Anniversary. The tourney has both heavy and rapier competitions.

We have a recipe from our 1998 Talanque feast.
