[Archers] Archers Digest, Vol 88, Issue 23

[Holly Gibbons]

Greetings to all our archery friends!

I must add to the general happiness over the Atlantian team win in the EGADS 
competition! You should all know ......

.....  that Lady Davina scored the two winning balloon hits and Baroness Dealla 
drove fiercely the wild car that confounded our opponents, both of which led to 
our incredibly exciting novelty shoot win in the balloon car challenge. Watch 
out, Atlantia, the balloon cars are coming!

...... that THL Lorelei was a mere point or two off the top score and should 
rightly share in any glory. From the first mention of this challenge to the 
tearful goodbyes at the end, Lorelei was our fearless leader, joyful companion, 
clever and steadfast fellow archer and friend. 


...... that Lord Geoffrey gamely drove, carried, fetched, filled glasses and 
found arrows, all while shooting magnificently and completely charming all the 
small children. 


We are so proud to be a part of this great Kingdom and to have had the chance to 
represent Atlantia. I must add that we made many new friends and found the 
people of the Mid Realm happy and kind and gracious in their hospitality. They 
say "Hoobah" insterad of "Vivat" and they have a dragon that translates for the 
dragon-impaired as the King talks, but other than these strange customs of a 
strange land, we felt right at home!

Next year I hope you will all travel with us as we return westward. Vivat 
Archery!
