[MR] St Pyrs Cancelled May 13

[Dionello at cox.net]

Due to several reasons, including low pre-registration numbers, St Pyrs (May
13) has been cancelled this year.  We invite you to attend our Barony's
event Black Prince the following weekend (May 19-21).  We are working to
have many of our classes moved to that event.  I have included information
on Black Prince with this e-mail.  Many thanks for your support,  Dionello
