[MR] St. Aiden't Melee College - report

[abelofregnesfolc at aol.com]

We hada great time with over 100 people attending and about 60 fighters on the field at the same time. Next year we plan to recruit even more heavy fighters. The event delivered over 7 hours of fighting before everybody was too tired to continue. We had over 9 grand melees, a woods battle and a bridge. 

This year marked the first time we added camping and rapier to the event; sure enough they were a hit and will be back for next year. 
 
The event couldn't have happened without our co-autocratsthe Honorable Lord Kollack von Zweckel and Sayyida Baska. The event staff wasledby Lady Tirzah MacCrudden and Dame Brenna of Storvik. Of course the Sergeantsof St. Aiden marshaled and took the field against all challengers. Special thanks to Sir Tacius Severian Fabius for his impromptu FieldMarshalling class, Baron Jonathas Reinisch for siege instruction, and Gregor vonLeipzig for combat archery authorizations.


For those that attended: what did you like best and how could we improve for next year?

Yours in service,
Abel
