[MR] Crown Thanks

[Christy Dollymore]

Greetings Atlantia!

 

With sincere humility, I thank TRM's Brian and Brianna for trusting me with
organizing Their Crown Tournament.  I hope the day was all you envisioned!

 

Vivant Vlad and Kalisa, new heirs to the Throne of Atlantia!  It was a
fabulous tourney with many heart stopping moments! 

 

What a spectacular day we had!  39 tents on the list field, 30 + combatants
on the Crown list!  Stunning display of heraldry everywhere!  460 gentles
checked in at Troll!! The skies threatened rain all day.. we never got rain,
just a fabulous breeze that made all the silk banners flutter beautifully.

 

It is with gratitude that we thank the Barony of Storvik and her people for
letting us use their site and providing many of the gentles who physically
put the event together.  Special thanks to Lady Orla who day tripped the
event and spent most of it washing dishes.  Thank you, Thank you,  Thank
you.  

 

Many thanks to Lady Tirzah and her most splendid kitchen staff.
Unbelievable food was at hand all through the day.  As always, the food was
wonderful!  Planning and executing essentially an all day feast requires a
huge amount of organization and commitment.  Lady Tirzah and her exquisite
staff conquered the challenges of a really primitive cooking site,
flawlessly.  Thank you all for your hard work and commitment.

 

Hats off to Baroness Medb, head troll.  Thanks to all who worked shifts at
the gate.  It is my understanding that many good gentles from the Barony of
Lochmere were at hand to help.  Vivant Lochmere and all the folks who
pitched in!

 

Thanks to the Barony of Dun Carraig for bringing the list fence!  We were
mapping the field Friday evening, when we finished marking it all off, as if
on cue, Baron Ragnarr and Baroness Lynette drove in with the fence. Thank
you Dun Carraig for all your help preparing for the day.

 

Extra special thanks to my Peer, Countess Aryanna Hawkyns for keeping me
focused and on task!  

 

To my Baron/husband, Sean Delamara.  Thank you for the countless hours of
work before, during and after the event.  Not only did he pack, unpack, set
up, break down, paint signs, prepare kitchen infrastructure and keep me
sane, he fought for me in the Tournament.   He has the heart of a warrior,
on and off the field!  My vision for the event was polished by Sean.  He
made sure everything I wanted got done! Love you Sheckey!

 

Again, thanks to the populace of Atlantia for turning out in force and
creating an absolutely stunning day!
