OMG  I should be flogged.  I forgot to mention that an act of true heroism
occurred at the Cavalry site.  Sir Vlad FIXED the broken horse trailer/truck
which allowed the Calvary team  to drive themselves home!  His uncommon
valor freed ME up from trying to find a ride home ( to fair South Carolina )
for 2 humans and atleast 2 horses.  Thanks also to all who tried to help me
arrange rides home for the horses an humans.  To Sir Vlad and his rescue
team, VIVAT! VIVAT! VIVAT!

Humbly,
Elizabeth Harlyn, Autocrat, Storvik Novice Tourney

  WOW!

  What a splendid day we had!  Many Many thanks to all who made the Storvik
  Novice Tournament a grand display of the SCA at it's finest!

  Dame Brenna of Storvik and Baroness Johanna Von Sudeborn thanks for all
the
  direction, guidance and shared experience.  Priceless.

  Marshal in Charge  Sir Colin, splendid tournament.  Simply splendid!

  Rapier, Stephen Bridewell, thanks for your patience as I bungled through
  planning and executing my first stab at Autocratting.

  Youth Combat Marshal, William the Younger,  your dedication and hard work
is
  appreciated!

  Archery, I understand there were 27 archers shooting at one point in the
  day!  Vivat!

  MOL- Dame Brenna, you are the best at keeping the list.  You get to meet
ALL
  the fighters....  hmmm  maybe I should look at learning that job!

  A&S, Kim of Wolfshaven as usual your work is fabulous.  There were 13
  entries in the Novice A&S competition. Thanks also for the fabulous Site
  tokens!

  Lady Devora, Feast, really yummy.  As usual, your handmade taste treats
are
  glorious!

  Lady Katherine, Youth Activities, Loved the pool at the end of the day.
Not
  a bored child to be found!

  Lady Tirzah, Lady Orla, Holli, Troll and reservations, job well done.  A
lot
  of people went through troll smoothly and mostly with smiles.  THANK YOU
  THANK YOU THANK YOU

  Lord Frederich Von Teufel, Outgoing Seneschal and general all around good
  man, thanks for the moral support and question answering.

  Lord Pedro, Herald, Much appreciated all that you do.

  All the folks that showed up early Friday to set up.  WE are eternally
  grateful!

  Lord Thor, THL Samara, Lord Karl, Lady Maura, Lord Ludvico *Raven* Hats
off.
  You helped so many places there isn't enough Bandwidth

  Lady Mym, Chiurgeon, (hope I got your title right!)  Thanks for spending
the
  day with us.  Your presence made the event a brigher one!

  Baroness Ysar and Dutchess Katerina, Thank you so much for the simply
  elegant luncheon for Baroness Johanna and the local Baronage.

  Waterbearer, Cicilia, we are eternally grateful for you dedidation the
  keeping the populace and fighters watered.

  Baronies of Ponte Alto, Dun Carrig and Bright Hills, Shire of Spiaggia
  Levantina, we were all thrilled to have such a great turnout from our
  cousins! Dun Carrig, you have inspired us to make a dayshade!

  Wondering when I was getting to the horses weren't you.

  I did not get to meet all the Cavalry folks.  For that I am sad.  I would
  mention everyone by name but I don't know them.  So please all of you
accept
  The Barony of Storvik's grateful thanks for ALL THE HARD WORK!

  The Cavalry Team met with a few unplanned surprises.  The travel to MD was
  peppered with trucks that didnt want to come to MD.  Humans and Horses
  perservered and made it to bring the First Atlantian Cavalry event to us.
I
  will never again complain about setting up my pavilion and putting out my
  cool medieval stuff for a weekend event. If you hear me whining remind me
of
  how much work the Cavalry humans did!

  Baroness Beatrice, there are not enough words to express our gratitude to
  you.  Baroness Bea showed up Friday at 5pm, set up all the Cavalry Games,
  roped off the fields and helped set up the Big Mucking Tent, AFTER driving
a
  huge truck and HUGE horse trailer from South Carolina to MD.  She drove
that
  darn thing like it was a small car. This event would not have happened
  without her.  From planning to execution she was awesome.

  My real life Sister Dee showed up to simply help with the horses and left
  the event Authorized Advanced Cavalry Member.  Yes, she now needs Garb,
  pavilion and a blue card.  She sent for SCA membership today.

  The Populace, Vivat, Vivat, Vivat!  Thanks for coming and making last
  weekend the most attended Storvik Novice Tourney.  I hope you had as good
a
  time as we all did!

  Last but far from least, my Lord/Husband Sean Delamare.  When I stepped up
  to do this event, he shook his head and said, "Do you have any idea how
much
  work this is"  Then he agreed to help.  He listened to my tales of
  Autocratting my first event. He listened to the complicated issues of
  Cavalry at events.  He helped me figure out just who was who and what they
  do.  From raising my hand at a Barony meeting and volunteering to do this
  event, til the end he has helped with everything. Thanks honey, you are
the
  best!

  I do not have complete results with names of all the Tourneys.  As soon as
I
  get a complete list I will post it.

  If I have forgotten anyone please forgive me.

  In service,

  Elizabeth Harlyn, Autocrat, Storvik Novice Tourney 2004

  Sir Vlad, in the truest act of Chivalry he fixed the broken Horse Trailer!
