> The Tournament of the Golden Rose turned out to be an
> interesting
> time!  We had dire threats of bad weather, almost a
> fatality for a day
> shade - hopefully easily repaired, and the high and
> variable winds
> that Our Archers just love :)
> 
> Overall the day proved to be an excellent example of
> pageantry,
> chivalry and an exceptionally high quality of
> fighting.  During those
> periods when I wasn't Marshalling in the heavy list I also
> was lucky
> enough to be able to watch Our Rapier fighters (far more
> often than
> you would think - we had 9 marshals in the heavy
> list).  Really, it
> was a fantastic treat to observe the courtesy and skill
> displayed by
> ALL the fighters from Our Barony - it made Us proud to be a
> part of
> this fantastic Barony.

> After the tournament was complete the Queen gave out a few
> awards.
> Please congratulate Lord Uilleam Gillecrist Ross on his
> AoA.  Mistress
> Cunien is also to be commended on her efforts.  The

> smitten with the Spike on her helm and awarded her the
> Banner of
> Pageantry.

> Our thanks to everyone that came to the event, we had a

> ripped through
> the trees on I-64 at Williamsburg and hope to see folks at
> the new
> comers meeting Friday.
> 
> Heavy practice on Sunday was also fun.  We had twice
> as many armored
> fighters there as the previous week, the weather was
> perfect for
> fighting and if you weren't there you didn't get a change
> to play the
> new Baronial Game:  Break off a piece of the Barons
