Heavy Fight Practice January 20

Hello,
The forecast for the weekend is for somewhere between 2 inches, and 8 inches, of snow. Given the wide range in possibilities, I will be looking at the situation on Sunday morning. I will be sending out a message before noon on Sunday to let you all know if there will be practice or not. Please check back then.

New Baronial Champions!

Choosing Baronial Champions is always difficult, particularly for the peaceful arts. This past Saturday at 12th Night, our Artisans, Scientists and Bards came out in force, and showered the Barony with their gifts of art.

The Baronial Bardic Competition had a record 11 entrants, and had the audience in tears of both sorrow and laughter. The Arts & Sciences Display was a wonder to behold, and included beginners to Laurels, some very impressive documentation, and all the works displayed were representative of the talent of our bright A&S Community. Without further ado:

Your New Baronial Bard: Lady Beatrix of Anglesey
Seconded by: Brehyres Gwendolyn the Graceful

Your New A&S Champion: Lady Aurelia Argentia Prima
Seconded by: The Honorable Lady Rachel Dalicieux

Vivant the New Champions, seconds, outgoing Champions (Mistress Fredeburg and Mistress Arianna), and all those gentles who put themselves forth for consideration!

In Levitate et Caritate, and Cheers,
Baron Brandubh and Baroness Hilda

To our Baron and Baroness, Brandubh and Hilderun, for their support and assistance during the event.

To The BMDL Choir for always making the event for me an so many with their gorgeous voices and wonderful songs.

To i Genisii, the greatest comedia del arte troupe of the known world, for running a playdate and putting together the court of misrule. It wouldn’t be Twelfth Night without our fools of the court.

Ronnan O Connal, did an excellent job running troll. And a special thanks to his helpers as well.
