[Ansteorra-announce] Top Scores @ Kingdom A&S

[Brian & Pam Martin]

Greetings Ansteorra from the Kingdom Minister of Arts & Sciences,
Sorry for the delay (technical difficulties).  Congratulations are due to
all of the artisans who entered Kingdom Arts & Sciences this year.  It takes
a brave artisan to place their art work out for display, along with their
research, and allow others to judge it.    It's our equivalent to Crown
Tournament and is a real tribute to the artisans that they, like the other
fighters,  are honorable in both giving commentary (hitting with the
appropriate calibration), and calling their blows (being gracious with the
scores received).   I commend all of the artisans this year for their
beautiful artwork and honor shown upon the field.
 
It is custom in Ansteorra to recognize those artisan who score a 40 or
better in the competition with a pilgrim medallion from that competition.
This year's medallion was a castle, in tribute to the hosting group
(Elfsea), with the A&S arch and candle in the entrance.  Please give a
hearty congratulations to the following artisans who scored a 40 or
better..........................
