<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings Ansteorra,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Shire of Rosenfeld did a wonderful job hosting
the Competition. Thanks to HL Vara and Mistress Rhiannon for stewarding
the event and to their outstanding crew.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanks go to my fabulous pit crew: Mistress
Rose and Master Geoff for helping with registration and photography; HL
Elizabetta for registration, accepting judging forms and handing them back out
again and for bringing us lunch; HE Iago for setting up the spreadsheet, data
entry and printing the results in an easy to understand format and to Lord
Briathel for making the wonderful artisans' tokens for those who scored 40 and
above. Their efforts made mine a hundred times easier. I was
addlepated when I forgot to thank them in court. My
apologies.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks also go to Mistress Gwyneth for giving me
the opportunity to do something I so love: organize stuff. Thank you
to the Crown for Their attendance, interest and participation in the
Arts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My sincerest thanks to the artisans and the
judges. The artisans worked very hard to get their projects
ready for the Competition, and the judges worked hard to judge sometimes
difficult pieces to the best of their abilities.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On to the results of the Competition.
