	Lyonesse was our first event (we'd been to fighter practice one
time preceding the event!), last year, and was truly what hooked us into
the SCA. It was *incredible*. We naively thought that all SCA events were

'the Dream', for us anyway. I would recommend the drive to anyone who has
not attended it.
