-------------------------------------------------------------
There were other awards given out, but as I said, I am doing this from 
memory after only one cup of coffee.  Please forgive any mistakes or 
misspellings.
Sir Keif was asked to be the Chivalric Champion of Bryn Gwlad and Ld. 
Piet Rausch became the Rapier Champion.  Baron Pendaron gave an axe to 
the fighter that performed the most heroic act on the Chivalric field. 
 He was unable to decide between Lord Timo and Lady Vannora (of 
Elfsea!).  They were both asked to explain to the court why the other 
person should recieve the axe.  Lord Timo convinced His Excellency to 
give the axe to Lady Vannora based on her valiant fighting against 
overwhelming odds, because "that's what Heroes do".

The whole event was awesome - the weather on Saturday; the fighting 
both Duello and Chivlaric; the courts with the music and the 
entertainment; the feast for the Landed nobles, the Champions of Bryn 
Gwlad, the past Barons and Baronesses of Bryn Gwlad, and the Crown; 
the A & S Pentathalon, the Bardic Fire, the revelling.

The Pentathalon was a Hoot!! All of the contestants had a blast. 
 There were excellent teachers.  Those of us who were in the Dance 
class willl never be the same - "IN, OUT,IN, OUT......"

A special Thanks to Master Thomas of Tenby, Lion of Ansteorra, for 
Teaching the Performance class and sharing his favorite stories with 
us.

Indeed, there are many more details which flood my mind and would 
share, but I must go to my studies.  This event made me proud to be 
from Bryn Gwlad and Elfsea, but most of all, to be an Ansteorran.
