[Ansteorra] Re: Happenings at Guardian

[Epperson, Sheryl]

Greetings unto the list.

I would first like to thank Mooneschadowe for a very delightful event.  The
site was an attractive working ranch, and there were llamas who ranged in
the area near the archery shoot.

Personally I would like to thank both Lord Owen ap Aeddan and HL Toinette de
Cambrai for recognizing my son Alan for his efforts at wrestling and
archery.  On Friday night, the adults wrestled for awhile, and then let the
children take the field.  It was generous of Owen to recognize both Alan and
the young lady who competed.  However, he neglected to mention that his son
Terric was the third young competitor, and it was only chance that time was
called when Alan held the field.  Alan is 6, and thoroughly enjoyed being
called into court and named the champion.  On the archery field, no-one
seemed to object or be condescending to Alan joining the adults in the
shoot, and his score (3), was far better than his father (-13).  The William
Tell shoot made it interesting to those of us who normally shoot at a
standard circular target.

Again, thanks to Mooneschadowe and all who attended for a delightful
weekend.

HL Annabelle Fitzsimmons

This past weekend, Mooneschadowe hosted their annual Guardian tournament.  =
Although turnout was lower than in the past, everyone had a wonderful time.=
  There were, as usual, a large amount of competitions and just plain ol' h=
avin' fun.

<snip>

Now, on to the event!  Friday night, Lord Owen ap Aeddan hosted a Norse Wre=
stling competition by torchlight.  The winner was Alan from Namron.  Though=
 young in years (I believe he is around ten), Alan won by throwing the most=
 people out of the ring.  It was a great sight to see!  Also on Friday, Lad=
y Helene Quivremont held a court dancing primer before the Ball on Saturday=
 night.  There were almost as many people dancing as wrestling.

<snip>

Saturday afternoon we held an Archery competition to determine the new Yeom=
an of Mooneschadowe.  The competition was a William Tell shoot run by HL To=
inette de Cambrai, won by Lord Donald MacDonald of Vatavia, another of our =
Calontiri friends.  An honorable mention goes out to the same Alan of Namro=
n who won the wrestling Friday night.  Although he did not win, he was not =
last, nor close to it!
