[Ansteorra] Queen's Champion/Coronation Thank You

[Celeste Shelton]

Greetings unto one and all.  We would like to take this opportunity to say a few thank yous to those who made Queen's Champion/Coronation such a wonderful success.  We know that without the help of everyone involved, this day would have not been possible.  Please forgive us if we forget anyone, it is a very large list.  LOL First of all, we would like to thank Don Shamino and his crew (Jake, Dale, and Michelle) for providing us with a most glorious site and for ensuring that the grounds and buildings were ready for our use.  This continued patronage of our group is appreciated beyond belief.  We would also like to thank our friends from Bjornsborg that not only loaned us the very large pavilion, but came with it to set it up and tear it down.  To Lady Emeline Neville, the site was exquisitely decorated and you worked so hard to help in anyway we needed.  Thank you. HL Lucia Piazetta, thank you for setting up and running the A&S display on such short notice.  The artists were well received and this added so much to the day. Vilhialmr vitr, the children so enjoyed the games and heraldic scavenger hunt.  Thank you for your tireless work to teach the future of our kingdom. Lord Alfred Huttlestone, thank you for performing the duties of Chiurgeon in Charge and for assisting with the safety and health of the many fighters who came out to honor our Queen.  Lady Isabelica Gonzales de Guadalupe, thank you for doing such a fine job making sure that our fighters were hydrated and cared for during a long day of battle.   Mistress Gwyneth Blackrose, thank you for coordinating the crash space for the many visitors who would not have been able to attend our event without the generosity of our friends who opened their homes. Signora Elisabetta Morosini, the gate was run very efficiently and the event booklets were very lovely.  Your work is always welcome and generously offered.   
Mistress Clarissa di Firenze and Mistress Meadhbh ni Ruaidh o Chonnemara, the feast was indeed fabulous, hot and on time.  You are a team that is unrivaled.
 
Lord Laszló Nemanželsky, thank you for organizing the heralds for the tournament and for finding all of those that were willing to make announcements throughout the day.
 
Dame Clara von Ulm, Don Iago Cabrera de Cadiz, Baroness Claire Shayhan, and HL Rhiannon, thank you all for running the lists for Queen's Champion and for the Queen's Hope.  The events were run flawlessly and on time.  
 
Lord Ceallach mac Donal, thank you for organizing the many fine merchants who attended this day. 
 
Lady Ysabeau of Prague, thank you for organizing the nobles luncheon and for staying to serve the general populous that may otherwise have not had a lunch.  The many who were fed were warmed by your food and your hospitality.
 
Lord Jehan d’Aigle, and Master Eule von Haginbald.  You and your crews put together and tore down the site with such ease, you made it appear to be effortless.
 
Baron Niklas Vasilevich, thank you for taking care of parking and ensuring that our guests were safe for the weekend by enlisting a staff to man the traffic on the long hill.
 
Lord Alfred Huddlestone, and Lord Rurik the Red, the site tokens were absolutely beautiful.  We couldn't have asked for a more perfect piece of art.  
 
Doña Gwenneth of Glamorgan, thank you for taking care of our web site with the changes almost coming daily.  
 
To the Barony of Bryn Glwad.  Life is good because you make it so.  Thank you for ALL of your hard work.
 
We are grateful that you gave us the opportunity to steward this event and for making us look so good.  :)
