conditions. Thank
you both!
<br><br>Next thanks to our
water bearers without whom none of us
could <br>have survived out on
that hot field without
their good care! A
<br>special thanks to
Master Caelin whom shared his chilled fruit
<br>with us when it was so
hot on Saturday and we were using up <br>our resources to keep hydrated faster than they could arrive. <br><br>Thanks to Ly. Susanna & Sir Lasguaard for quickly carting those <br>overcome by the heat up to the hall so they could get some relief <br>on Saturday, you were both god sent.<br><br>Thanks to local Arc d' Or Jacque the Spink for running our Thrown <br>Weapons activities, Children &
Youth tournaments, and sponsoring <br>the Novice archery tournament. Also much thanks to his wife Ly. <br>Symonne whom made, donated and collected largess for all our <br>missile contests. <br><br>Our thanks to HRM Jean Paul & Gilyan for bringing their Royal <br>Huntsman Tournament to our event and Royal Huntsman Adelaide <br>& the marshals of Clan ap Dewi for running that tournament. <br><br>Also our thanks to HE Francesca & the Texins Archery Club for <br>allowing us the use of their specialty targets.<br><br>Thanks to those whom acted so quickly to set up the stockade <br>for our Excellencies' Squire's Duck Hunt (never saw a 8'x50' <br>structure rise or come down so quickly), and those whom <br>instructed, marshaled, loaned equipment and worked so hard to <br>make it happen and such a overwhelming (if too short) success. <br>Next time we must allow for more time for this activity as none of <br>us had any idea how
much
interest there would be! <br><br>Also I'm not sure many have any idea how
much time & effort <br>went into the Duck Hunt nor the folks whom made it happen but <br>the list is quite extensive. Pray forgive me should I leave anyone <br>out or mis-spelled names: Our stockade builders; HL Jacqu<span>e,</span> <br>Ly. Symonne, Ld. Hugh, Ld.Guyjin, Ly. Alienor, Sir Lasguaard, <br>Ld.

make <br>it the very
successful, fun & safe event that it was!! Thank you <br>all! <br><br>Regards, <br><br>HL William Black Dragon called "Ironwyrm" <br><br>MMIC Steppes Warlord XXXVII<br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></td></tr></table>
