[Ansteorra-rapier] The Shire of Gate's Edge welcomes all rapier fighters to come to the Celtic Harvest Festival for as much fighting as you can stand!

[Brian O'hUilliam]

My sincere thanks to Don Corvin for taking up this task in my absence.  I am
saddened that I step down from my post as Rapier Champion of the Shire of
Gate's Edge, but now, especially as I can no longer defend the Shire myself,
a new Champion must be chosen.
Gate's Edge always puts on a fun a event, so come out and support them and a
have a great time with friends.

In Service,
Brian O'hUilliam

Cadet to Don Brian MacCael
Rapier Champion of the Shire of Gate's Edge
