[Bordermarch] 12th Night

[Bill C Burgin]

Excellencies,
I arrived late and the 'gate' was already closed.  I got so caught up in saying 
"hello" to folks that I neglected to find the gate keeper. If someone could tell 
me where to send my fee (there were three of us), I will get it to you ASAP.
Thank you,
EricS

Subject: [Bordermarch] 12th Night

Hello One and All,
 
What a GREAT 12th Night we had this year. Lady Angelica (I will learn to 
pronounce correctly this year) and her Crew did an outstanding job keeping it 
all together for the day. Thank you L. Angel for organizing it at the last 
minute and then of coarse running it through out the day. Many thanks also to 
all who helped L Angel make this happen. Some of you are new to the SCA, some 
just visiting  and others old hats but each of you added to our experience and 
we thank you. 

 
The food was plentiful thanks to all that provided & the fighting was mighty 
thanks to Lord Chritian and Lord Zain. We had twenty total participants demoing 
their talents in chivalric and/or rapier which is more fighters then in recent 
years. Along with the fighters were many visitors, friends and family. Lady 
Stephanie alone had 15 by her side getting to know what we were about. Vivat L. 
Stephanie!
 
Wolfstar made a great showing and had links and Baudoin cooking for all to 
partake of. Thank you Wolfstar it was so good to have you back. Vivat!
 
HE AmberLea along with her two beautiful daughters helped us sing for our 
supper. As always you sounded wonderful. It brings back so many memories for us 
when you sing. Vivat as well!
 
We had 77 folks sign in but there were another 20-25 spectators who stayed 
through out the day so over all a very successful 12th Night Gathering. Thank 
you HE Valencia for your time greeting folks at the door as well as your 
generous donation to the facility in order to make this gathering happen. You 
have been a true and noble friend to Bordermarch and we thank you from the 
bottom of our hearts.
 
Lord Beau and Lady Karen loudly but eloquently presented us with a Baronial 
Pickle and Pickle Fork that we will treasure for years. It's all based on the 
yodeling pickle that L. Karen has and HE Santiago has yet to see or hear. "The 
Baronial Pickle" will be taken everywhere.  To be continued.....
 
Lord Calvin received a wonderful personal gift from Lord Christian for fighting 
undefeated and was named 12th Night Baronial Champion. There were many styles of 

rapier fighting demonstrated and he gracefully fought through them all. Vivat.
 
And last but not least Yule Ms Rule was crowned being a first time visitor from 
Buna but attends a college in Huntsville. I  believe her name was Mickey. She 
chose m'Lord Tavon(sp) to Rule with her and had what looked like a great time. 
We so hope they will return and become a part of the Bordermarch family it was 
great serving beside them.
 
And as always thanks for your continued love, support and friendship this past 
year. Santiago and I can never repay you by words, thoughts or deeds for all you 

have done to inspire us. 

 
May God bless and touch each of your lives this year,
 
Elisabeth and Santiago
