[Bryn-gwlad] Vivat Youth of Bryn Gwlad and Ansteorra!

[Ld. Alfred]

A message from Countess Tessa who ran the waterbearing station at the recent Castletown event.

 Waterbearing at Castleton... ahhhh,  how lovely a way to spend the day among the shade trees, watching and listening  to some of the most intriguing and alive aspects of the SCA to be found in  Kingdom. Combatants, horses, banners, viewing stands, heraldic introductions and  challenges;musicians, sideboards, visiting with  friends.  
 And how about the incredible  generosity and hospitality of Don Shamino about his Castleton  properties...
  
 To Sir Alexis, I thank you for asking  me to administer the Waterbearing Station.
Lord Alfred, thank *you* for the  generosity of the loan of your barony's equipment and your devoted  time.
 
To the many youth in attendance who  offered their services as Waterbearers:
 Rose, Thorull, Bailey, Ambroglio,  Lockland, Artorius, and young Cynric for whom it was his 1st event.  
 To these Youth, Your energies and  time are appreciated as greatly as your attitude of service.  
  
On site also volunteering as  Waterbearers were Lacy Coleetha newly arrived from the  West, Mistress Gwynneth, and Aliena the Master WaterBearer.
 
To Lord Slovaczek who loaned  Bordermarch igloo barrels and aprons, thank you.   To loved ones from  Bordermarch who came along with me to present the refreshments and hydrate the  fighters all day: Lady Elisabeth and Lord Santiago of Green Mountain Keep, my  beloved spouse Count Simonn, and our son Lord Zain Amber-Gate, thank you  all.
 
Unto Don Shamino, you are amazing!   Thank you for everything you do to make the dream real !
  
 Peace and Grace to all,
 Countess Tessa

I, also, wish to send a hearty Vivat! for a job well done!  The waterbearers could not have accomplished their mission without the aid of these fine youths!  They should take well deserved pride in a job well done and their parents, Bryn Gwlad and Ansteorra should take pride in the selfless, hard work these youths did in 100+ degree heat to keep our equestrians and chivalric fighters well watered and fed.

In Service there is Honor!

Ld. Alfred Huddlestone,
Baronial Chiurgeon of Bryn Gwad
Journeyman Waterbearer
C.I.C. for the Lysts at Castletown event
