[Bryn-gwlad] Request for Members in Costume

[Emeline de Neville]

My apologies to both Izzy and the Barony, if I
offended anyone with this post.

It was of course meant to be sent privately.  However,
I do stand behind what I have posted.
If you wish to discuss this with me.  Please feel free
to do so.  I unfortunately chose today not to carry my
cell phone.  I will be available early at the Business
Meeting, so that anyone that wishes to talk with me
can.  I will also respond to any email that anyone
sends me.  

Again, I apologize for posting a private email to the
list and any hurt feeling that it might cause.
