[Bryn-gwlad] Golden spatula

[Wilhelm von Arzt]

Greetings Friends,

On the idea of a tiny tourney Goldweard is proposing,  I am endeavoring to
sit down with Goldweard and write up the proper proposal to be submitted at
the next business meeting. I have been in contact with his Excellency Baron
Thomas and I am willing to cosponsor this event providing that the Barony
approves. I understand the concerns that many share is the method of it's
presentation at the moment and do ask for your patience. I applaud
Goldweard's enthusiasm and I think his idea has merit. And for these reasons
I'd like to table this discussion for the moment.


Yours in Service,
Herr Wilhelm von Arzt
Lieutenant of the Baronial Guard
