CR - Fw: ANST - Crown

[Mike C. Baker]

As not everyone on the regional list subscribes to the full
Kingdom list, and the news is appropriate to the Central
Region, here then is the most comprehensive report of 
this last weekend's Crown Tournament that I have seen 
to date.

Congratulations to TRH Gunthar and Thyra, scheduled
next January to ascend the Stellar Thrones!

Sir
