once again thank all of you who contributed so deliciously to Fall Court’s
success. We had ample food and drink to serve twice as many people as
showed up, and we had around 35 show up! The hot food and hot apple cider
warmed many a cold, damp member who trekked through rain and mud to
participate. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I must express a
special thank you to a number of people: HL Francesca for her admirable
organization and interface with the Celtic Heritage Festival personnel, Ld
Bre’nain for his organization of a very impressive demo which attracted many
viewers to our rather remote location, Ldy Gerita for her superb assistance in
getting the food organized and set up, Ldy Donal for her contribution of her
personal gear to offer those who forgot feast gear the opportunity to eat, HL
Corwyn for his assistance at the grill and for helping load my vehicle at the
end of the event, His Excellency Mahdi for his excellent prowess on the field
(and for his two intrepid fellow fighters who allowed him to beat up on them!),
and Their Excellencies Mahdi and Valeria for their leadership and inspiration to
have FUN at Fall Court. You all made my job of organizing the food very
easy, and that made for a fun and filling time for us all!
