<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=687360922-30032007><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=296304201-02042007>Elfsea Springfaire! What a success!</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

A treasure of Thanks go to our co-autocrats, Lady Hanna von Dahl and Lady Elizabeth Pendarvis and their scurvy crew. They weathered the white squall on Friday evening an heralded in a picture perfect day of springtime fun. Thank ye, wenches...and I means that, to be sure.</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=687360922-30032007><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=296304201-02042007>We thank His Stellar Majesty, King Romanius, for His presence and contributions on the day. Who can say Elfsea shirks on taxes? :-) From a delicious lunch to highly entertaining combat scenarios, to top-notch Artisan and Bardic competitions, not to mention Archery....er....yes, don't mention archery. (Still a bit traumatized there.) Speaking of traumatized, I believe the King of Fools competition may have imparted a bit of that trauma to all. Some sights were just too vivid. Hamish, you're a wee bit twisted, but congratulations all the same on being named Elfsea's latest King of Fools. (Perhaps a good physician can help diminish your unfortunate features that bear striking similarity to one Lord Daniel Stewart.) </SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=687360922-30032007><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=296304201-02042007>Congratulations to Elfsea's new Titled Artisan - HL Melisenda de Barcelona of Tempio, with a marvelously documented Funeral Feast, with tasty, attractive samples to boot. There were 12 competitors with many, many expert-level entries that upheld the quality and standards we seek in our champions. Well done all!</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=687360922-30032007><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=296304201-02042007>Likewise, nine accomplished competitors for Elfsea's titled Bard entertained Her Excellency with impressive performances. We congratulate Master Robin of Gilwell on his inspired effort that brought him to again represent Elfsea as our latest Titled Bard.</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=687360922-30032007><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=296304201-02042007>Some of those recognized in His Majesty's court included Lady Rosmerryn Carew de Courcelles' receipt of her Award of Arms, Lady Elizabeth's entrance into the Order of the Azure Keystones of Elfsea and a Sable Thistle for Blackwork was also awarded to Lady Hanna. There were many more but not all were present, so....."Sshhh".</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Sir Tomas, for his dedication and protection of Elfsea's borders. A fair maiden, whose name will soon be reported, made many a deal to dominate the Rapier lists, and was almost undermined by Lord Lochlan Dung, (who never fought a single Rapier bought by the way), bartered a deal with His Majesty. Once again, young Gavin turned in an impressive showing, finishing 2nd in the adult Archery competition and received a Letter of Marque for the effort.</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=687360922-30032007><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=296304201-02042007>Thank you to Don Ingve for accomplishing what no one else has, actually getting me into Rapier armor for the first time ever and then providing a bit of instruction. A fine memory I shall cherish for many moons to come..Sister Mea Culpa, the pregnant lady of the cloth, Anastasia, "borrowing" the Star of Elfsea, under the nose of the King, being impaled by young archers in a William Tell shoot, and many many more memories (Jocelyn) will keep me smiling for a long time to come. I trust the autocrats and coordinators can give proper credit where it's due. from Lady Ker Megan at gate, to HL Druinne preparing lunch, HL Aislyn, HL Fearghus & Lady Elspeth for a memorable archery shoot, Lord Lochlan Dunn for a rowdy Heavy List and Lord Dirk for a lively Rapier list and all the good folks
who provided water, medical assistance and more. Master Darius for heralding our courts and Donald, Rua, Master Oxlade, Centurion Daire and everyone who helped with setup and tear down. Please know you are all appreciated tremendously, Aaarrrrg. I know there are more to thank and ask that everyone help me do so.</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
