<DIV>Good Populace of Elfsea,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you missed the Eistedfodd competition at Twelfth Night, our own Eleanor
Cleavely displayed her exceptional Bardic talents during the competition.
She made it to the final four, and the competition was so close, but alas she
was not chosen for the final two. Unfortunately, I shall have to wait for
some other good gentle to post the final results, as I had to leave the event
before the announcement was made. I must say, in all honesty, I was truly
blown away by her performance--not simply her voice, which is excellent, but in
the delivery of each piece. Anyone who has not had the pleasure of seeing
her perform should seek out the next available opportunity to do so.
Eleanor, you rocked my world! Better yet, you were a shining example of
our Barony's talented populace. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Long Live Elfsea!</DIV>
