<DIV><FONT size=2>Inspite of the severe rain last week, the weather Sunday
Dec.17 was beautiful. Cool and Sunny. The high winds from the day
before helped to dry up the outside footing. Sixteen riders were here to
practise with three of them being junior riders. It was still a little too
muddy to practise the quintain but everyone had plenty of opportunity to
practise ring tilt, heads, pig sticking, and spear throwing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Laraine brought her completed boffer helm and I (Guinevere )
brought out mine and two boffer swords. The Advanced riders got a chance
to try out this new game.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Our junior rider Deanna authorized advanced. Linda
moved up to Advanced and Angela up to Intermediate.</FONT></DIV>

to do some light riding. </FONT></DIV>
