<br>
Queens Champion has come and gone.<br>
<br>
I am not one to make noise about myself but I will say that I am honored<br>
<span class=GramE>to</span> be Champion to Her Majesty Ebergardis von Zell. <br>
<br>
I can truly say that despite the fact that the rain did not come just to<br>
<span class=GramE>spite</span> our changing plans to the wet weather set up,
our shire showed its<br>
<span class=GramE>ability</span> to host an outstanding event. My thanks to
everyone who <span class=GramE>helped <br>
make</span> my job as marshal that day an easy one. With out all of your<br>
<span class=GramE>support</span>, there would have been a different champion.<br>
<br>
For the next 6 months, I am going to be Very busy.<br>
<br>
We will still have our rapier practice out at Meyer Park on Sundays at </span></font><st1:time
Hour="14" Minute="0"><span class=GramE>2 <br>
p.m</span>.</st1:time> in conjunction with the <span class=SpellE>Chiv</span>
practice.<br>
<br>
On that note, we have picked up a rapier fighter from out of Seawinds.<br>
Fredric has expressed interest in picking up rapier again. And I have<br>
<span class=GramE>gotten</span> notes from a couple others from surrounding
areas that are <br>
interested as well.<br>
<br>
That all being said... If you want to play Rapier, SHOW UP<span class=GramE>!.</span>
I'll be<br>
<span class=GramE>there</span>.<br>
<br>
In Service,<o:p></o:p></p>
