[NR] Elves Guild - Toy Collection & Challenge

[Reihla at aol.com]

I seem to remember the first Baroness's Toy Tourney was a competition between all groups.  I don't even remember anyone specifying that you had to be from the "North" (i.e. groups from other regions probably could have participated had they wanted to).  I sure don't remember it being a competition between only the baronies. Though we also love having help from outside our own group I, too, would love to see the Shires and incipient groups represent themselves if they so wish.

One other thing about Toy Tourney, any Baroness could sponsor an activity.  It wasn't specific to landed or court, etc.  I think in recent years we've gotten away from that original spin and turned the whole thing into another "regional" type event where activities are sponsored more by "baronies" than by any Baroness who wanted to run something.  I believe Contessa Vanessa (Royal, as opposed to noble) even sponsored something at one of the Tourneys.

Just my thoughts,
