A while back we had gotten into the habit of posting reports from those who had traveled to events...I'd really like to see that again. It's really interesting to see the different perspectives of the same events! I challenge all that go to events to post the highlights as they see them of the events they attend!

OK, Lorraine, I'll start the ball rolling on this one ...
 
Although there was a small turnout as many were scared off by the rains the day before, I must admit that all of us who attended had a marvelous time.  I believe that this was the first even that Gate's Edge held as a Shire and it was quite pleasant.
 
The two Queens were represented by HL Hillary (France) and HL Pippa (England) -- both ladies represented their respective countries well and were indeed the epitome of Love and Beauty!  Sir William of Weir did double duty as King (England) and Field Marshall ... and looked splendid as always.  
 
I believe that there was a total of 10 fighters that took the heavy field ... and my own Lord Thorkin remained undefeated (for the French) until he had to take himself out due to injury in the final rounds, which were fought against Ezekiel the Slightly Demented and Ld Thorland O'Shea (sp?).  Thorland is now the Shire's Heavy Champion.  Sorry ... I didn't get to see any of the light fighting, equestrian or archery competitions as I was busy waterbearing at the heavy list field and taking care of fighters.  But it was wonderful to see Centurion Mu out on the field in his heavy armor again!
 
Feast was delicious ... HL Dolfin with the help of Ld Ambrose Blackwood, Ld Thorkin and myself put out a spread that seemed to satisfy all (there were only 2 chickens left the next morning ... and NOTHING else!).  As always, if you walked away hungry it wasn't Dolfin's fault!
 
Ly Alwyn received a Thistle (for her bobbin lace that evening, I believe).  She and several other ladies spent most of the day working on scrolls that were absolutely georgeous ... and I must commend Ly Sabine.  I believe that this was the first event that she had acted as Autocrat, and it went very well.
 
There were some newcomers at the event and their children were called into court and received word fame for the all of the help they gave serving head table.  I believe that there was also a young man who was called in for his assistance at another venue.  I didn't get to hear all of it because I was still in the kitchen, but it was so wonderful to see the children come before the court ... the looks on their faces ... they just "glowed"!!!
 
I know that many other things happened ... which I could have been every where at once, but that is just not possible.
 
That's my story ... and I'm sticking to it!
