[Stargate] Sunday Tourney in the Park

[Jerry]

Greetings fair folk of Stargate and the surrounding environs,

Wow! What a Grand Sunday Tournament this past weekend.  Thanks to the
entrants and their consorts, the many heralds, marshals, list mistresses,
scribes and illuminators that made the tournament so special.  Extra thanks
to Lady Bella McLeod, sponsor of the Chivalric Tourney, and to Lady Maureen
Faulkner, sponsor of the Rapier List.  Bella gave a new armor repair bag
with lots of cool widgets to fix chivalric armor and Maureen provided a
hand-made wooden storage box/seat.

Congratulations to Pomestnitsa Wissa Medvedeva, our winner on the Chivalric
Field and to Don Tristan von Heidelberg of the Rapier side.  Wissa went
undefeated until the final round against Sir Godwin of Eddington, who then
calling on his station as Baron and Knight, yielded her the final point to
win the day.  Don Tristan prevailed over a cadre of rapier fighters that
fought in a multitude of styles throughout the day.

Even though the list began just after 3, the tourney ran till almost 7
(Sorry Euro Dance Guild)  We will better organize the following tournaments
to avoid this conflict in the future.  Our next Sunday Tourney in the Park
will be on June 29th, the day after the Ansteorran Heraldic and Scribal
Symposium, beginning with armor inspection at 1 pm.

The day was picture perfect with clear blue skies.  If only the breezes had
been a few degrees cooler...

Fighters, your knight marshal thanks you all for gracing him with your first
fight of the day.


***Special note:  This coming Sunday's practice will be sans Knight
Marshal.  He will be meleeing with the Steppes Warlord crowd.


In Service to Baron and King I remain,
Othar Morganson, Centurion
