<DIV>Greetings to the People of the West and especially the Barony of Bonwick
>From Duchess Willow de Wisp.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I want to thank everyone for their wonderful event. I was touched by your
hospitality and kindness. I told the fighters of the West that since I died with
them at Gulf War I was now part of your region. I would add that since I
have reveled with you good folks I feel even more welcomed. I plan to serve the
Baron and Baroness faithfully as their bard. I will be looking for good tales to
tell.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope to see all of you shortly.</DIV>
<DIV>Duchess Willow de Wisp</DIV>

<DIV>Greetings unto Ansteorra,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We would like to echo the words of our event steward in thanking all that
attended Bonwicke's Champions event. The weather did not cooperate with us
Friday night and so we were really appreciative of all that braved the
elements to come and have fun with us anyway. Saturday, just as Their
Majesties arrived on site, the sun came out and the rest of the event was
filled with pleasant weather.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We thank Their Majesties for coming and bringing Their gracious spirits
to add to the splendor of the day. If you missed court Saturday evening you
missed one of the most entertaining courts that we have ever had the pleasure
to witness. Ask someone that was there about "The occasional backhand of
glee."</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It is our pleasure to announce our new Champions and bring word fame to
them for their great skill in the various fields of competition:</DIV>

<DIV>There was also an arts and sciences competition, filled with many
wonderful entries. The winner of that competition was also Herr Eric Von
Geldern.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Again, thank you to all that helped out (water bearing, marshalling, list
mistressing, heralding, working with MOC, working at gate, helping setup &
take down, working with the arts and sciences competition, cooking, serving,
cleaning, etc.), without your help events like this would not be
possible.</DIV>

<DIV>In service to the Crown,</DIV>
<DIV>Kainin and Oriana</DIV>
<DIV>Baron and Baroness of Bonwicke</DIV>
