<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings Good Gentles! We wish to
thank all those who helped with the largest number of newcomers we have
ever seen at one Washington Blvd practice. The newcomers ranged from at
least 12 friends of Alex's who had no previous SCA exposure to a knight from
West Kingdom who has moved here for a year. Two individuals in
particular deserve recognition: Urho and the Barony's archery marshalls who
spent the day teaching new archers (all the loaner gear was in use),
and Don Christian who taught a group of at least a dozen the basic fencing
moves. Thanks to Bors and the heavy fighting marshalls who brought loaner
gear and tried to get it on as many people as possible. All should be
proud of the Barony's welcome! </FONT></DIV>
