<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Greetings unto all good gentles in the Barony
Marche! We felt today's huge turnout for thrown weapons and archery was
wonderful and want to thank all who conceived the Pirate theme
and Alaric who designed the tournaments. Thanks to Anlaith who
taught a large number of interested throwers the Atlatl class. Thanks to those
as well who brought targets, encouraged newcomers, brought delicious birthday
cakes for the Beatiful yet Deadly Pirate Hilda, and other laudable
deeds! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Heavy fighting and Youth
fighting also went very well with a large turnout for each, and our
Barony's first ever Pas-de-Arms barrier fighting for youth. Thanks to
Cynewyn (giving Shiro a well-deserved day off on his birthday), Arianna, and
Ceindrech for marshalling. Beautiful days like this at Washington Blvd
with good friends, cake, and silly pirate talk fill our hearts with
joy. Vivant!</FONT></DIV>
