Unto the Barony and the Kingdom, greetings from Kameshima!<div><br></div><div>It was my honor to serve as the Herald in Charge and Clean-up Coordinator for this past weekend's Barony Birthday and Queen's Rapier Championship celebration. It was also my pleasure to do so, thanks in no small part to all those who pitched in and assisted. According to His Excellency Liam, we made record time in cleaning up the site, and it could not have been possible without the assistance of so many!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Great thanks unto Master Brandubh O'Donnghaile, Lady Katherine Sinclaire, and Lady Meadhbh inghean Ui Bhaoghill, who heralded Her Majesty's tournament (and especially Lady Katherine and Lady Meadhbh, who stepped in when the responsibilities of the day called me away!).</div>
<div><br></div><div>And an indescribable level of thanks to all those who assisted in the cleanup of the site, including (but, I'm sure, not limited to):</div>- Lord Ffynthcor O Fyndham and Rowan ni Naradhaigh, our Site Liaisons; <br clear="all">
<div>- Lady Minamoto Sakurako, who cleaned up the chairs from the main hall while the rest of us enjoyed Court;</div>- Lord Jorundr hinn Rotinn and Lord Marcus skalpr Grimmson, who spearheaded the reorganization of the sanctuary;<br>
<div>- Wolfgang and Katerin Stark of the Barony of the Rhydderich Hael, who stayed to assist before undertaking the multiple-hour drive home;</div><div>- Justin, who was attending his FIRST EVENT and stayed until the bitter end, showing the true spirit of service;</div>
<div>- Baron Liam mac an Tsaior, Mistress Jenna MacPherson, Master Brandubh O'Donnghaile, THL Katla Ulfheddin, THL Zoe Akropolitina, Lord Robert pour maintenant, Lady Muirgheal inghean Dubhghaill, Lady Elss of Augsberg, Lady Elsa Taliard, Elizabeth Hogue, Runa Thorgrimsdottir, and Abbatissa of Banbury, whose assistance in site cleanup made the process quick and painless.</div>
