<DIV>We wish thank the following gentles who staffed the Siege of Harlech III
event this last Saturday in the Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Mistress Illadore de Bedegrayne, Feast Cook</DIV>
<DIV>Dame Margaret Makafee, Lunch Cook</DIV>
<DIV>Sir Bear the Wallsbane, Marshal in Charge</DIV>
<DIV>Mistress Arianna of Wynthrope (most recent Jewel of Aethelmearc) and Sir
Thorgrim Skullsplitter, Youth Marshals</DIV>
<DIV>Lady Melodia Beaupel and THL Elss of Augsburg, Thrown Weapons
Marshals</DIV>
<DIV>Lady Katherine Sinclaire, Mistress of the Lists</DIV>
<DIV>Master Alaric MacConnal, Reservations Clerk</DIV>
<DIV>THL Margery Kent of York, Head Tollner</DIV>
<DIV>Countess Alexandra of Clan Donald, Royalty Liason</DIV>
<DIV>Master Emrys Eustace (Broom), Parking Marshal</DIV>
<DIV>Mistress Ts’vee’a Bas Tsipora, Mistress of the Pilgrimage Shrine</DIV>
<DIV>Lady Jocelyn of Tyburn, Head Cleanup</DIV>
<DIV>Joshua of the Debatable Lands, Groundsmaster (digger, bench builder, Garden
assembly, weedwhacker)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> All these good Gentles worked all day (and many
the days before) to make the event a success. We had 260 people check in
at Troll, including Their Sylvan Majesties, Their Excellencies of the Debatable
Lands, Their Highnesses of the Midrealm and Their Highnesses of
Ealdormere. Thanks to those musicians and Mistress Felice from the
Midrealm who provided music and dancing in the Great Hall all afternoon.
Thanks to Sir Aengus and Mistress Yvianne who set up Mistress Odrianna’s Vigil
and then cleaned it up, as well as Mistress Judith who provided a Vigil
buffet.</DIV>
<DIV> We were unable to record all those who helped our
Staff above, and will let those organizing a crew make sure all who helped are
thanked, if possible. We do know that Elss, Melodia, Alastar, Rufina,
Filip and Owen were helping with lunch the night before the event. A
wonderful lady (who’s name we would love to know) and Rufina’s cousin (who was
at her first SCA event and says she’ll be back for more) served High Table for
feast. Lina in Danska helped with dishwashing and cleanup until the end.
Ceindrech helped Youth Marshal and two Tuchux wenches (we believe one was
Bagheera) were enthusiatic water bearers for the heavy fighters. And
Hagar the Blushing came early to help set up.</DIV>
<DIV>The event never could have happened without the efforts of all above and
the many gentles who helped quietly when they saw a need. Thank you again
for your dedication, energy, and generosity!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yours In Service,</DIV>
<DIV>Byron and Ariella</DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
