[SCA-BMDL] Pennsic thank-yous

[Cara & Char]

Greetings, Good Gentles!  The drums of war have faded from our lands, but 
the glorious deeds of the people of the Debatable Lands still ring loudly in 
our ears.  We wanted to thank some of the many gentles who gave their time 
and energy at Pennsic for our Barony and for our Kingdom.



First, thanks to those that helped set up Barony encampment and AE Royal's 
sheet walls:

Roana, Charles, Phillip, Saskia, Pavel,  Sandy, Jake (dug the entire shower 
pit virtually single-handed), Clemente, Rosalia, Logan, Urho, William and 
many others in the Barony encampment



Thanks to our Kingdom Gate Guards: Rua and Sarab, Maleodor and Jocelyn, 
Gabriel and Turk, Zoe and Andreas, Dani and She'era, Charles and Roana, Cai 
and Philip and Clemente, Graedwyn and Bors and Boden, Caillen and Shiro, and 
Rufina and Grendl.  Our apologies if we missed anyone; the guards were so 
conscientious we didn't check on everyone every shift.



Thanks to Zianna and Honoree and Saskia for setting up Zianna's wonderful 
reception dinner at AE Royal for the Barony's Pennsic party on Sunday. 
Thanks to Mistress Antoinette for the cake. The food was delicious!  Thanks 
also to Brandubh and our Brewer's guild for providing the alcoholic 
beverages!



Thank you to Kazi for overseeing the Baronial encampment as "Camp Mom".



Thank you to all who retained for us: Zianna (who organized the retainers), 
Honoree, Roana, Pavel, Charles, Risa, Lara, Meg, Phillip, Caillen, Shiro, 
Zoe, Fredeburg, and Liam.



Thank you to Brandubh, our Herald, for guiding us through many court 
situations with great aplomb.



Congratulations to I Genesii and the Debatable Choir (in Baronial colors!) 
for excellent performances.



Kudos to Andreas, Brion, Arianna, Jake, and all who dug a deep drainage 
ditch through the encampment in the midst of the worst thunderstorm of the 
War (for this War, that's saying something) so that endangered tents would 
not flood.



Our Barony did most of AE breakdown Sunday morning in 45 minutes and Their 
Majesties were most grateful.  Thanks to all who delayed their own packing 
to help the Kingdom!  We were so pleased to see the Barony-Marche taking a 
leading role in helping the Aethelmearc camp.  Our efforts were noticed, 
appreciated, and commented upon.



For all those that we did not mention, thank you in every way that you 
contributed to everyone having an enjoyable, if wet, Pennsic!



In Service,

Byron and Ariella
