    A Letter From The Seneschal...

    Greetings Darkwater!

    Clans was a phenomenal success! We had the largest attendance for any event in several years, 180 people! We had the most contestants in the Highland Games that I can remember (Thanks Malore!). We had great kids’ activities (yay sheep!), His Majesties midnight meat cookout, and four different light and heavy tourneys. In fact, the most prevalent comment from the populace was how much they appreciated having so many different activities to do. Thank you Mistress Adelheid and your crew for the hard work. And thank you to everyone who helped during all the phases of the event, from set-up to tear-down. The camp appreciated that we left the camp much better than we found it and I appreciate that because of all the assistance with tear-down the officers and crat staff were able to leave much earlier than usual Sunday morning.

    Our next event will be Village Faire in September. I am still looking for bids so if you have a team interested in running the event, see me for bid forms. I would like to have a couple of bids for consideration at the officer’s meeting this month so that we can get an advance flyer into Tailwinds.

    Speaking of officer’s meeting, beginning this month through August the officer’s meeting will be at Baroness Jana’s place of business. If you have ever been to the meeting in the food court, you know how loud it is and how hard it is to do business there. Thank you Jana for your hospitality! I will include the address and strip map in the Revelry.

    Summers used to be the slow season for events in Trimaris. Upcoming Kingdom and local events include Duke U/Art-Sci and Kingdom Archery Day, both to be held locally, the Res series of events on the west coast, and many others throughout the Kingdom. Keep an eye out in the Revelry and Tailwinds for times and places.

    Amalric
