Personal Memories

(A "keeper" posting from the Cathedral, Sept 2006.)

I have learned that one of the Kingdom's newest Laurels is also the new Kingdom Bardic Champion! Congratulations to Mistress Aelfgyfu for her achievement! Kudos also to her finalist competitor, HL Stephen of Hunmanby, and the third overall competitor, Serena Zane, for wonderful, well-researched and entertaining entries.

Dragonslaire, once again, hosted a fine Kingdom event. Thank you to Their Excellencies, their Guard (for being courteous and helpful above and beyond all expectations) and the other members of the populace for being so welcoming. We had a damn fine time.  :-)

Cheers,
