(Discussion gleaned from the North Road e-mail list, 20- Apr 2007)

Rowan:

Let me think.

Lovely site [MacLean Boy Scout Camp].

Large list turn out.

My first time marshaling a Crown list [learned with Baron Gerhard, now Syr Garan, Master Draggi and Princess Mathen of the Mists]

Very cold at night, but the stars were beautiful!

There was a wonderful 'Great Hall' which was used extensively on Sat night to treat various fighting injuries and hypothermia cases.

His Grace Torgul [back then hes was Torgul Bahadir, the Tendwrecker, Squire to His Grace Sir Stiengrim] was Knighted by torchlight at Saturday Evening Court.

There was a Live Chess Tournament, where, perhaps, one of the players really should have been wearing something under his kilt.

Was that the famous black lace kilt of Baron Frederic of the West Tower? --Roger, who was Chronicler of the West at that time.

Hum. Could well have been. I was off to one side and didn't get a ...'good' view, as it were. But Her Highness, Princess Sumingo certainly got a laugh out of it. Hummm. Thinking about it, that may not have been a positive response for the Good Gentleman involved. --Rowan

Let me keep thinking...
