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...
