Both the A&S championship and Bardic Championship was held on April 29th. The winners of the competitions were HL Angharat verch Reynulf and HL Andromacha of Lesbos. This was the first time the A&S competition was held at Embers.

The weather threatened to rain us all out, and with the theft of the Baronial trailer in December, we would have been very wet indeed on Saturday if it weren't for the generosity of our cousins to the South, Glymm Mere, allowing us to borrow two of their pavilions. We will always be greatful for their help.

The event was hosted by the Baron and Baroness of Blatha an Oir, attended by The King, His Majesty Styrkarr Jarlsskald, the Princess of the Summits, Her Highness Alina of Folkstone, The Baron and Baroness of Terra Pomeria, and the Baron and Baroness of Glymm Mere.

Final gate count for attendance was 201 adults, though several more individuals arrived after gate closed and donated their entrance fee to the barony. The first tokens for the new YAFA program were given in the Barony at this event, for Calligraphy and Archery.
