[Twnsqr] Grimwithshire Tourney of the Wolves

[Kenna62 at aol.com]

Hail to One and All from Baron Caieth!
 
For those who were not able to make it to Grimwithshire's Tourney of the  
Wolves this Saturday, I'd like to offer a brief report on a great event.
 
The weather was at times beautiful and at times foul, the setting in  
Northeast Washington austere in its winter grandeur.  We had nearly 20  fighters, 
largely thanks to gracious folk who were willing to travel, many from  as far as 
Portland.
 
The list was a toughie - Their Graces Gunnar, Sven and Amalric annointed  the 
field, as well as His Excellency Ulfred and numerous members of  the  
Chivlary.  Duke Sven took the day, his third consecutive win at Wolves,  while 
Gernaut was awarded Most Chivalrous by Her Grace Gabrielle.
 
Within the hall, games were played and various A&S pursuits  enjoyed.  It 
would be impossible to list all the folk who came to share  their skills and 
generosity; a joyful sense of camaraderie pervaded the  event.  I would like to 
single out the Feast-o-crat, Lady Arnora, and all  of her able assistants for 
putting on a most amazing spread of period, tasty  faire.  
 
A half a dozen folk entered the Bardic Championship - Huzzah to them!   The 
victors were a 4 girl troupe of Celtic Highland Dancers ala River Dance that  
delighted the Populace and were awarded the Championship Cloak to an encore  
performance.  If I am not mistaken, it was their first SCA event, but  hopefully 
not their last.
 
Congratulations to all those folk whose efforts were recognized before the  
Ducal and Baronial Thrones.  Thanks also and Welcome to all for whom  this was 
their first SCA event (they probably don't get these emails, so if you  know 
any of them please pass it along).
 
Lastly, if you have never had a chance to make it up to Grimwithshire, you  
will rarely find a group who is better organized or works harder to put on 
great  events, despite the fact that their overall numbers are small and their 
location  remote to the point of making Coeur D'Alene look like a Metropolis.  
Sir  Tighearnach, Lady Rioghnach and Sir Guy, Grimwithshire is lucky to have 
you, as  is the Inlands.
 
On to Oasis War!  Hope to see many of you there.
 
Cheers!
 
Caieth
