10 Heralds Corner A very relaxed court for their excellencies, Baron David Vasquez de Valencia and Baroness Suzanne Neuber de Londres opened under the lovely shade of the trees. The first order of business was the archery champion, and Genvieve Velleman was called into court. She described the theme of the tournament and the challenges. The winner with the most points was a tie between Lord Rufus and Lord Eanraig. The winner of those competing for the baronial champion was Lord Peter of Hawkwood. As the baroness put the mantle of champion onto him it was noted that he was the first ever to wear it. Their excellencies not done with Lord Peter, informed the populace as to his hard work done for many years, with small breaks, running camp at Pennsic. And the crowd cheered. Their excellencies then invited up Travis, and asked him to talk about his competition in thrown weapons. He gave a very heartfelt thanks for everybody that competed, and named Michael Leg Bain the winner. As Baron David transferred the spear of champion to Michael, he described how Travis has leapt in with both feet of being involved in the SCA, not only being thrown weapons champion, but also becoming a marshall. Lady Hugoline the Delicate was then called up, and after singing a delightful little filk she wrote about the barony, she told everybody about the bardic competition she held. The theme was of course Arrows, Axes, or Ales or anything related to those, such as warfare or drinking in general. Bonus points were awarded for audience participation. She announced the winner was Zeus, and runner up was Raud. The next person their excellencies welcomed before them was Lord Titus, who judged the brewing competition. For the novice category, Padraig was the winner for his Brigits mead, a spiced herbal mead, and Lady Fiona s spiced mead won for the experienced category. The populace choice winner was a tie between Fiona s ciser and her spiced meads. There was a special unannounced and unintentional competition, the winner of the most yellowjackets drowned in their mead was Michael Leg Bain, with no less than wasp corpses floating in his bottle. Their excellencies spoke to this last year of their term as Baron and Baroness. They encouraged anybody who is considering running for the position to talk to them about the work that goes on behind the scenes, and they will be accepting names for the vote up to and in the morning of the St. Andrews event on October th. The candidates will be announced at court that day, and polling to begin in the spring. Lady Jenna Childslayer asked to address the populace so she was invited into court. She talked about upcoming events in our neighboring province of Ostgardr, and invited and encouraged everybody to come attend. The newcomers were welcomed into court and given the traditional guest soaps, with the words that their next event they wouldn t get the soap. Because they would not be guests, they re family. A number of Bronze Ducks were handed out, to Lord Ronan, Lady Jenna, Baron Dankwert, Lord Ozurr, Kaalos, Lord Peter, and Lady Slaine. In closing, their excellencies called up Monkey and Lord Akos to thank them for their hard work in putting the event together. They then thanked everybody for coming and thus ended court.
