[Cynnabar] What a Grand Day ....of tournaments!

[Elizabeth Calhoun]

Unto Their Excellencies Cynnabar and Their Most Distinguished Populace,
hail!

I want to apologize to everyone involved with the planning and staging of A
Grand Day of Tournaments at the Barony of Cynnabar for not having the
presence of mind at Court last evening to say what absolutely must be said,
and should have been said in the Royal Presence:



For there to be a grand day of TOURNAMENTS the Marshals-in-Charge must
devise ahead of time – by months! – the structures of the tournaments they
wish to offer participants.  They then must be on hand to set their
respective lists and ranges up and monitor the safety and conduct and
timing of the tournaments throughout the event.  Marshaling is day-long
martial “performance art.”

This was the commitment and triumph of Sir Gregoire de Lyon, Lord Galen o’
Conaill, and Forester Grey Oddson, at Cynnabar’s grand day yesterday.

Similarly:

It is said that armies throughout history “travel on their stomachs.”  They
also fight and live or die by the quality of their material sustenance.  It
is exactly the same for events!  And the martial victory in this list goes
to Mistress Arina fra Traentorp who *sold out* her lunch tavern save for
two portions of stew.



And I apologize again for not standing up in Court and making clear my most
heartfelt gratitude not to these notables alone, but to all who have done
so much to make the day as grand as it was.

In Service,

Godaeth, Event Steward, GDoT IX
