From the feedback I heard during the day, the event was successful at doing exactly what it set out to do, help new people understand the A&S entrant process and help people new to judging A&S learn that as well. I even heard praise from a senior judge on how excited they were to see new people get excited about the whole process. So from top to bottom, everything seemed to go well.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Congratulations to all again!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>-Finn<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Seneschal<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> barony-bounces@cynnabar.org [mailto:barony-bounces@cynnabar.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Anne Stevenson<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, February 05, 2012 1:36 PM<br><b>To:</b> rufquad@comcast.net<br><b>Cc:</b> cynnabar<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Cynnabar] St. Catherine's<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>A great big thank you to you as well, Mistress!<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><br>It was a great day and I think was VERY successful!<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><br>I know that I certainly feel much more confident about either entering as a Entrant or a Judge!<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>-Giovanna<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Sun, Feb 5, 2012 at 1:15 PM, <<a href="mailto:rufquad@comcast.net">rufquad@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>What a fantastic day!
