I’ll let the various leaders of their respective areas thank their participants themselves, but I wanted to specifically thank Their Excellencies Bjarki and Valka, Sir Midair for being armored MIC as well as MC on the list. Throckmorton for rapier MIC (and MC), and Ilsa for A&S coordinator. And lastly, to Tairdelbach for his past 21 years for coordinating this event for the Barony. I now know the amount of effort he’s done behind the scenes to make this happen. Thank you Art. And for those that just showed up to support in general (but might not get mentioned by name), thank you as well, your support is appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’d like to have a ‘after action review’ at the end of this upcoming Thursday business meeting to get people feedback.
