Are you coming along to 40 Years of Music & Mayhem? Want to see your friends, family, and fello Stormholders and Krae Glasians recognised by the Crown or their Baronage?Then sounds like you need to... Recommend someone for recognition! But you say, "Oh, but I don't know what award would be most fitting or if they have one already!"That's fine, you can just tell Us or Their Majesties what the person has done that you feel deserves recognition, and we can work it out from there! Remember: Recommend early, recommend often! YiS Baron Leif and Baroness eleanora

Chess Challenge Wrap up & thank-yous!
by Miriam Staples 25 Mar '23

25 Mar '23

Hello Stormhold and KG! This wraps up the Chess Challenge for this year. I thank all those that helped. Specifically Hanbal for the heavy wrangling (and all of his Marshals), and Everard & Luther for the rapier (and all their marshals!) because there was a huge amount of fighting this year. I hope that this trend of increasing fighter numbers stays. Many thanks go to Thorfinn for Lists, and Ute & Sorcha for the field heraldry. Thanks to Gill for the Court Heraldry too :) Congratulations to the winners! Cormac for the heavy tourney, Leif for the rapier and Benjamin for the Chess Challenge. The wind didn't really like the large pieces, so thanks to Benjamin for providing the smaller, less wind affected board. Most of all, many such appreciation goes to all that come to this event, that brings our two Baronies together in (very) friendly competition. Truly its every single one of you that makes this event. Now I am going to rest, as I have no voice left! Yours, Miriam bat Shimeon Event steward
