Memories

from Lachlan of Cromarty

  • The day of Crown featured challenging weather (somewhat common for Live Oak Camp Crowns). Clouds of dust raced across the list fields and blew down some of the pavilions, wooden list barriers, Her Majesty's throne, and a fighter or two.
  • The crucible was well run and was completed in fast order.
  • Final round was best three of five fights with a variety of weapons forms. "Six foot spears" devolved into silly grappling, requiring the fighters to be separated repeatedly, until the marshals simply declared "OK. They're glaives now!" and the more typical clubbing techniques could be employed.
  • The lunch was fantastic!
