HEATHERWYNE ANNIVERSARY
by Lord James the Inconstant
Heatherwyne, CAID - The Tourney to celebrate the second year of Heatherwyne's existance was held June 14, A.S. XV, at the California Country Club in Whittier. Stephan von Halleck was the autocrat, Lord Edward de Anvil was the banquet autocrat and liason with the Country Club. Lord James the Inconstant was the Marshal-in-charge and the major-domo at the feast.
The fighting was the traditional melee style. There was a general field melee, a pillage melee, a town fight, an orcish melee, a two weapons melee, and a home game. Fighters were placed into teams at random for each melee and a handicap point system awarded points to individuals according to team performance. Sir Martin the Temperate was the overall winner followed by Thorsen the Dane and Peterzoliden.
The menu for the banquet that night is reproduced elsewhere in this issue. In Cooks Press, along with Vanessa's pasties as promised last month, you will find the recipe for balfour rice as served at the banquet by Lord Edward.
The revel started with a Royal Navy of Caid contest for a sea chanty. Entries were submitted by Sir Charles of Dublin, Mistress Natalya Gregorovna, Thorsen the Dane, and Lady Mairi nic Laren. They then graciously continued with more songs while the judge, Stephan, burdened with such a choice, finally decided the award to Sir Charles.
The Best Dressed Girl in Port contest took much examination and deliberation (SCHOONER! SCHOONER!) and was diverting for the populace and Navy alike. King Martin most royally acted as master of ceremonies and all decisions but his are debateable.
The night ended with dancing, conversation, and clean up.
