Meaning of the Name Walking the Boards
As told by Lynnette de Sandoval del Valle de los Unicornios:
In the Dragonriders of Pern books by Anne McCaffrey, the Harper's Guild ate at tables based on their rank.
When a Harper gained a new rank, they walked the boards to the new table.
When the Guild decided to have a yearly dining event that included rank advancement, I suggested (well, pushed for actually) calling it Walking the Boards.
My vision was to have rank advancements announced at dinner, with those advancing "walking the boards" up to the head table to get a certificate of their new rank.
Great Western War Brewing Contest
On Saturday of Great Western War the Guild runs a brewing contest open to all brewers from all kingdoms.
