From the Crown Prints

Put on your finery and bring out your colorful plumage in celebration of spring. The College of the Voyagers and the Barony of Angels invite you to join them in the annual May Day celebration. We will have a day of fighting, games, and the traditional maypole dance! Bring your latest projects for the annual Arts & Sciences people’s choice.

In conjunction with May Day will be Kingdom Sciences Day.

The infamous Voyagers Maypole will make its appearance for the traditional dance. After the dance, we will pass the maypole to a new couple so it can continue its work. See who the lucky recipients for the upcoming year will be!

Memories

From Lachlan of Cromarty

This was a great event in a great park! As a parent, I almost wish all events were held there. It's almost entirely enclosed, and has a playground well within sight of the whole park - easy entertainment for the children. Though Cassandre and I had both kids with us, she was able to fight and I was able to join the scriptorium. All four of us had a good time!
At opening court, Lord Luke of Caerleon, long-time-Voyager-now-"abroad", sent a very nice letter wishing everyone a fun time. Thank you, Luke.
At closing court, Seraph Pursuivant Cormac Mór had us call long life to Their Majesties, Their Highnesses, Their Excellencies of Angels, Their Excellencies of Altavia, Altavia, Angels and Caid! >phew!<
I gather that Diego and Elisheva took home the May Pole this year. Best of luck to them!

From Duchess Natalya de Foix

Lord Diego and Lady Elisheva recently celebrated the birth of their second son, Malcolm; their first son, Remy, was born a statistically significant time AFTER taking the May Pole home with them after the 2010 event.
