Rapier War 5 is in the books. The weather was a bit chilly at night but otherwise close to perfect.
Set up and take down went smoothly and rapidly for the most part.
Duels and battles and melees oh my! Everyone, I believe, got their fill of fun fights over the course of the event. With so many fun things planned.
We also hosted Queen’s Champion Thrown Weapons, ran by the ever-capable Brig inghean Uateir. Our own Tiberius won and will fulfill the role for the remainder of Her Majesty\u2019s reign. (I won’t mention my score; I already apologized to her Majesty many times).
The only small issue was gate arrangements, but Our Baron handled it with aplomb fitting for his station. It was a learning experience and will be adjusted for going forward.
If you weren’t able to make it this next we would be delighted to see you next year!<\/p>\n
