Court Reports

Greetings, all.
Just home from Rapier Champs and a bit tired so I may forget or overlook something. If so, please consider it a by-product of fatigue.

Signeur Jean-Paul du Casse is the new Queen's Rapier Champion.
Alphonso Pontelli was inducted into the Order of the Golden Rapier and is now Don Alphonso Pontelli. (He also went well into the
sweet sixteen during the tourney.)
Lady Isobel Chamberlain is the latest recipient of the Silver Rapier.
Lady Heather Rose de Gordoun was inducted into the Order of the Silver Crescent.

His Majesty also mentioned that the lawsuit has been settled. There is more information available on the Society web page.

As ever, the Concordian presence was impressive and I am proud of all of you. Vivant!
Pierre, Baron

Addendum: The East Kingdom office of Mistress of Lists changed from Mistress Lylie of Penhille to Mistress eLeri Nefyn, both of
our Barony.
Vivant to all

From His Excellency:
“A VERY brief meeting was held to approve Winter Nights for October and Bjorn's Ceilidh for November. Unfortunately minutes were not take at this meeting (which lasted, without exaggeration, less than a minute), but both events were approved by those in attendance (which, of course, was not taken, either). Although it seemed to make sense at the time, subsequent reactions and considerations have indicated it was not the grand idea it seemed like and will not be repeated.”
