Revels revived
Oct. 23rd, 2012 10:11 amThis past weekend saw Thamesreach's nearly-annual fencing revel.
It marked the anniversary of my fencing authorisation (2 years now!) but with my complaining elbow, I didn't get nearly as much fencing in as I'd hoped. After some teaching, and a brief run through of melee engagements, my right elbow demanded time out. Sigh. I think I'm going to request some physio sessions from work.
However: we still had a fine turnout, and I ran an authorisation to allow a newly arrived Atlantian play in this land.
I was really happy to see the number of attendees; 17 adults at table, plus 3 kids, and three adults who'd dropped in during the day, and not stayed the whole evening.That's pretty respectable, really, with a mix of old hands and new faces both. We'd had a run of low attendance over the past few months, and it's great to see people coming back, and new folks turning out.
We also had live music! Our newly arrived Atlantian family is chock full of talent *and* instruments, so we had live music for brawles and petit riens.
We have some plans for the coming revels (music, Yule feast, tabletweaving...can't remember past that), which is encouraging. Having someone else running the revels is a relief to me. I'm happy to help (and Robert and I did lock up in the end) but am happier still not feeling on the hook each month. I feel free to contribute without the sense of obligation.
