[Moo] Team Stierbach Progress Report / St. Aiden Heraldic DisplayTeam Tourney (AKA Sapphire Joust)

What a wonderful idea!  Perfect for getting the units together and
showing Atlantia what a force we are.  

Flaithri, I am sure, will be more than happy to bring his spear, but
unless they allow combat archery, and I can get authorized before then I
will not be able to join you on the field.  I am, however, willing to
fill in gaps where I could be most useful (herald, cheering, water
bearing, etc).  Yes, water bearing...there are extra points for personal
water bearers with heraldic drinking jugs and outfits!

As this is a heraldic competition in addition to a melee, we need spiff
and more of it!  If you are in possession of one of the war tabards and
are not planning on attending Sapphire I ask that you turn it in so that
someone on the team may wear it.  For anyone else coming to cheer on the
fighters, remember to pack your baronial colors!  Of course, we will
have the favor basket with us in case anyone forgets theirs at home.  If
anyone has ideas they are willing to do to make this a grand display
please let me know.

You mentioned, William, that we needed banners and pennons.  Well we
have the old war standard, a new war standard (with the warlord), a
large silk banner, a German style banner, the baronial device banner, 12
pennons with the populace badge on them, and one large felt banner with
a bull on it.  Anything else anyone thinks we may need?

Thank you William for organizing this endeavor, it will be a wonderful
experience.

Yours,

Baroness Rhonwen

DisplayTeam Tourney (AKA Sapphire Joust)

At Sapphire Joust on 24 May a St. Aiden Heraldric Display Team Tourney
will be held.  I am trying to put together a team to represent our
Barony.  Any of you hard charging Stierbachians who have wanted to take
part in a bit of fighting and a bit of pomp, well this is your chance. 

I know that most of our fighters have the Stierbach helmet device that
can be worn as an avantail.  I think that would take care of the
matching heraldry requirement for the team participants.  The rest is
just getting folks out to participate.  I have put together a short
progress report to help keep track of what we have and what we still
need to get to field a team that will bring additional glory to our
Barony.  This is the initial report, so some of the numbers MAY be a bit
low but I fully expect them to go up.  Please pass this on to any folks
you know who are not on the mailing list, or whom you know just don't
check email.
