I request the kind ministrations of the Deputy Archer General for Thrown Weapons, M’Lady Juliana MacNayre, and M’Lady Alessandra de Piro in posting these scores to the TWIC scoring site. To all throwers I apologize for the malfunctioning quill used to record the scores, and for the subsequent mis-spellings. Mea maxima culpa. I have a scanned copy of the original score sheet which may be sent to anyone upon request.

Congratulations to Lord Lief of Crescent Moon, the best thrower at the event.

A total of eighteen throwers used the range on Saturday. There were no reportable incidents.

Your servant,

James of Odo, Fidelibus

HL Aiden O’Seaghdha Donates Hand Painted Shield to 2014 Lilies Fireworks Fund Auction

HL Aiden O’Seaghdha has donated a hand painted shield to the 2014 Lilies’ Fireworks Fund auction held by HL Duncan Skeene.

The shield is a 19″ x 24″ curved aluminum center grip Buckler. It was painted with enamels and Acrylics with enamel clearcoat over the top for protection. The art was done in a 14th century style with figures taken from existing effigies, and a stylized Lilies skyline with exploding fireworks. The surrounding columns and arches are painted in metallic gold and copper enamels to allow those areas to “shine” in the sun similar to Gold Leaf.

The buckler has a stainless steel boss and is wrapped in black Trim Lok and para-cord, and can be a functional shield on the rattan or cut & thrust fields, or just displayed as artwork.
