Good Gentles,<br>
<br>
The Barony of Darkwood held its annual Bard of the Oaks Audition at the
Darkwood A&S Tourney this past weekend, the result of which is that
Branwen Cryccthegn Deorcwuda is to be my successor. She will begin her
one-year term as Bard of the Oaks and become Darkwood's 20th
Anniversary Bard at the Baroness' Masked Ball (Nov 4).<br>
<br>
The competition for this position was very stiff and the judging
extremely difficult, as all three entrants possess great talent which
has obviously been honed through many years of hard work, but in the
end it was Branwen who won the day. <br>
<br>
Congratulations, Branwen!<br>
<br>
In Service to the Dream,<br>
- Lady Cassandra Rossignol of Darkwood<br>
Bard of the Oaks<br>
