Not sure yet. I really need to see how the pager stuff at work turns out now that I'm the only remaining sysadmin.

I'm looking forward to faire in general this year. It feels like it's been a long winter. :)

Sir Brian,

Dame Dagrny and I could attend April 18th, imagine the children at Nana's and we at Faire, what a thought! I could not find restrictions in regards to arms, though I did see to participate in the Archery Contest one needs to bring your own bow and arrows. We are both avid Longbow archers and would certainly enjoy that!

I am at your service,
Sir Blackwolf

As usual, Sir Brian, I never know what my Lady has in store, but you can bet the Imp is chomping at the bit to get into mischief with her most beloved fairy accomplice....and I'll shall pack my recurve and a dozen of my best wooden shafts.

Sir Blackwolf,
It will be great to meet you and your lady in person on the 18th! Weapons are allowed
at NCRF with the customary peace-tie.  :)

Sir Andrew,
We are so looking forward to spending time with you and your lovely lady. I’m not sure how
Much longer I’ll be able to keep my mischievous Fae bride at bay for as Sir Edward has stated,
it has been a very LONG winter!  ;)

Hopefully the weather will hold up this year. We've had really bad luck with cold and rainy whether most of the times we've attended NCRF. We don't get down there often these days.

Interesting that they're splitting the season into two events this year.

 And the fact that they are two different sites. Kinda makes ya' wonder at the longevity of the Cary site.....

Good Sirs,

Indeed some friends of ours attended the year before last and it snowed! Sir Brian, we would be most Honoured to meet you and your Lady on the 18th then. Likewise we hope others herein may be able to attend as well! As I am coming off duty the morning of the 17th we plan to drive down and stay overnight, then attend the Faire on Sunday. Now my lovely Lady must decide whether she shall wear armour or Noble attire, in either case she will certainly have her axe and bow!

I am at your service,
Sir Blackwolf

Sir Blackwolf do you intend to wear armor on the 18th?

The weather forecast is most favorable with Sunday being slightly cooler.

What say you Sir Andrew and Sir Edward? When do you plan on wearing your armor?

Sir Brian,

It is indeed my intention to be in harness though I do not believe I shall have my great helm due to having my longbow for the Archery Tournament. Mayhap I shall look for a kettle helm while there. I would imagine my Lady shall be in her Noble attire.

We have just returned from our first Faire of the Season which our eldest daughter Produced. I am proud to say it was quite a success! We are in the process of updating the webpage which we invite you all to take a look at over the next few days as we do so. You may find it at http://www.medievalfantasiesco.com/RenaissanceoftheMatriarch.htm

Where and what time would you suggest meeting? This shall be our first visit to this Faire and we do not know the layout of the grounds. We look forward to seeing all attending this Sunday morn!

I am at your service,
Sir Blackwolf

I am cursing my luck...I shall not be there, as much as I dearly would like too, I couldn't talk any im my troup to come this weekend (17th) but I think I am going to VA when it starts, the 6 1/2 drive apparently is a bit much for some...I will miss you all, and I agree this has been a very long winter, I can't wait to be back in harness.

Here are some pictures of the NCRF. It was excellent spending time with Sir Andrew and his Lady as well as seeing the fine and most noble knights of the Fiat Lux doing what they do best! And it was a most happy occasion to finally get to meet Sir and Lady Blackwolf in person. You and your lady’s garb was impeccable! I regret that we did not get to spend more time with you both but perhaps at another event we will get to have the pleasure of you and your lady’s company once more.  :)

Sir Brian & Sir Andrew,

My apologies for the delay in our reply, since our return we have been quite busy! Also I have a horrid memory and offer my deepest apologies to both of your lovely Ladies,,, what were their names again? They say the memory is the first thing to go,,,funny, can't remember what the second thing was!

As for VaRF, we are planning to attend on Military History Weekend on Sunday May 30th, how might this suit others herein? As I am coming off duty Saturday morning we will not be able to make that day. As well we have a special celebration that evening called the Feast of the Fallen Warriors. Each year we host a Period Dinner at our home in remembrance and Honour of all the Valiant Warriors and Knights past, present and future. As part of the ceremony various Veterans, including myself that are attending conduct a Flag Ceremony where the various National Flags we use as part of our Company are properly and respectfully destroyed. Of course any and all that may attend from this Noble Assemblage are most welcome to attend!

Meeting you both and your most Esteemed Ladies was an Honour and a Privilege which we hope to repeat with you and all others herein. Until we meet again our Best Regards unto you and your Houses!

We are at your service,
Sir Blackwolf & Dame Dagrny
