Also, one of the Marshals brought home the Chaucer Award again this year. ;D

For those who haven't already seen my pics, or want some higher-rez images, I stuck them in a Flickr album:

Our very own Baron de Magnan. Twice now, an Order member has taken the award. Huzzah!

Huzzah and congratulations! :)

btw, Sir Edward I reviewed the pictures of you and Sir Nathan's longsword demonstration and I call foul on your part if you did not point out to Sir Nathan the distinct reach advantage you had with your new Heavy Ensifer Feder! ;)

(obviously it has become as much a favorite for you as mine has for me! :) )

Oh he pointed it out, but he roasted me anyway. Between the reach and my left thumb getting the worse of a harnessfechten dagger duel (it still isn't gripping things), it wasn't pretty.

It was an honor to get the Chaucer Award. Now I have a standard to live up to.

Nicky just announced that Frankfort will no longer be hosting Days of Knights. Not in 2015, or any subsequent years.

I'm not sure why. DoK IV is scheduled for 2015; nothing after that.

hopefully someone else picks up the reins!

Just a small note, DoK IV was always supposed to be in Oak Grove, not Frankfort, and is not affected by that news.

What happened?  His FB post sounded kind of ominous.

I really think all the people on the facebook thread should refrain from speculating and give Nicky the time to address it himself.

All we know, is that originally DoK 1 was going to be a one-time event, after which Nicky was retiring. Then he resumed hosting it for DoK 3.

Probably the best speculation is that he just can't or won't do it again, and the city only wants to work with him (as I've heard through others).

But it's all just speculation until we hear something concrete from Nicky, as Ian said.
