Results on the Winter Solstice Party.

Well all went well, but I was a busy boy on Saturday getting it all ready. I found that my trestle table was buried under furniture in the Fort store room, so I had to make something out of fir slabs.
The lamps had too much oil in them and the whole thing caught fire! Other than that all went well and we all enjoyed ourselves. Not everyone had period clothing, but we did not let that spoil out get together. I have no doubt it will improve over the years.
One couple from Guyra were given the wrong directions and arrived late, but it was good to see them arrive aventually, and I would like to thank them and everyone else for the effort they put into this first Winter Solstice Party.
