Was a helluva lot of fun. The roasted chicken was much appreciated, and what everyone else brought was yummy. Kudos to Japester and Sarah for the lovely fresh fruit. It went down a treat.
I surprised myself. I refused to quit, or just give up (seems to be my motto lately). Yes, I was exhausted, yes, walking was getting to more and more of a chore, but I didn't quit. And I ended up being the winner of "Last Archer Standing" (starting at 20 yrds, and then move back 5 yards with every round. 6 arrows. As long as you get at least one arrow in the target face, you keep going. None, you are out.) by ONE arrow at 55 (or was it 60) yards.! I also 'Robin Hooded" one of my arrows in a rather unique way. Stripped two fletches off, and the arrow continued down until it hit the shafte again.
Only irksome thing is the SCA sent us the wrong membership cards. I have the scanned filled out forms here, so I will resend them , and hopefully they will send the right ones soon.
