Ideas For Arms

We held our first revel April 23, 1977--so we obviously didn't waste any time. The scan below is of one of our fliers. Sorry for the poor quality; the original looks like it was stepped on and crumpled at some time before it made its way into my files.


1st Revel Flier

We didn't know any better at the time--you'll note (on the flier) Sorcha and Elaine are called "Lady," though neither had Awards of Arms yet.

(Interesting historical note: I received my Award of Arms exactly a year to this day later: 23 April 1978.)

Meistres Rhonwen welcomes others who were there in the early days adding their reminiscences--after over 30 years, her memory is a bit faulty, and much information has disappeared in the fog. E-mail her at julia.west@REMOVETHIS.sff.net.
