[Wyewood] FW: Huzzah Wyewood!

This is attached to an event report.
Lady Leticia commissioned me to write something
about our first attempt at becoming a barony. It was
performed at what I believe was Wyewoods first Yule Feast

By HL Robert Trinity the Chicken 
Hearted

To Barony, or 
not to Barony, that is the question.
Whether ‘tis 
nobler in the shire to change our course.
Or to settle 
into a changed shirehood.
And by 
opposing, baronial status.  No more 
the calm continuity of royal representation.  
The heart-ache 
of a thousand repeated discussions.
The politics 
of baronial selection. 
Devoutly to be 
wish’d minimal interference, from crown, from outside: 

Ay, that’s the 
rub. 
For in that 
selection of leadership, woes may come.  

When our 
patrons shuffle off Bubba’s thrones, must give us pause: 

there’s the 
respect that makes change so perilous.  

For those who 
bear the lead of the debate, 
the unchanging 
minds, 
the repeated 
points, the pangs of hurt feelings,
the lobbying 
of support, the embracing of change,
the fear of 
change,  the fear for our 
preparations and abilities.  

What of 
actions that may make some depart our village, never to return. 

Such has been 
and shall always be so.  

But the dread 
of Wyewood after change.  

The 
undiscover’d country from where there’s no possible return, puzzles us all. 

And makes some 
rather bear what we know, 
than to fly to 
others that we know not of. 
Thus a fog 
does make questioners of us all.  

And thus the 
basis of our fears, 
Is sicklied 
o’er with the memories of past groups and the endless repeat of history.  
Wyewood shall 
travel these paths, and with hope, not lose its soul.  
Ay, 'tis the 
greatest fear of them all.

Last night there was the soliloquy of "To Barony or not to Barony," 
could Robert or Leticia post that to the list so we may see it 
again?

  Additions to the Companies:
  Fork: Lord Evrard
  Spoon: Lord Tomas
  Knife: there were 3 but I was in the kitchen and missed 
  that
  WyeKnot: Lady Elisabetta

  Of food there was a feast for the eyes, nose and palette. Being 
  kitchen staff I only sampled the orts returned from the banquet hall and all 
  was superb!
  Much merriment, many tokens of thanks from our Royal Patrons; 
  tithes to Crown and Shire were in great abundance and very 
  fine.

  Performances of song, music and oh, that filked soliloquy of 
  Lord Robert's made the evening most enjoyable.

  What I enjoyed the most was being part of the team of 
  a 1st time autocrat and 1st time feast maker. The ladies did an 
  amazing amount of planning and pulled off the small glitches with the acumen 
  of seasoned veterans!

Gentle Lords and Ladies of Wyewood,

Several 
      years ago I came to Wyewwod, returning home from a 5 year sojourn in the 
      wilds of Caid.  My very first event was the Yule feast, whatever 
      name it was at the time is unimportant.  What was important was 
      the feeling of not only welcome but of celebration that the feast 
      entailed.  Tokens were distributed, knives forks and spoons and a 
      napkin were given to worthy gentles, and a great year in the shire 
      was reflected upon.  Once again, what a year we have had, 
      and WHAT A FEAST!!!
Huzzah to the Autocrat Wilhelmina von 
      Weissenheimer and her stalwart companions to make it such a wonderful, 
      colorful event!
Huzzah to the Feastocrat Ella of Annandale, for an 
      utterly tasty meal in every regard!
Huzzah to all the servers who 
      toiled from the kitchens to the tables and back again.
Huzzah to all 
      the servants in the shire, some who are probably still at the hall 
      finishing clean up as I type this.
Huzzah to our Royal Patrons Cire and 
      Elisabeth who worked so hard to make sure all were recognized in this 
      season.
Huzzah to all of our new villagers of Wyewood, may you find 
      peace and a home in this shire!

Huzzah 
      Wyewood!

Gratefully in service,
Evrard de
