Many thanks to everyone who helped the Guild this year, either with set up or takedown, giving out spellcards, or coming down to the guild and roleplaying with us, embracing our plot and helping to get it further out in the field.

We have made some major steps forward this year, and had a few setbacks, but overall everyone has been very positive - well at least thats the vibe i've been getting, so I hope its right!

Its been a difficult year for me with family commitments following the event calendar change, so a special thank you to Rhys, Lee, Donna and Rue who have understood and not made it an issue for me.

Going forward we still have much to do - increase guild and college membership, get more people visiting the guild, particularly for college shifts, and continue to generate ideas to help with our current IC problems. I think the idea of a newsletter is very good and will help achieve this.

We will be running a sanctioned event in the spring and details of that will be on here as soon as they are finalised.

There will be a guild presence at various sanctioned events over the winter and someone has already started a thread on here to see who's going to what, so keep an eye on that one.

Any new members that have asked for guild group access this week - bear with me - I am getting to it and it should be sorted for you soon.

In the meantime, thanks again, and I look forward to seeing you at events in the future.

Thanks to you guys for having awesome plot to get involved in! I've really enjoyed the time i've spent with the guild this year

I would really like to echo Poppy,

The Gathering was the best larp event I have ever had. Its has to be said that this would not have been possible without this guild.

Its a great place to be. The guild plots sparked some great roleplay, the characters were easy to interact with and fun to be around. I really hope I can help get people in and show those that are not involved what they are missing, because people really are missing out.

Big thanks to th people I know who made my event what it was:

Gilzan, Snows, Alexander and meep just to name a few.

many more ace events to be had i think

It's Gilzarn dude

Again, just echoing what people have said. I had a really good event guild-wise and left with loads of keen for the next event. Many thanks to plot team and NPCs who have given me some plot that I can really sink my teeth into and for giving us stuff to do that actually requires sitting down and thinking - if it weren't for puzzles and planning I don't think I'd ever get the chance to sit down for more than 5 minutes without thinking of something that I should be doing.

Newsletter should be ready for the spring event, I have the template set up I just need pictures and to actually write down everything that needs to go in. If anybody has anything that they want in there just send me an e.mail.

Thanks guys! I really enjoyed playing with the Guild at the Gathering and am hoping to spend a lot more time with you next year.

Giving out cards and being useful was fun!
