Nevenka has kindly offered to compile any comments and stories people have of Mike. As she doesn't have a LJ or a large list of people that knew him shes asked if people could email them to her.

---------------------------------------------------------
I mentioned on the OOC flambard board but will also do so here.

I am asking people if they have any nice memories.stories etc of mike to email them
to me and I will compile them and put them together so it can be given to his family
so they can see he was kindly thought of by so many people. You can sign your email
or leave it blank I do not mind.

I hope to give the compilation to someone who can get it to his family.

If anyone thinks this is a bad idea let me know and I will abandon the idea. The
reason I thought of this is due to the help such a book gave to the family of a
friend that was lost a year ago.

My email is nevenka80@yahoo.co.uk to send message to. Heading Mike

If you can pass this onto others it would be greatly appreciated. I will collect for
August and them compile in September.

This year the Unicorns faction has kindly organised me and Nic a birthday party.

http://unicorns.org.uk/docs/usp08.doc

Seriously, we are going to go along and monster the unicorns event and we'd like all the people who might consider coming along to ours for a birthday party to come along and interact with the Unicorns as well. Having monstered a unicorns event earlier this year we'd like you all to have as much fun as we did.

(mostly copied from Nic's LJ to save me having to rewrite it)

We have been having a LRP kit tidy up and we have decided that we now have a large amount of kit that we no longer need.

So.....

For sale

Lrp kit of all sizes shapes and quality, weapons, armour, props, and costume, some nice, some basic, some just plain unusual.

Drop us an email for a good time to pop over and take a look.

Spring, Rain (skelneth)
((a bit of ancient history here))

The rain had held off, but that didn’t stop the dampness in the earth from rising in an icy fog after dusk. Brisane’s ritual circle had moved again—and this time it was situated where they could be attacked from all sides. Great, thought Eclipse, just what we need. Flanking opportunities and an uppity ritual circle. And of course a death knight. Perfect for a party in March.

She held her wits in readiness for what seemed like hours. And then, without a sound, out of the mists came the first dozen wraiths, eyes burning red with malice and greed.

Having been to the meeting last night, and having made our presence known and a few of our opionions and plans for the year, we were able to take a tour around Bells Farm and have a look at what remains of the damage.

It seems that the damage to the main house was mostly water damage and some rather chared beams up in the roof, the arson attack had been at the back in the old scafolded area. The tarps there had caught fire and it had then burnt across the unused parts before it had started to burn through into the main house.

Down stairs had been refloored and replastered, waiting on the wall heaters to be fixed, and a final health and safety check.

Upstairs at first glance looked ok but still in need of a new carpet, and heaters are ok unlike down stairs, but there is basically a hole in the celling running the length of the back hall. The attic has got some beam damage, and no floor under the eaves, it looked worse but its an area that is least likely to be used by the general public.

Slightly worried that the living history bloke looks a lot like I expect Chris Hill to in 20 years or so
All in all, downstairs should be available again fairly soon and upstairs as soon as they can. One of the main problems in doing the renovations is waiting on the insurance money as between the council and Bell's Farm they have very little spare money.

We left the meeting to have a froth and plot in MacDonalds as to the possibility of a fund raising event and by the time we got home, we'd got a basic outline of a free form 1 night event, based period wise on 14-16th century with an East meets West intrege sort of theme to be run a Bell's farm later in the year.(hopefully)

Edit:

recycledgoth has also done a write up of the meeting on her journal, and summed it all up a lot more clearly than me.

Having got my results last week (one good, one not so good), I was pleasantly suprised to find this week when i went to find the resit details, that I now don't have to retake an exam as they had got my marks wrong and I have actually passed both modules rather than just the one.

So I have put the books back away and I no longer have to worry about having an exam on the thurday night before the Gathering.

Busy busy busy, seems to have summed up my life for the last couple of months.

University is now finished for the summer, providing i've managed to do ok in my exams, i am not expecting to do that well having had a lack of time for revision.
if i go back for semester 2 will depend on what is happening on the job front.

Had a good and manic HG, Not sure exactly what i did of note and i seemed to lose a day, but it was fun having 3 more people as part of the company to do stuff with and I am slowly being kicked back into being proactive again.

I am actually looking forward to this year. Very sorry to lose Twilight as she was so much fun (we had scones in her memory)and glad to regain EJ as he's someone i can cause trouble with when no one else is looking.

Actually took part in a couple of games (or turned up for one and took part in another due to a no show team, would have taken part in the 3rd, but sometimes getting a cross the marketplace can be difficult) for the first time since the games started.
