FOG.

and thorn regalia for one year and representing Tir Bannog at

the
regalia with pride. If you win you must make sure all regalia
is
returned to Tir Bannog before the next FOG and decide on what
the
competition will be for choosing the successor.

This year the midsummer rose has decided she is feeling puckish.
The
gallant thorn contestants will be chosen first. The Lords will
be
asked to present a personal Tribute to the Rose. This tribute can
be
written before the event and brought with you. Lords will be asked

then
choose the new Gallant Thorn.
