The seasons change, and time moves
on.  A new couple sits on the Baronial seats for the
great Barony of Lions Gate.  As they begin their reign,
they gather their entourage and take a grand tour of their
new lands.  In the northern reaches of their Barony,
they begin their circuit at a welcoming Scottish style great
house; the ancestral home of the Clan
MacAndrew.

Come join with the Clan as they
welcome the new Baron & Baroness of Lions Gate into their
home with a banquet in their honour.  The feast will
feature traditional Scottish fare, the center of which will
be the great highland red deer!  (Okay, it’s roast beef.
 But its persona was a red deer.)

The Wolf & Drum Tavern will be
in attendance (a cash bar), and hosted by the fabulous
MacAndrew Bar Babes.  No other alcohol will be
permitted.

Music provided by Collegium
Leonum.

***

The head cook has been asked if there will be haggis. 
There may be one for the head table, and perhaps another for
anyone who wishes to partake.  He’s a Scot, and
personally can’t stand the stuff.  But, that’s why we
invented Scotch Whisky; to wash down the haggis.

The doors will open at 5pm, and we
will close at 11pm.  Set up and clean up help is
needed.
