An idea for the shire to participate in the Dublin Pride parade was mooted some time last winter, and Aodh set about liaising with the organisers, but we only got the green light a couple of months ago. I had suggested combining such a march with a demo-like revel, and Sela volunteered to organise a pub room for the purpose. Next was the time to start drumming up participants for both, and we were pleased that we ended up with good numbers. We had 17 people marching in the parade, representing Dun In Mara, Eplaheimr, Glen Rathlin and Harpelstane - Roxanne flew from Edinburgh specially for the occasion. (The planned representative from Polderslot is still recovering from her traffic accident).

Introduction

Hello! My name is Lisa, and I have been practicing HEMA (mostly Italian longsword) for about 2 years.

Dun in Mara held a brainstorming day on Monday 3rd June. These are the notes from that meeting.

Dun in Mara is going to Dublin Pride! And we would love for all of our friends, regardless of how you identify, to join us and show support.

At last, Coronet of Fools is just one day away. We will feast, we will have fun, and most importantly we will welcome our new Prince and Princess, or Princess and Princess, of Insulae Draconis. As you do your last minute packing and prepare to travel, these are some of the things we’ve talked about over the last few months.
