We held our first revel on April 23, 1977–so we obviously didn’t waste any time. The scan below is of one of our fliers. Sorry for the poor quality; the original looks like it was stepped on and crumpled at some time before it made its way into my files.

 

We didn’t know any better at the time–you’ll note (on the flier) Sorcha and Elaine are called “Lady,” though neither had an Award of Arms yet.

Sorcha O’Melachlin (in gold and pink) talking to people about the SCA.

Revelers at table, eating. Sorcha O’Melachlin standing in the background talking to someone. Note the heraldry information (on tinctures) up on the wall to the left.

(Interesting historical note: I received my Award of Arms exactly a year to this day later: 23 April 1978.)
