Hi y'all , finally finalised the arrangements for my 50th nameday celebration , and of course , you are ALL invited. We are holding it at the Royal Naval Association Social Club, Welwyn Garden City, on the 7th June, 8pm start . It will be a A Song of Ice and Fire themed Fancy Dress Party (or cosplay as I believe the new world calls it) and I'm hoping it will be a lot of fun. If you would like to come , please pm me your postal address and we shall dispatch a raven with the invitation scroll to you forthwith. I understand many of you live many leagues from Welwyn Garden City and wont be able to make it, but I have had an idea so that you mayhaps be represented . We shall be decorating the hall in the Westerosi style ( we shd have a Wall , a Godswood and an Iron Throne if all goes to plan ) and I am going to ask everyone who comes to design their own family sigil on a shield, so these can be hung around the hall similar to the shield hall at castle black, and I thought it would be great if any of you guys who can't make it fancied joining in. Mine will probably be antlers , a pint of Guinness and a football, something like that . So if you fancy having a bit of fun with it and designing your own coat of arms representing your own character and passions , please pm or email it to me , and we shall get them all printed out and displayed around the club, it would be brilliant to have my manwoody chums represented at my party. Hope to see loads of you there , be prepared for a shocking lack of sobriety

Brilliant idea! Can't wait for this and need to get thinking about my sigil - maybe something movie related

This sounds fun! I'll finally have to make a decision on which of the many napkin drawings I need to choose!

I should be good for this. Sounds awesome!

excellent KC !Be great to see you there should be fun, me and T (or shd that be tina and I ?) are going as Robert and cersei (or shd that be one is going as Robert and cersei ) . we're still designing the invites/scrolls , we'll send them out soon , (or bring them to the next meetup if that's easier?)

Me and Thomas are planning to come as arianne and jaime.

happy birthday jed

If House Wyck could find it's way into the Shieldhall, that would be grand!

hi all , just a bump to remind anyone who would like to send a sigil for my birthday, I need them in by Friday please as I have a busy week getting older next week

Finishing ours at long last. Hopefully send them to you by Friday!

Happy birthday Jed! Hope you have a great party!

Here is my contribution.

Sitting here and "creating" a shield crest and came across this

But I really like the one I made better...



And our words would be:

We will not forget

thanks guys , love 'em still gutted you can't be there Nadine , I'm hoping we can do something for the season finale when all the party shennanigans are done , think that cd be done now that we've had the mini break and the series finishes one week later

costumes are hard!

Ya we are gutted too but the best things come to those that wait! End of season party will be epic. Direwolves will be a must! LOL


If anyone can pull it together and make it look fab it HAS to be you Bina, I have faith! Oh and pics are MANDITORY!!!

HAPPY NAMEDAY!

thanks everyone , I had a fantastic day, and really looking forward to the tourney tonight !

What a fantastic event! Thanks again for the invite, Jed. We really enjoyed ourselves. The roast boar was t die for and can't wait for the photos to start popping up!

We lost about 3 fingers each during the Finger Dance by my count.

cheers mate , glad you came and glad you enjoyed it , I know I had the best time ever! Shame you missed the afterparty , it went on til about 6.30am at my gaff, great sing song (great neighbours too!)I thinks it's safe to say the AZBO had a good time , I think he got more than fed after midnight . Thanks for dressing up and doing the sigils etc , (I love mine ta) I think I'm going to get my bro to sort a web album of the night so I can link that to here , might take a while but I think that'll be best
