Did any of the public get involved in the larp?[/quote]
Not the public-public, but Carl talked some of the Red Ravens into helping us with one of the scenes, and we also had help from the guys at the Beer Tent, the Medieval Shop and the MC.
That’s all good, participation is participation. Was that what you didn’t feel went as planned?
You’re welcome. I had a lot of fun. Sorry I had to leave so soon - I was kidnapped by a Turkish slaver and dragged away… 
Bashing the Sherriff of Nottingham over the head with a mandolin was fun too.
There were plans for us to have a slave auction and have Robin save you, but sadly it didnt happen.

WOE.
S’okay - my ride had to leave early and so dragged me off in chains. On the plus side, I didn’t get home at midnight.
Poor Alan, plunking an Ud in a Turkish harem trying to hide the fact that he isn’t a eunuch…
So you guys thought this year was awesome?
Well! Wait till you hear this!
I’ve got official word that next year’s Taupo joust (same time, same place) will not just be any old tourney. Oh no.
Next year, Taupo will be the host of the Official Jousting World Championships.
From what I’ve heard, there’ll be at least thirty international jousters there, it’s going to go over three days and all the stuff you loved about this year - free camping, free hot pools etc - will still be there!
It’s going to be awesome! 
WOOHOO!!!
Go Kiwi and go Sir Graham

While i was desperately trying to sleep last night i kept having images of the entire event being showcased on super sports sunday, with the guys from pulp sport doing commentary.
