Third Annual Assembly of the Old Rectorian Althing

Last night's assembly of Old Rectoryland's parliament has been heralded a great success by several of its attendees, governors and foreign delegates alike.

The Althing and after-party were well attended, and the wine, music, and love flowed freely all night.

The peace was disturbed only by the king (pictured, right, accepting the ceremonial milk from the Governor of Kiberian Catalan) who had rather too much to drink and, reportedly, became violent. The king unfortunately claims not to remember assaulting the Chairman Governor, Governor Bishop Wood, a foreign delegate, and a large tent, but believes the events may be attributable to his wish to "call it a night and go to bed", or to the anti-social behaviour, and even arson, of some attendees. He is reported to be slightly ashamed and very apologetic for his behaviour.

This morning, at 9am, Chairman Governor Louis McQuade of Edlingtonhal gave a short piano concert for the remaining governors and delegates, before leaving. The king has successfully cleaned up the remaining cans and bottles, reporting the casualties as one small, cheap folding table, and a heavily singed seat cushion. His glasses are still missing.

Next year, he asks that delegates refrain from playing with fire, and particularly from "lobbing footballs and s**t into next-door's garden" as unless these guidelines are adhered to, the traditional Althing meeting will have to be discontinued.

The conference was brought to an appropriate ending this morning by the arrival of prince Darren, bearing the Vicaridomus Palace's new flag, which now flies outside the Royal residence in Moorby.
