The conflict resolution between the Dragon Riders and the Mafia was so successful, the Mafia gifted the 2nd wigwam to the Dragon Riders.

Mell bought in… Continue reading July 2020 – Dragon Riders and the Mafia reach an agreement, owls eat shrews
July 2020 – Dragon medicine, tribes, bikes, Dr Who
So much went on this day it is troublesome to even remember.Tribes came and went.

June Zoom – Beech
It was a delightfully intimate group this week, only 7 of us, with 3 of the faithful tribe, Brook, Toby and Ryan. We missed Rachelle and Sue. Ryan presented us with an immediate quandary.
