There was a veizla. It seemed to go very well. There were a few problems, and probably some more that haven't been drawn to my attention, but the food was very good and the room was shiny (and the post-coffee mints weren't mints, which I'd meant to ask for but not got round to), and I like the university centre as a venue (though we may get food+port for cheaper than £20 elsewhere).

Despite some blank looks everyone seemed to like the tarot cards and found their places. They all answered challenges, though I was concentrating too much on everything else to really take any in. The new Reeve (Dan Hulme) was invested successfully. We got back to the aftermath and had generally jolly time.

There was apples to apples again, and a nice but reasonably restrained amount of cuddling and so on, and much nice wine -- though it remains to be seen how nice it will be when we're sober :)

I rescued some of the minor arcana I gave out, and with a few alterations (XI Strength Knave of Wands) I have a complete 54 card deck for maoing. Conveniently, these are all wands.

Oh, are we meant to give the cards back?

Thank you, no, only if I came and asked you to. Most people had major arcana (eg. The Magician, The Emperor) which were sometimes fairly appropriate and I wanted you to have, but a few had minor arcana cards (eg. 4 Wands, 5 Wands, 6 Wands), and I collected many of those back when people didn't mind because (a) I particularly liked some of those pictures and (b) that gives me four complete suits again.
