GR: `Once every Preston Guilds' Written by Linden (11/14/2003 1:56 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, GR: A Celebration every 20 years, penned by Golda

] The Preston Guild Festival was held every 20 years, and it was accompanied by various festivities including masquerades.

A quote from that page:
`1582 Guild Festival. Celebrated afterwards every 20 years.'
