Larder call for letters

Good morning Barony!

The current holder of the Baronial larder is ready to step down and we are seeking letters from anyone willing to take responsibility of the Baron-Marche of the Debatable Lands cookware and kitchen equipment.

This job entails having safe and clean storage space for all of the equipment, allowing members of the Barony to access the larder for events, checking in and out all cookware, and occasionally doing inventory. This position reports directly to exchequer and is considered a deputy rather than an officer and is appointed by the exchequer rather than voted on.

Anyone interested should submit letters of intent to Exchequer@debatablelands.aethelmearc.org.

Brewers Roundtable at Harvest Revel

Calling All Brewers!

For anyone who likes to brew and/or taste, you will be excited to hear that we will be having a brewing roundtable at the Harvest Revel on November 11!

That being said, we need samples to share at this event, so consider this an OPEN CALL FOR BEVERAGES.  The BMDL Brewers Guild will be bringing a (gluten-reduced!) porter that we just made, but we would love to have a range of drinks to discuss: beers, meads, braggots, cordials, etc.

You are more than welcome to come and sample if you’re not (yet) a brewer, but we would love it if those of you who DO brew could bring a bottle of your own to share.   The goal of this roundtable is to learn about different beverages – how they taste, how they are made, and what people have learned through the process.  Period is preferred, but not at all required.  Some level of process documentation is preferred, but not required.  If you are new, we have a great group of brewers who can provide as much (or as little) feedback/guidance as you would like, so please feel free to come and learn!

We do not yet have details on time of day for the roundtable, but we will do our best to schedule it so that people who wish to participate in martial activities can fight THEN drink.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email brewing@debatablelands.aethelmearc.org

Thanks so much – hope to see you there!

Fencing Practice 10/14

Regular fencing practice will continue this week, starting at 1 at Washington Blvd.

We will have practice next week as well.

This week will be starting, or resuming it depends on your point of reference, a BMDL practice monthly tournament. Rules to be determined by number of fencers present. Since this is a practice tournament authorizations are not required. If you lack an authorization and would like to get on contact me and I will work with you to complete it.

Loaner gear is available for both fencing and Cut and Thrust for those interested.

Brewers Guild – October Meeting Tonight!

Greetings brewers and friends!

Just a quick reminder that we’ll be having our monthly Brewers Guild meeting at my house TONIGHT (10/10) to brew our *gluten-reduced* porter for the Harvest Revel next month.

7 is the official meeting time, but the brewing will be starting closer to 5, in case you want to come early. (Grain takes time, especially on a weeknight.)

Bring something you’d like to share and discuss with the group – your own brew or not.  I also brought back a little something from Japan for everyone to sample (spoiler alert: we may have toured some sake breweries).

Hope to see you there! (182 Temona Drive, 15236)
