New Exchequer!
Please join me in welcoming Lady Arthes MacLeod, the new Exchequer for the Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands and Lady Zianna beguy urdina de Zabaleta, her Deputy.
Many thanks for the work done by THL Hara Kikumatsu over the last five years. You will be a hard act to follow and I can not find sufficient words to express my appreciation for everything that you have done for the Barony. I know that Arthes and Zianna will continue the tradition of excellence that you established during your time as Exchequer.
Vivat to Hara for her service and Vivant to Arthes and Zianna for their service to come.

Everyone is welcome! We look forward to seeing you!

Last Call for Website Updates
Unto the Barony, greetings from Kameshima Webminister! With Pennsic XLVI now behind us, we may now, once again, start to look to the future. It is my intention, barring objection from the Officers or Kingdom Webminister, to publish the new website by the end of this month.
If I have previously spoken to you regarding content for which I am waiting, please get it to me as soon as possible or else the site will go live without it.
If you are an officer, guild contact or marshal, and have not yet checked your portion of the new site to confirm that all information there is accurate, please do so as soon as possible or else the site will go live with inaccurate information.
Thank you for your cooperation, and I hope you are looking forward to this new chapter of the Barony’s online presence as much as I am!
From the Newcomer Point Coordinator for Pennsic 46, Baroness Desiderata Drake
Did you know that there will be an official Newcomers Point at Pennsic this year? It will be across from Troll in the same tent as the Watch (where Lost & Found used to be). We’ll be there to help answer newcomers’ questions about Pennsic and the SCA in general, as well as running a scavenger hunt for newcomers.
But none of this will be possible without the help of volunteers. AEthelmearc is known for being friendly and welcoming to newcomers, so please sign up for a one hour shift to help new people whilst sitting in the shade (and charging your phone).
AEthelmearc is sponsoring Saturday, 8/5 from 10am – 6pm, and so far, Her Highness Juliana, Their Excellencies of the Bog, and Her Excellency of the Rhydderich Hael are the only ones who have signed up for shifts. Since we anticipate it to be a busy day, we hope to have at least 2 people per shift. The following shifts are still available on AEthelmearc Day:
10a-11a (2 people)
11a-12p (1 person)
12p-1p (2 people)
1p-2p (2 people)
4p-5p (1 person)
5p-6p (1 person)
There are also many other shifts available during both peace week and war week. Please send an email to newcomer@pennsicwar.org with your name and phone number to sign up for a shift.
Thank you!

Archery Practice Canceled
This Sunday Archery Practice will be cancelled, due to weather and to promote the Barony meeting and garb swap now being held at the castle. Hope to see you there. Barony meeting starts at 1pm.
Fencing Practice Sunday
Greetings,
This Sunday will be the last fencing practice before Pennsic. If you need an authorization this will also be your last chance to do so before Pennsic unless you go to a different practice.
Practice will be at the usual time and place unless weather causes us to move, so keep a lookout here or on the blog for that call.
We will resume regular practice on Sunday August 19.

Barony Meeting/Practices Tomorrow WILL BE AT THE CASTLE
To alleviate some confusion, I have decided to just move practices and the Barony Meeting to The Castle, 755 Stonegate Dr., Wexford, PA 15090. This is for the Barony Meeting/Garb Swap and Fencing/Heavy/Youth Fight Practices.
The meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m., followed by the garb exchange, and martial practices.
Thank you to Earl Byron and Countess Ariella for their generosity and kindness in opening their home to us once again.
Sunday Archery (weather pending)
Due to the foretelling of rain, archery this Sunday will be tentatively on dependent on the weather.
Additional to the Policy Announcement
The SCA “Code of Conduct” is mentioned in the new policy and I have had a few questions about what that is. It’s in the Sanctions Guide, section I.C. –
“C. CODE OF CONDUCT It is expected that participants in the SCA shall treat each other with respect and civility and this extends beyond SCA gatherings. Participants expressing themselves in any forum on an issue related to the SCA shall likewise maintain civility and courtesy. When considering sanctions in response to behavior, the sanctioning authority shall consider the extent of the public comment as well as the gravity of injury done to an individual local branch, Kingdom or the SCA. Behavior that is disruptive to the peace and well-being of the SCA is subject to sanction from an expulsion to Revocation of Membership and Denial of Participation (R&D) especially where there is a continuing course of conduct.”
