Greetings,

This week Byron and Ariella have offered us the use of their home in Wexford for our practice, as we have not yet been able to arrange other accommodations for our indoor site.

Fencing will run from 2PM until 6 PM in the great hall.

There will be loaner equipment available.

Unto the Barony, greetings from Kameshima, Scribal Guildmaster! Due to a modern-life conflict, Master Kieran’s “Introduction to Cadels” class will have to be rescheduled for a later date. In its place, Kameshima and Isabel will be teaching “Scroll Layout 101.” We will touch on topics related to both illumination and calligraphy, including scroll dimensions, how to use an Ames Lettering Guide, working from exemplars, required scroll information, and some basic layout ideas.

We apologize for the late notice, and we look forward to seeing you this Wednesday at BMDL Scriptorium!

Come Early to Our Archery Practice, and help us clean the site.

Tomorrow Morning!! November 6th! I’ll be there starting at 9am!

There will be hot cider and soup, for those who come to help. Extra rakes for the leaves and gardening gloves for picking up trash and such are well appreciated.

11am we’ll set up our practice site for a post halloween shoot! All are encouraged to bring their leftover Jack-o-lanterns from halloween to shoot as targets. Most fun pumpkin to shoot gets a prize from the captain of archers! There will also be an archery contest for everyone to shoot and enjoy.

~ BMDL Captain of Archers, Lady Katheryn Täntzel Looking forward to seeing you there!

Greetings,

As there will be QRC and much fencing at Agincourt, and the response from the regular attendees whom I polled was negative on their attendance at practice this week, there will be no practice this Sunday.

We will resume practice as usual Sunday November 6 at Washington Blvd starting at 1PM.

Greetings!

Our October meeting will take place on Tuesday, October 18, at Songbird Artistry, 4316 Penn avenue in Lawrenceville at 7 PM. Her Excellency Baroness Constance Glyn Dwr (Sunshine MacIntyre) will teach us the basics of nalbinding (or single needle knitting, a technique predating knitting and crochet by centuries) See you all there! (for those of you who do not know what naalbinding is, check out this nifty Wikipedia article.

Greetings,

This Sunday fencing practice will continue at its regular time of 1PM. At 2 Don Corwin will be leading some drills, so if you are interested come and warm up so you are ready for those.

There is plenty of loaner gear available should anyone wish to give fencing a try, all you need it long pants and socks that overlap at the ankle, and males will need an athletic cup and we have all the rest you need, so give it a try and stab people in the face.

Next weekend regular fencing practice will be cancelled, as we will be invading Ballachlagan that week. Their site address is Warwood Middle School 150 VIKING DR Wheeling, WV 26003, for most of the city it is between an hour and an hour and a half away, and should be great fun.

The following weekend practice will also be cancelled due to Agincourt being held that weekend, so come out Saturday and fight in the Queen’s Rapier Championship and a Academy of Defense Scholar’s tournament.

We will return to normal on Sunday November 6.

Greetings,

My term of office as Comet Pursuivant, or Baronial Herald, is coming to an end at the December Officers’ Meeting, and I am not planning to attempt a third term. Interested parties should submit their letter of intent along with any relevant SCA experience to myself at herald [at] debatablelands.org and Odrianna at seneshal [at] debatablelands.org by that meeting.

The duties of the Office of the Herald include but are not limited to:

6) Maintaining the Baronial OP (this also does not need to be personally done by Comet, a deputy could be placed in charge of this, and will require coordination with the Webminister to continue doing it)

If you have any questions or want more information about any of these things regardless of whether you want to pursue being the next Comet feel free to contact me, we can always use more heralds at any level of experience.

In Service,

Drotinn Jorundr hinn Rotinn

Tomorrow will be the Officer’s Meeting. It will be held on CMU’s Campus in Porter Hall A18A. We will start at 8:00 p.m.

This meeting is open to all and I encourage everyone to come and see how your Barony works.

Today at fencing practice Lord Alessandro will be running some drills from the Destreza tradition of Spanish fencing starting at 2.

Practice will start as usual at 1, so come out and get some warm ups in and then hang out for the drills.

We will be runnning a bear pit to end practice this time around as a new idea so that we can really go out for all we have, so sometime around 4 or 4:30 that will start and run until everyone is too tired to continue.
