Due to forecast of rain all day, practice is canceled tomorrow 11/27.

Hello all!

I have some exciting news from the chatelaine office. We’re gearing up for all activities in 2023 – demos, parades, classes and more! I’m excited to help more people find our game and find their niche here.

If you’d like to help or be a deputy chatelaine, shoot an email over to chatelaine@debatablelands.aethelmearc.org. The more folks that volunteer, the more we can do!

If theres an SCA topic you’d like an intro level or higher class on, please also send an email to chatelaine@debatablelands.aethelmearc.org. My job is to help folks explore their interests in the SCA, I would be remiss to not take suggestions!

Thank you all for being such an amazing barony I cannot wait to share with everyone.

Yours in Service,
Svava

It’s going to be too cold to fence safely, so no practice this week, see you next week at Washington Blvd.

December 4 will start our use of our indoor winter site. The same one as last year Ace Axe Throwing in Homestead.

Due to the forecasted high of 27 degrees, we will cancel heavy practice on Sunday 11/20. We are going to be returning to our indoor site the first weekend of December. If the weather cooperates and we havr have enough interest, we will hold our last outdoor practice next week.
Sorry for the late notice.
Guillaume

The next online sewing circle is Thursday Nov 17th at 7:30 in the kingdom zoom room. I’ll do a little show and tell about the royalty garb and I’d like to encourage others to show anything you’ve recently finished or something older that you’d like to sew off. If you have questions or want the zoom link, contact sewing@debatablelands.aethelmearc.org
