Message from the Board of Directors

Greetings DebatableLands,

Please heed the words of the BOD.

Thank you,
Muirgheal inghean Dubhghaill, Seneschal

—–

On March 23, 2021, the Board of Directors passed the Resolution to Lift Suspension of In-Person Activity in the SCA as of June 1st, 2021 (North America).

Details of the Resolution and its conditions are located here: https://www.sca.org/news/resolutiontoliftsuspensionapril2021/

The President and the Society Seneschal have been given the responsibility of implementing the resumption of events within the rules above and adjusting the strictures as needed with Board approval.

Questions or comments should be sent directly to president@sca.org and seneschal@sca.org or your board Ombudsman.

This is our first step toward the resumption of SCA events. Working with the corporate officers and with input from the various kingdoms, we will continue to assess the pandemic environment and make changes going forward as needed, either to add further restrictions or relax existing ones as the situation allows.

No matter what safety precautions we put in place, there is no substitute for each individual being educated about the risk to themselves and their loved ones, and making responsible choices to protect themselves and others from this virus.
We look forward to seeing many of you, in person and in garb, as we prepare to begin in-person events again in North America.

Online Sewing Thurs Apr 1, 7:30

The next online sewing circle will be Thursday April 1st starting at 7:30, in a kingdom zoom room. Welcome to anyone who wants to sew, knit, braid, weave, iron, or work on other fabric or fiber activity. There have been some discussions of a distributed group activity in discord. I am inviting anyone who is interested to come join the discussion at this coming sewing circle. If you have any questions or would like me to send you the zoom information, please email sewing (at) debatablelands (dot) org.

Althing deadline and Chronicler opening

Good afternoon all! The next deadline for the Althing is 3/15, please have all content and reports in to me by the end of that day at Chronicler@Debatablelands.org.

In addition my time as Chronicler will be ending around the end of the year, that means it’s time for someone else to take the reigns. If you have wanted to be involved as an officer this is a great option to start with. The job of the Chronicler is one that does not have to dedicate time at events to the job and also does not have equipment involved in it at all. As long as you have a computer and internet access it is fairly easy to do the job and participate at business meetings.

If you have any interest please send me an email or find me on Facebook!

Online Sewing Circle Thurs. Mar 4th at 7:30

Thursday March 4th at 7:30 we are having online sewing circle. There is a theme this time! I will present a short survey of basic Japanese clothing. The emphasis is on SCA practical clothing and not necessarily “courtly attire”. I will have pictures of the garment from some good costume resources as well as pictures of things I have made. However, I realize that not everyone may want this, that’s why we have breakout rooms. The advise with breakout rooms is to use the latest computer or app download vs the website because the website won’t allow you to switch rooms. As always if you have a question about this please contact sewing (at) debatablelands (dot) org. We request that you do not post the zoom information on public sites, but do appreciate when you spread the word.

Welcome to your new A&S Minister!

Unto the gracious citizens of BMDL,
It has been my pleasure to serve as your A&S minister for the past couple of years. With the end of my term at tonight’s officers’ meeting, please welcome Ishiyama Shonagon as your new A&S Minister! He brings with him past experience in this position and will assuredly continue helping all citizens of the barony know of all the A&S happenings, especially those that we hope to reinvigorate after the plague times.

Vivat to Ishiyama Shonagon as he assumes this role!

Yours in service,

Baroness Isabel Fleuretan, now retired. 🙂
