Unto the Noble Populace does Muirgheal send fond greetings,

In this time of enforced separation from out beloved hobby I send you welcome to join us for the Business Meeting now with the Budget review of peace, love, and virtual cookies (sorry, I cannot load real ones)! We are delaying one week to allow for any line item information or budget requests to Lady Arthes.

The meeting will be via Zoom on Apr 8, 2020 08:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada). More information will be sent to you regarding that process this weekend.

Please contact me or her Excellency Hilda if you have any questions or concerns. Please let me know if you have anything to add to the agenda.

In the meantime, be save, exercise caution, WASH YOUR HANDS, and be the neighbors that Lord Fred of the Hood would desire you to be!

Yours in service,

Muirgheal inghean Dubhghaill, Seneschal Debatable.

I will be holding online sewing circle, this Thursday April 2nd at 7pm in one of the kingdom zoom rooms. The online meeting information is below. The meeting forum should be available starting at 6:30. I will be connecting and making sure that I can share my screen and that I have working audio. I have a general page http://www.sbooth.net/sca-instructions.html that will link to the detailed instructions for hakama and kataginu once I have them in pretty good draft state. Questions email: sewing at debatablelands dot org.

Let’s see if we can make sewing circle work online. Sewing is scheduled for Thursday April 2nd. Even if we don’t meet in person, we can meet online. In fact, this may work better for many folks that cannot normally make it in person. I am continuing the Japanese garment topic that I started last month. I am creating online instructions for the making men’s hakama, or pants, and kataginu, or vest. I have also requested a kingdom online room. When I have published the instructions and receive details about how to connect to the online room, I will publish those links to the blog. During the online sewing circle, I will go over the instructions if folks want or just answer questions if that is needed. My plan is to cover kosode constructions short or long next time if I don’t get instructions ready for that this time. If you have questions, you can email sewing at debatablelands dot org, or you can find my email address in the dark pages if you look up Hara Kikumatsu.

Sharing to the List. Please mind the words of Master Illadore.

Dear Aethelmearc –

First off, remember United We Stand, Divided We Fall. Also – Wash your hands. Be kind.

Obviously, things are moving somewhat fast. The most important thing you can do is remember to follow the guidance of your local health officials. If they tell you to stay home, then stay home. Be safe. All of you are the best part of Aethelmearc.

I have seen the missives from the Board of Directors and I am in contact with the Royalty and the Society Seneschal. We’re discussing what to do next. I am going to ask for a bit of patience while we work few a things. As always, if you have questions, please contact me directly and we will help you.

I am also terribly excited to see all of the online discussions, classes, get togethers. Please keep that up. We are trying to work on a few technical solutions too – but again, please give us a bit of time to get things going.

Love,
Illadore
Aethelmearc Seneschal

Good Gentles, please hear the words from our Board of Directors.

“To the Crowns and Kingdom Seneschals of the Known World

From the Board of Directors, Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc.

Good Greetings,

The Board continues to monitor the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) spread across the world. Given the suggestions by various health organizations, including the CDC and Public Health England the Board of Directors of the SCA, Inc. recommends that all Kingdoms cancel, suspend or postpone all events, practices, meetings, and other SCA sponsored in-person activities through April 30, 2020.

The SCA is a Kingdom-based organization. The various Kingdoms have state, provincial and national governments either recommending or mandating responses to COVID-19. The Board asks that the Kingdom leadership follow the recommendations of the governments of the modern areas making up that Kingdom.

The Board recognizes that many Kingdoms have their Coronations and/or Crown tournaments in April and that canceling these events may cause a hardship. The Kingdom Seneschals should discuss this with the Society Seneschal for recommendations and suggestions. In addition, with every Kingdom being affected, the other Kingdom Seneschals may have advice and recommendations for you. The SCA may need to waive part of Corpora for these suggestions and recommendations to be put into place, and the Society Seneschal stands ready to issue waivers as necessary and appropriate, recognizing that some plans may need refining before a waiver could be issued. This is an unprecedented situation. The Board continues to monitor the responses and will assist Kingdoms as it can. At this time, the Board’s closure recommendations are just that, recommendations. It may be necessary in the future for the appropriate Corporate and Society officers to require postponing all SCA functions, but we are not there, yet.
