This is not a drill! The Althing deadline is in 10 days on September 15th!
Please send all articles and officers reports to Chronicler@debetablelands.org!
This is not a test!
Sewing circle will resume Thursday September 5th at Hara Kikumatsu’s house. The new location is 1105 Shady Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15232. The time is still 7:30-9:30. Both hand sewing and machine sewing are encouraged and any level of sewing is welcome. If you use a sewing machine, there are two regular machines, one serger, and a single color embroidery machine here. If you wish to arrange to use the embroidery machine, you should contact Master Ishiyama Gen’tarou Yori’ie, the expert on that machine. If you know you will be using a machine or ironing board extensively, you may want to bring your own, so you don’t need to wait to use the equipment here. If you would like help with pattern design you should still reach out to Mistress Ts’vee’a bas Tseepora Levi to make an appointment. If you have questions contact sewing at debatablelands dot org. Please note, there are two cats at the house so medicate as needed.

Last Sunday (08.25) and the Sunday before that (08.18), the woodworking guild responded to a call for assistance from the archers of the Barony. Master Alaric provided the lumber, hardware, and instructions, and the woodworking guild provided the labor to build three new target stands for the Barony.
These are of the same design that the Debatable Lands has been using for many years, but without the dings and arrowheads some of the older ones contain. Captain of Archers Kathryn Tantzel says that with these extra stands, archery practice can now set up both the adult range and the youth range at the same time!
Many thanks to Master Alaric for providing the materials and plans. Thanks to Elss, Pavel, Tofi, and Dave for participating in the construction.
Due to seven pearls this weekend, I’m cancelling practice this Sunday, September 1st. I am still planning to have practice Wednesday at my place, weather permitting. Good luck to all champions at seven pearls!!

Hello Debatable Lands!
The Heritage Fest demo at the Allegheny Cemetery in Lawrenceville is a little over a week away and we’re still in need of volunteers! The Fiber Arts Guild has promised some fun displays, the Scribal Guild will be doing a make-and-take calligraphy and illumination activity, and the Debatable Choir will be performing… but I still haven’t heard from the fighters!
I have both heavy and fencing marshals ready to run the lists. Now I need people to fight in them! If you’d like to be a part of this demo please join the Facebook group at the link below. I will be posting updates about parking and setup logistics soon.
Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/450173469165784 and respond on the Facebook event page, or send me an email at ben.nemeth233@gmail.com and I will make sure you know where to go.
Hope to see you there!
