This week we will make seven-strand woven bracelets out of red and white string that can be donated to Her soon-to-be-Majesty Anna Leigh for the children of the Kingdom.

I will have all the materials needed, but if you have your own red and white yarn, bring it along if you want.

Location: Washington Boulevard martial practice site
Address: Allegheny River Blvd and Washington Blvd.

NOTE: Even though the parking lot is full of huge white trailers, there is still quite a lot of space to park. There is also a parking lot up Washington Blvd where the cyclists park, and a path down to our site.

Standard disclaimers here:

We are accessible to our less mobile friends, have free parking, and are a pet-friendly site. Yay!

Bring everything you need for your comfort including a chair, a beverage or snack, bug spray, sunscreen, hat, cabana boy, musical instruments, wellies, etc., etc., etc. Also, the site has a porta-john and no running water so make appropriate preparation.

If you need assistance or have questions, please call or text me at 724-759-3333.

Thank you for asking! These meetings are free and there is no materials charge, as we are generously supported by the Barony and the teachers themselves.

Thrown weapons update

Konichiwa Debatable Lands!! Looking at the radar, it seems we are directly in line with the former hurricane/tropical storm system that came in thru the gulf. It’s long, it’s wide and it’s going to blast is all weekend long. Therefore I’m cancelling practice right now, because I really don’t think it’s a good idea to be in that particular place when there is a whole lot of water heading our way, because flooding, and flooding very quickly at that. So we will try again next weekend. Until then. Sionara!!

A and S — Inkle Weaving — Sunday, September 9th

The was MUCH interest in our fiber arts display at the Children’s Museum, so I thought we would get together and discuss weaving on an inkle loom, and other types of fiber-y fun.

===>>  But wait! THLord Kuma has noted that the current forecast is for significant rain on Sunday: 2-3″ of rain on Sunday morning with another 1-2″ in the afternoon and a high chance of flooding. Since the Washington Blvd. site is a flood plane, if this forecast holds, we’ll need to cancel for safety reasons. Please watch these feeds — I will post a message by noon if A&S is cancelled.

Date: September 9, 2018
Time: 1 PM.
Location: Washington Boulevard martial practice site
Address: Allegheny River Blvd and Washington Blvd.

Please stay safe –

Greetings from your Comet Pursuivant! Here is the court report of Baron Brandubh and Baroness Hilderun for Iron Comet, held on June 23, AS 53.

Their Excellencies welcomed everyone and begged them to seek their comfort.
Her Excellency requested the presence of THL Guillaume le Noir and Master Janos Mezaros to be recognized for their display of courtesy throughout the day. Each received a token from Her Excellency.
Their Excellencies called the co-autocrats of today’s event, THL Jorundr hinn Rotin and Lady Nicola Beese, to recognize the hard-working members of their staff that helped make everything possible this day.

Their Excellencies invited those gentles who competed in every martial form to come forward and be recognized for their honorable feat. A record four gentles fit that category this year, including three youth participants in the youth categories. The overall winner for the youth division was Carl MacBranduibh, scroll by THL Rachel Daliceaux, and the overall winner for the adult division was Lord Robert MacEwin, scroll by Maighster Kieran MacRae.

Their Excellencies next invited Mistress Arianna of Wynthrope to approach them and be recognized as being Baroness Hilda’s inspiration of the day. Her efforts were many, including working with the youth fighters, MOLing the heavy weapons tournament on short notice, and working on scrolls. Her Excellency presented her with a token.

As there were numerous tournaments throughout the day, Their Excellencies were proud to announce the winners of said tournaments and new Baronial champions and seconds!

Their Excellencies thanked Treygor Greypanther and Sir Maghnus an Chnoic na n’Iora for their service as Baronial Heavy Weapons Champion and second, and announced Lord Robert MacEwin as their new heavy weapons champion, with THL Guillaume as his second.

Then more regalia was transferred.  Their Excellencies admitted there was a whole lotta regalia for Their fencing champion.

Their Excellencies thanked Carl mac Branduibh for his service as Baronial Youth Archery Champion, and announced Otto Brandulfrsson as their new youth archery champion. Scroll by Mistress Arianna. Regalia was transferred.
All new champions being named, Their Excellencies called Lord Robert Maintenon before them to recognize his devoted service to the barony, and awarded him a gold comet. Scroll illuminated by Crystal of the Debatable Lands, calligraphed by Kameshima-kyo Zentaro Umakai, and wordsmithed by THL Isabel Fleuritan.
Their Excellencies then sneakily called Lady Rivka bat Daniyel before them to extol the virtues of her illumination skills on scrolls for both barony and kingdom, and was awarded a silver comet. Scroll wording by His Excellency, calligraphy and illumination by Lady Nichola Beese.
Their Excellencies requested all scribes and wordsmiths who contributed to the scrolls that went out today to stand and be recognized.
An announcement for a special change in location and time for our martial practice was made.
There being no further business, the Court of Their Excellencies was thereby closed.

Youth Combat Practice

It is going to be a heat index of over 93° this afternoon. I will be at youth practice this afternoon but please use your best judgement for your little one. If you are coming to youth practice, please bring plenty of cold water and other items to keep them cool.
There will be no Youth combat practice next Sunday as I have an event I will be at and not make it home in time for practice that Sunday.
Thank you

A and S — Cancelled — Sunday, Sep 2

This weekend is the Labor Day holiday weekend, and many of us are celebrating, so there will be no A&S this weekend.

There were so many people interested in fiber arts at the demo at the Children’s Museum, that I will be at Washington Blvd *next* Sunday with an inkle loom and fingerloop braiding, just in case we get visitors. Anyone else doing fiber-y goodness is welcome to join me so we can share our enthusiasm with everyone. I will put out an announcement next week as a reminder.

Meanwhile, have a wonderful Labor Day!
