A&S Night is this Thursday, December 26th!

Looking for something chill to do during your holiday time off? Need out of the house after all the festivities wrap up? We are still having A&S Night this Thursday, December 26th from 6:30-9:30pm! The cold and dark winter days are a perfect time to pick up a new craft, polish your documentation for A&S Champs, or finish up largesse for the derby at Debatable Lands Twelfth Night! Let me know if you need the address or any other details.

Martial practices on for Sunday 12/8

As a reminder, we will be holding both armored and rapier practice this Sunday, 12/8, from 11 am to 2 pm, at Ace Axe Throwing. A thrown weapons marshal is available should throwers wish to play as well.

We will have visitors for practice this week! Her Excellency of Brendoaken plans to attend and bring folks along to both fight and fence. She is seeking members of the Chivalry to help her finish her 100 knight challenge. This should be a lot of fun. I hope to see many of you there.

Call for Letters: Arts and Sciences Minister

The time has come! My second consecutive term as Baronial Minister of Arts and Sciences is coming to an end at the February Business Meeting, so it is time for me to issue this Call for Letters and begin seeking my successor. Please consider submitting a Letter of Intent to stand for election to this office.

The job of the Minister of Arts and Sciences is to support and promote historical arts, crafts, and research within the Barony. The only true requirements of the position are that you pay attention to what is going on, make quarterly reports to the Kingdom Minister, and make reports to the other officers of the Barony at the bi-monthly Business Meetings. This position is a member of the financial committee, so it is important that you understand Baronial, Kingdom, and Society policies.

Any effort you can put into encouraging, participating in, and helping others participate in the A&S activities of the Barony is a great service, so there is plenty of room for new ideas.

Send your letters to me at “ansminister (at) debatablelands.org”, to the Seneschal at “seneschal (at) debatablelands.org”, and to the Baronage at “baronage (at) debatablelands.org”. Please submit your letter of intent by the 31st of January, 2025 so that it can be presented to the officers ahead of the Business meeting.

You should also plan to attend the Business Meeting on February 5th (online is fine if you can’t make it in person) so that you can speak for yourself to the officers about your involvement in the A&S activities of these Debatable Lands, and your plans should you be chosen as the next Minister.

Business Meeting Tonight

Salve Acolens!

Officers and any barony members who choose to join us, tonight is the bimonthly business meeting. For the first time since the pandemic, we will be moving to in-person meetings again, but we will retain the virtual option for those who need it. We welcome anyone who would like to see how things work, or consider getting more involved in the running of the barony.

8:00 tonight, at Ace Axe Throwing, 145 E 8th Avenue Homestead, PA 15120. Park in the Aldi lot at 127 E 7th Ave just around the corner. We’ll be in the small group room at the back of the first floor. For those who are interested, the bar will be open. Ace is giving us the space for free, so let’s thank them with some business. Unfortunately, the Puerto Rican restaurant is not open on Wednesdays.

So far there is no new business. If you have something please let me know as soon as possible. We’ll be reviewing Agincourt and checking in on progress for 12th Night and Iris Festival, as well as starting conversation about spring and summer barony meetings.
