Greetings heavy fighters,
Fight practice will be held this Sunday, March 27, beginning at 2 PM at the Environmental Charter School, 829 Milton Ave in Regent Square. I asked Robert to run the practice, thinking I could not make it, but it turns out I will be there also this week. Eat your Easter candy and then come out and burn off the calories with us!

Change to Siege of Harlech Event
The head cook for the Siege of Harlech Event on April 16th has been changed, and there is no longer a feast. There is an all-day sideboard by the new cook, so you will not go hungry. For more details, see the new listing on the Baronial events page, or at the Kingdom event page.
Pre-registrations are still being accepted until April 9th! Please take note that there is no longer a feast, so do not include feast fees in your pre-registration.
Budgets Due at next Officers Meeting

Greetings to the folks in these Debatable Lands.
April 6th is the next officers meeting and a part of that meeting will be to discuss and vote on the budget for next year. If there are expenses for the barony that should be paid for by the barony, bring a list of items and estimated cost to the budget meeting.
Also, I would ask that you please that same list to exchequer at debatablelands dot org, ahead of time. If I have that list ahead of time, it will help me to prepare for the meeting, and also speed up the meeting.
As a reminder only members of the financial committee can vote on budget items, but the requests and input can be from anyone.
Heavy fight practice
Greetings heavy fighters! Fight practice will take place tomorrow 03/20/2016 beginning at 2:00 at the usual place, the Environmental Charter School, 829 Milton Ave in Regent Square. See you all there!

Change in Scriptorium
Kameshina-shichi-i writes:
Unfortunately, due to a family emergency, THL Rachel has had to postpone teaching “Attavante Made Easy,” which had been scheduled for this Wednesday’s Scriptorium. We are making plans for alternate dates for her to come and teach this class.
Instead, I invite you all to attend “Gothic Blackletter in 30 Minutes,” which I will be teaching. Both beginner and experienced calligraphers are invited to attend this overview on how to analyze and learn new calligraphic hands, using the Gothic Blackletter hand as an exemplar. We will explore how to visually break down letters into their component strokes, practice those to build your “calligraphy toolbox,” then put them back together to create your own work. Materials (handout, graph paper and felt calligraphy pen) will be provided.
Once again, that is this Wednesday, April 16th, starting at 7pm at our house in Glenshaw. Our address can be found in the Dark Pages, or contact me via private email at cadell (at) gmail (dot) com. We look forward to seeing you at
Scriptorium!

March Barony Meeting: Thing with Cookies!
Join us Sunday, March 13th, at 2pm, the Environmental Charter School (ECS), 829 Milton Avenue, 15218
Come join the Barony for our March Thing (With Cookies!). A Thing is a general assembly of people in a group, where anything can be discussed. Come meet and chat with your new Baroness and new Seneschal, and each other. What’s important to you? Have a great idea you want to share? A project? Something you’ve been meaning to say? Let your voice be heard! Eat cookies, bring projects to show off, fight, and help shape where we all go from here.
General meeting announcements (brief) at 2pm. Meet the new Seneschal (Vivat Meesteres Odriana!) and the new Baroness following. Fight practices as usual after, but the Thing will continue as long as people want to chat.
No garb. Cookie donations encouraged 🙂
[ed.note: Please keep in mind that, for allergy reasons, the school is a nut-free zone.]
