Sad Tidings – Lady Rowan ni Naradhaigh

Friends and Neighbors,

We are heartbroken to tell you that Lady Rowan ni Naradhaigh (Dawn Swidal) passed away suddenly early this morning, of pneumonia.

Lady Rowan was a valued member of our Barony for two decades. Though a little less active in recent years, you may remember her as the site liaison (along with her husband Lord Ffynthcor) for one of our favorite event sites, the Unitarian Universalist Church of the North Hills. The site was last used for our Baronial Investiture, where Lady Rowan was recognized for her service to the Barony and the Pennsic Barony camp with a Keystone.

We will best remember her as an active and valued member of the Baronial encampment at Pennsic, where she and her family camped every year in recent years. We will remember her sweet smile and her gentle-yet-strong demeanor, her cooking and her friendly laughter, her eye for aesthetic decor, and her willingness to help out the camp, any campmate and neighbor. She was a joy to camp with and talk to. Our friend Rowan will be sorely missed.

Please join us in offering condolences, strength, and peace to Rowan’s husband, Ffynthcor, their family, and their friends and loved ones in the coming days. Should final arrangement details be made available, we will share them.

In Caritate,
Baron Brandubh and Baroness Hilda

Agincourt 10/23/2021 – Possible Covid-19 Exposure Risk

Attention good gentles,

The Covid-19 plague has been reported in one noble present at the Agincourt Event on 10/23/2021. Please take appropriate precautions. Monitor for symptoms for the 14 days following the exposure, or until 11/06/2021. Since this exposure was entirely outdoors, the risk is low and per SCA guidelines you may still participate in activities with appropriate vaccination or testing, as long as you remain entirely without symptoms. Per CDC guidelines, mask usage indoors in public is also recommended for 14 days. If you do develop symptoms, regardless of vaccination status, isolate and call your physician for next steps.

May you all stay hale and hearty, and may we see you again soon,

Baroness Muirgheal inghean Dubhghaill, Seneschal Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands
