Invitation to the May Barony Meeting – May 17 via ZOOM!

Greetings unto the Noble Populace of the Barony Marche of the DebatableLands from Muirgheal inghean Dubhghaill,

In these times that test our fortitude, I invite you to join myself and the Officers for our May Barony Meeting via Zoom from 1 to 4 pm on May 17th, 2020. As we move into the Yellow Phase of the Siege against our peoples, there is much to discuss and… a little company to help ease our loss over the many events we would celebrate at this time.

The Marshals and I would like to begin discussions on a return to our regular practices while following CDC and DOH requirements and what it might look like as the restrictions ease and we return to life as we knew it. If you are not able to attend the Zoom meeting, but have questions, concerns, commentary please send it to me or to any of the officers or marshals so that we can make certain to address your concerns and get the notes on the meeting out to you.

Additionally, We are still planning for Agincourt in October! Our hope is that we will be able to run a wonderful event and enjoy fellowship as the autumn comes.

Brehyres Gwendolyn has offered to host a watch party for us after the meeting! So if you are looking for something social to do, please see her missive below and take the survey!

I’m looking forward to entering the Summer and Fall with hope and a return to fellowship in person with all of you.

Yours in service,

Muirgheal

The words of Gwendolyn the Graceful, Brehyres, OL:
Greetings, lovely Barony!

On Sunday, May 17, following the Barony Social Meeting, I will be hosting a movie watch party. I hope many of you will stick around and join us!

What movie are we watching? Well, I’m glad you asked! You can help decide. I’ve selected six titles, some of which are episodes of TV series running 60-75 minutes, and some of which are feature films of 90-120 minutes. I’ve created a survey to help decide the most popular choice.

If you’re interested, you can take the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/8GRWP9T

This survey also has an opportunity to suggest films for future parties, as well as gauge interest in a regular film club of some kind. So even if you’re not available for this watch party, but might be interested in others, please fill out the survey!

Ever in Service,

Gwendolyn the Graceful, Brehyres, OL

Call for Letters – Chatelaine

Greetings fine Barony!

After four years serving this wonderful Barony, it is time for me to step down as your Chatelaine. I am officially calling for letters and requesting that letters be sent to me (chatelaine at debatablelands.org) and the Seneschal (seneschal at debatablelands.org) by June 1, 2020.

The job of Chatelaine is rewarding and fun. Duties include (but are not limited to) welcoming newcomers, connecting them with others doing things of interest to the newcomer and coordinating demos. Should you have questions about the duties associated with this position, please email me at chatelaine at debatablelands.org.

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the Barony. I am thankful and grateful that I was blessed with the support of my deputy, Lord Ronan O’Conell.

Again, the deadline for letters is June 1, 2020 and voting will be at the June 3rd business meeting.

Thank you all for your time and for allowing me to be your Chatelaine for the last four years.

Lady Elizabeth “Libby” Parker

On the Pennsic Postponement

Salve Accolens Debatable Lands,

By now, you may have heard the announcement that Pennsic 49 has been postponed to 2021 for the safety of the populace. You can read the words of King Maynard and Queen Liadain on this here. As Their Majesties say, we applaud this difficult decision and the people that agonized over it, including the Pennsic Mayor and staff, and the Primary Kingdom Seneschals, and particularly our own hardworking Kingdom Seneschal, Master Illadore de Bedegrayne.

Our dear friends… we, like you, have heavy hearts today. Like many of you, we feel Pennsic is more than just a convention for a cool hobby…. it’s home. It’s a place to create space outside the mundanities of modern life. A place where strangers and friends alike greet each other with genuine affection. A place where, when you need ANY kind of help, strong hands and smiling faces greet you at every turn. Pennsic is a distillation, in two weeks, in the fields and hills of Western Aethelmearc, of a great part of the love and happiness in our lives. Our hearts ache today. Truly ache.

And yet, we remember today, too, that that happiness and love and joy does not stem from a field in Pennsylvania. It doesn’t come from tents or even camps and fires. It comes from YOU. The peace and well-being of Pennsic is, at its heart, you. Chosen family and friends, joining together in joy and love common interests to stimulate the heart and mind. We are still here!

Dearest Barony, your safety is more important than anything. We can still join in joy and laughter through these strange and difficult times. It’s just going to look a little different for a little while.

We will eventually gather in smaller groups when it is safe to do so. Until then, let us gather aethereally this Sunday, in the Kingdom Zoom Rooms, from 2pm to 4pm. Link to follow. See you there.

With all our love and affection,
In Levitate et Caritate, and Cheers,
Baron Brandubh and Baroness Hilda
