Darius wished to thank everyone again for Coronation, it was thanks to everyone that it was such a sucess.

There have been changes to the rules for scouting armour, see Darius if you're a scout or interested in scouting or stealth scouting.

Now that we've had a moment to recover from Coronation... there's this event coming up in January... Sir Ephraim is autocratting the January event this year, it is not too early to volunteer, the deadline for the Pale is November 1st so we want to have the staff settled as soon as possible. It's intended to be a 'teaching' event, feel free to volunteer to help out with an activity you've never had a chance to do before, you'll be paired up with good mentors. See Sir Ephraim to volunteer or with questions.

Definately see Timothy about armourer's guild if you plan on attending.

NON-SCA Buisness:

Ser Nicholas's young man at arms Elyis 13 today, hoobah

There are flyers on the table for the final performance of troup Daylim lahib (Is that even remotely spelled right?) Saturday October 13th, they are donating the proceeds from thier performance to disaster relief and have a sponsor who will match thier donation dollar for dollar. see Lady Celeste for details.

CWRU Medieval Society is having a demo/mini event this saturday from 1pm to 4pm outside the Kelvin Smith Library (I know, it conflicts with Ohio Mart but... ) they will be having games, play with thier trebuchet and reportedly have niffty prizes. See Lyonnete, Milesent or Donasian for details.

Lyonnete has given little sachets to every combatant who entered the A&S competition at Coronation, there are little shield shaped sachets and little frilly lacy sachets... and she has extras. If you want one, take! :)

From His Grace:

There has been talk of giving to disaster relief, and over the past few weeks its become apparent that there is no limit to what is needed on the East coast. Food, clothing, emotional support... How many here knew someone who was in New York at the time? How many lost someone? Now, how many knew someone who lost someone? There you see... the degree of separation from us to this tragedy is very slight. one or two degrees of separation.

We are generally well off, generally comfortable and very much alive, it is up to us to lend a hand, give a small donation and do what we can... however don't forget the other 6 billion people. We're here wearing costumes having a good time, it's important to remember the rest of the world and those disasters that are farther away from us. I don't often use the SCA as a personal pulpit, but this is an issue important to me. Months from now, give up a couple pizzas and remember someone else with a donation.

And that is all for this week...

In service,
Milesent
