Archery guild will be having their buissness meeting and voting for new officers next tuesday the 18th at Darius's home.

Winter Challenge archery scores were very light, only one Cleftlander had reported in as of the last issue of the Pale! grr! (way to go Jared!) Get your scores in! Archery is still meeting at Lucus Archery every sunday for practice, marshals especially make sure you come out so we can get scores reported. See Ian Rassmussen for details.

Brewers - Nial has plans to do a quick mead, some beers and such if you're interested see him, he's fairly flexible about scheduling times to brew. Or see Klaus! Want more cordials? see the brewers

There will be a brief officers meeting after meeting, we are now closed for bids for Northern Oaken War Maneuvers, there was only one bid submitted chances are good we're going with it ;)

Note: there was a scribal class tonight. Milesent taught about drawing the human figure. We will be continuing with scribal classes the rest of this month, all taught in the back corner of the room. Next week is knotwork taught by myfanwy, followed by whitework taught by Elena the next week and a possible gilding class following that. See Edward Brackenburye or Guenhwyfar for details.

There is a newbie fighter night at Lyonnete's home tuesday nights, come out and help her get more practice! (formerly chicks with sticks, we've decided to be more egalitarian)

Thursday nights there is a west side fighter practice near Great Northern mall

DEMOS:

March 8th the CWRU Medieval Society is having a live action game of Fox and Geese. No experience with the medieval board game is necessary however filling out the game board would be appreciated. It is an outdoor demo so dress warmly! If there are fighters there will be fighting. Saturday afternoon demo, outside the Kelvin Smith Library at the heart of campus (There will be a lot of foot traffic walking by!) see Lyonnete, Milesent or your favorite CWRU student for details.

Saturday March 29th there is an afternoon demo for a Brownie troupe at the River Grove. They'd like to have a fashion show, see some of the crafts we do and some lady fighters would be most welcome to inspire the future lady fighters. The demo is just 1pm to 3pm, see Marsaili for details.

There is another demo coming up for Fairview Elementary, more details when that is formalized.

And it's not too early to be thinking about Baycrafters! Darius is resigning as Demo Coordinator soon after Baycrafters, it's a great demo to get your feet wet as the new Demo Coordinator, see Darius if you're interested.

Non SCA:

The gallery cafe on 185th street hosts a middle eastern dance share every monday night and drumming circle every thursday. Darius has flyers and they will be on the table.

From the Baron and Baroness:

Ephraim and Madelaine are still collecting opinions about regalia. This is not a poll, nor a vote. They're not looking for volunteers to make or, god forbid, buy regalia; just wish to know the opinions of the populace so that they can make a more informed decision about this aspect of their job as Baron and Baroness. For those who have already approached them, thank you. For those who have not, if you have an opinion about regalia please see Ephraim and Madelaine either in person at meeting, via the phone or email.

Reported as faithfully as I am able,
In service,
Milesent
