Welcome to spring!

Lord Nial opened the meeting with some bad news, we are not going to be able to keep our room on a permanent basis. The reason being that the Shore Center requires us to take out a 24 hour insurance policy on the room which will be quite expensive and SCA Corporate will not fund it. We can still use the room outside of our regular wednesday meetings, but now it will cost $35 per use. Each group that meets here should try to collect as close to $35 as they can, some guilds will consolodate thier meetings to have more people and raise money easier. Please direct your questions to Lord Nial or the other baronial officers.

Events:

This weekend there's the Oaken Arts and Sciences fair in Columbus

Pentamere A&S in Kalamazoo Michigan

Next weekend is the Tournament of Chivalry in Indiana, only a 4 and a half hour drive, honest!

SCA Buisness:

Rutgar and Darius both stepped forward saying they would be willing to be deputy seneschal, as Darius is already Demo co-ordinator, Lord Nial has chosen Rutgar to be his deputy... in the event that both Nial and Rutgar are abducted by aliens, Darius would fill the post as assistant-assistant seneschal.

Standard Bearers is coming up! April 28th! Troll is here and open, give her your money! Anyone who wants to help bake bread for the event or help out in the kitchen the day of, see Master Aiden. If you'd like to take a shot at teaching a class at the event, see me, um, Milesent.

Needleworkers, Madalaine is here, she wants to hear what you want from your guild! Please see her with ideas and sugestions

Chior? See Alish.

Next week is Desert Revel, the cooks' guild has declaired a theme of 'home made' please bring something you made to share, there are period recipe scources available on the table next to the chalkboard, also at desert revel Master Aiden will be teaching a small class on period gingerbread.

Archery is still meeting sundays 1-3 at Lucus Archery, they will be doing a team competion in April, mixed teams of crossbow, recurve and longbow competing with each other. See Edward or Darius if you're interested, and show up to the April practices! There is also an Archery guild meeting April 3rd, possibly at Snowden's house. And remember that Gwyntarian has challenged the might of our archers at the standard bearer's event! Practice so that we can show them what we're made of come April 28th!

Speaking of Gwyntarian... they have a dance night the last friday of the month that has been sparsely attended of late, and not had much dancing going on. (Your dance guild hates to see that sort of thing happening) we have been invited to come down and add new life to thier dance night! See Angharad or Milesent for details/directions.

The cooks guild is meeting Tuesday April 10th at 7pm at Ealdred and Clariel's house, they will be taste testing for the Standard Bearer's feast, mmmm!

Anyone interested in brewing see Nial, he hopes to be brewing regularly on tuesday nights.

Darius has gotten one submission sugestion for baronial t-shirts from Edward Brackenburye, if he doesn't get any others that'll be it,

see Darius if you're interested in scouting

The baronial webpage is changing! We the web ministry are changing the look of the page and re-organizing it to hopefully be easier to browse, ooo. And one thing we will be adding is a searchable directory of the populace. Unless I hear differently from any of you, all that will be printed in the on line directory is;

your SCA name (If you have none, your mundane first name followed by 'of the Cleftlands')
Any awards you hold, AOA, KSCA, OP, etc.
Baronial offices you hold,
and (hopefully) your registered device. (I like pictures, they're pretty!)

Any additional information you want to provide I'll put in, except your mother's maiden name or credit card numbers ;) Questions, comments, concerns? Let me, Lyonnete or Brian know :)

At the Feast of Saint Patrick this past weekend there was a three-on-three melee tournament of which Lyonnete, Robert and Alda were a team. In one notable bout Lyonnete and Robert were killed moments into the fight, leaving Lady Aldamouris alone against three oponnents! And the lady triumphed! As she said, not by being the best fighter, but being the smartest, moving quickly to the opposite side of the field and forcing each of her three opponents to come to her and thus letting her defeat them one at a time. It was inspiring to see even for a non-combatant like myself. hoobah Alda!

Demos:

June 18-22 from 12 noon to 4pm the boyscouts would like a demo

University schools are looking for a daytime demo,

April 9 and 10 (thats a monday and tuesday) we have a demo for Chardin Schools

Central Catholic is still looking for something too (Wulfgar is a teacher there)

Non-SCA:

Monty is leaving next week, he's gotten a job on board a ship and will be gone for five weeks... don't worry though, he shall return! (There is a possability he will get a longer assignment on a prestigeous reasearch vessel)

It's Christina's birthday! Make sure to wish the trollop well as you give her money for Standard Bearers

From His Grace:

Nothing tonight. (I assume he's saving up)

And that is all for this week.

In service,
Milesent
