The Archery ran smoothly, and in the challenge shoot with Gwyntarian and Darkyard, Cleftlands won! er, on points, but that's all that matters, right? Okay, they got better scores than we did, but we had more archers so that's what counts ;)

(and there was a general jabbering of certain incriminating photos that should find their way on line... including one of his Grace and a tank... http://cleftlands.cwru.edu/cleftlands/pix/sb01-8.html I believe, His Grace replied, hey, it's 16 gauge steel, there's nothing in the marshal's handbook against it! to the amusement of the crowd)

Our minister of Arts and Sciences wants a flyer from the event... and the troll from the event quickly piped in that she had one, and, as always, if you have been working on anything even vauguely arts and sciences... Karl wants to know about it! please see him.

Archery is still meeting sundays at Lucus archery, they're shooting clout and war point shoots, dust off your bow and come out and play! So you'll do good if you shoot for war! There will be an archery guild meeting later this month, details as that draws closer.

If you're interested in heavy weapons, you might like the East Suburb's Rugby Club, it's fun, no experience necessary. They're meeting at the Cuyahoga County Airport this saturday (about 15 mins from meeting site)

CWRU Medieval Society finished thier trebuchet and unveiled it at the university's Spring Fest saturday (This is why most of them didn't make it to standard bearer's) They had over 100 people line up to throw a water balloon with the trebuchet. The semester's ending, but they hope to continue having informal meetings during the summer.

Shlomo would like to organize formal photo shoots of folks in garb, maybe at a meeting sometime in July when everyone's finishing up thier new Pennsic garb? See him if you're interested.

There is a mundane English Country group which meets the first friday of ever month throughout the season in Lakewood, see Aiden, Angharad, Angie... er, most of the dancers, for details.

Alish has birds! They will make fine christmas dinners, every one of 'em. 15 chicks, 3 geese. See her if you're interested.

Aurore points out an article in the Cleveland Plain dealer by a professor who teaches a course on Medieval cooking at CWRU who credits the SCA for one of the recipies he gives in the article. yay us!

Colin the Lecher has old water heater tanks that he can modify for pennsic use! see him if you're interested.

Also, Colin is forming a new Household, they don't even have a name yet, but they're going to be celts, and bent on having a good time, darn it!

And there's a rumor that there's a lady who may make the Lecher an honest man!

From His Grace:

The Standard Bearer's event had the largest attendance for such a small baronial event that we've enjoyed in a log time. He extended his personal thanks to those who competed in the tournaments, there was an impressive number of combatants for each title. Congratulations to Lothar de Normandy for being Our Standard Bearer once more (the standard bearer's tournement came down to one decisive combat, it was a very close race between Lothar and Edward Brackenburye), Ian as our new Champion d'arc, far outshooting his competators, (Paul came in second and Valorian third) Edward Fitzranulf as Champion d'epe (noting that the fighting for that title was particularly hard this year, there were three contenders for first place and four for second going into the final round, Ealdred of Gwyntarian came in third, Sir William Ransom came in second) Finally, Stephan von Lubeck was a logical choice for Champion d'arms, having competed well for all three titles. And a reminder, there are only seven weeks until war! It's time to get those projects you wanted to have done for Pennsic 25 started!

And that is all for this week.
In service,

Milesent
