testing negative from his bout with CoVID, and can attend 12th Night without
restriction, according to CDC regulations! Hooray! His illness does serve as a
good reminder to please stay home if you have symptoms, to home test before you
come if at all possible, and to maintain the required people-density
requirements in the no-mask zone at the event. Let's keep each other safe!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">We are incredibly excited to finally be able to host, along
with our current Champions THL Rachel and Master William, the Baronial A&S
Championship, and the Baronial Bardic Championship! Because attendance at the
event is limited, you may enter these Championships without being physically
present. Note that only Debatable Landers or those with Green/Amicus comets (by
our whim) are eligible to be Baronial Champions. But also remember that much of
Gryffyn's Keep's old territory between Pittsburgh or Greensburg is now
Debatable Lands! Welcome neighbors!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">For A&S, you can send in your entry with someone, drop
off and pick up with permission from the event staff, or send an electronic
entry to <a href="mailto:baron@debatablelands.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">baron@debatablelands.org</a> by Friday morning (make sure you get a
confirmation email from him, or we didn't get it). The theme is "plague
projects" (stuff you've worked on since 2020), but feel free to enter what
you like. Documentation is nice, but not required. For entries in person,
please make sure to enter by 1:30pm at the latest! Contact us directly if that
timing won't work for you. Also, if you'd like to display your A&S pieces
without entering, please do! Let's show off! Just note "Display Only"
on the paperwork, and we will not consider it part of the competition</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">For bardic not in person, well, that's trickier. Please
email us at <a href="mailto:baron@debatablelands.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">baron@debatablelands.org</a> ASAP and at least by Tuesday to make
arrangements (apologies for the short turnaround). For those entering who are
physically in attendance, GREAT news! Our Seneschal, Muirgheal, has arranged
permission for performers to perform maskless for this competition (with filter
fans and social distancing)!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">We know the attendance cap has caused some disappointment,
and with us, too. HOWEVER, the Courts will the streamed to the Kingdom Facebook
page (accessible to those without Facebook), thanks to Lord Niall. I (Baroness
Hilda) will additionally be streaming some slice-of-event snippets throughout
the day (as I am able) to the Facebook event (contact me if you want me to be
careful to avoid you, or tell me at the event). Both links below. And don't
forget to add yourself to the waitlist if you're interested in attending! Link
at event announcement (link below).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">So, while there will be a large room that's maskless, much
of the event is in masked areas. We've been talking to folks about how the lack
of seeing people's mouths makes it more difficult to communicate, from people
like Baroness Hilda (who has minor a auditory processing issue), to folks that
need to read lips to communicate. With this in mind, we are providing some
masks with clear plastic by the lips. For those interested in wearing these as
an inclusive adjustment, we'll about about 50 at troll. Help yourselves, first
come, first served. Baroness Hilda will have a couple extra on her if those run
out and you find yourself in need of one.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The event steward, Lady Forveleth, has kindly set aside the
kitchen downstairs for a Baronial Royalty Room, since we don't have event food
this year. Because it's so big, and it's not a public space, we the Baron and
Baroness, would like to invite folks that have sensory issues that need a
break, or parents with babes-in-arms/children who need feeding or a break, to
join us in our room (kitchen) while you need some quiet time. You may use it
without us present. Please do respect the quiet, and understand that we may
need to ask you to leave for Court prep or if we otherwise need privacy.</p>
