[SCA-BMDL] May Barony Meeting Announcement (with GLORY!)

[Krista Traini]

Greetings from the Seneschale!

 

I'd like to announce that May Barony Meeting has been moved to Sunday, May 30th. It is still at Washington Blvd at 1pm.  "Official" business will be kept to a minimum (less than ten minutes) to allow for socializing and activities (and oh boy, what an activity!). Information about Regular Meetings here in the BMDL can always be found here: http://www.debatablelands.org/meetings.html.  We've added information about the regular rotation of our General Barony Meetings.

 

Speaking of socializing and activities, I'd also like to announce our theme for May Barony Meeting: A&S Wars! Crack teams of marshal specialists will gather upon the field of honor to compete for the GLORY of their sponsors!  Also, BOOTY!

 

The Details: 

 

1. Any Arts & Sciences group of two or more people (the Sponsor) finds four other people to represent them in the four marshal fields: Heavy Fighting, Fencing, Archery, and Thown Weapons.  These four people constitute the A&S team.  The Sponsor does not have to be "official" or a guild, just any group that wants to join the fun.

 

2. The Sponsors will provide the booty.  It doesn't matter what you decide to bring - cookies, candy, commestables, trinkets, tokens, favors, twelve 1:24 exact replicas of the siege engines used at the battle of Crecy made from popsicle sticks - whatever - as long as it can be shared.

 

3. In recognition of the fact that the People of the Debatable Lands are amazingly multi-talented, an individual can compete in up to two of the four marshal events, and there is no limit on who can be part of the A&S Sponsors.  (For example, Lady Sally could both fight and shoot, and can also be part of any or all of the Sponsoring A&S groups, but could not fence or throw.  She could also not fight for two different Sponsors.)

 

4. There will be a winner in each of the four marshal events.  They win GLORY for their A&S Sponsors.  There will also be an Overall winner (found using some sort of point system not yet devised) who will win GREAT GLORY for their A&S Sponsors, and also the right for them and their Sponsors to distribute the booty as they see fit. Yay stuff!

 

5. Each A&S Sponsor should let me know ahead of time when their team is formed. Email or in person.  If a Sponsor is having difficulty finding marshal specialists, or a marshal specialist wants to participate and needs a Sponsor, contact me and I'll match you up!

 

Note: While this should be a fun, amusing activity, you do not have to participate to come to Barony Meeting and share your company during the afternoon. Also, the regular marshal practices will still occur, archery and TW at their normal time, fencing and fighting probably a bit later than their normal time.

 

Thanks!

With Affection, 

~Hilda, Seneschale, BMDL
