[SCA-BMDL] Study Group Meeting Sunday January 13th

[Ruth Morrisson]

Greetings frrom Myfanwy!
Sadly I won’t be able to make that.  I think we have plans.  Plus, the last several weeks have been pretty stressful, and this week doesn’t look much better in the lead up to Barony Twelfth Night and I don’t think I’m going to be able to deal with a three hour trip to Cleveland and back on top of everthing else.  :-(
Have fun, all.
