Baronial Winter Missive To all the Good and Noble People of our Barony of Andelcrag do We, Antonia and Collette send greetings. The Yuletide season has come and gone, and we look forward to the Winter and its cozy offerings. In Our Barony, We have a few winter events that We encourage all of Our baronial members to attend: Three Walls- Winter Revel, January 16-17, 2016 Rimsholt- 12th Fight, January 23rd, 2016 Three Hills- St. Valentine s Day Massacre, February 13th, 2016 Please let Us know if any other events that need to be added to the calendar. Winters in Our Baronial lands are harsh. The Great Lake we take care of on behalf of the Crown loves to stir up the snow. Please be cautious when traveling to events and practices- We want all of Our populace to be safe and sound! Winter is a wonderful time to be working on increasing our knowledge through the Arts and Sciences. Pentamere Regional A&S Faire will be announced soon. If anyone has any questions regarding entrance, please contact Us or Our Baronial Arts and Sciences Champion, Sgt. Gilebert le Braceueeur. We would be happy to guide newcomers to the process of entering the Faire or to offer guidance to veteran entrants. Let s show the Midrealm the beautiful artworks and research that the members of the Barony of Andelcrag is graced with! The Andelcrag Althing will be held on April 23rd. We will be holding Baronial Championships that day, and more details will follow in the coming months! In regards to the SCA 50 Year Celebration, there have been talks about the possibility of having a Baronial Encampment for our populace to camp together at the event. It is being discussed between the Baronesses and the populace and a decision will be made and posted to the Baronial Webpage no later than the end of February. As a reminder, We would like to encourage the members of the populace to attend their monthly business meetings. All members are welcome to share their input at these meetings and the meetings offer insight into the workings of our non-profit organization. We are also in need of your suggestions for those whom you feel deserve awards, whether they be Baronial or Kingdom. If you know someone whom you feel deserves an award please email Us at: baronyofandelcrag@gmail.com. Please include the person s SCA name, modern name, group, the award(s) you think the person is deserving of and why you think they should have it. We look to our populace to help us in finding people who are worthy of accolades. In Service to the Barony of Andelcrag- Baroness Antonia and Baroness Collette
