I was wondering if the XL celebration is also, as noted on the Midrealm
Calendar, Coronation? I was wondering, because this isn't reflected on
the event website, and I was curious as to the activities around that.
Thanks!

Greetings,

I will hold a fighter practice this Thursday night, July 16th, at my home.
Primary aim will be to go over techniques so bring whatever weapon style or
questions you have.  No armor required.
This will be weather permitting.

Hello Everyone!

As those of you who attended the recent Baronial meetings know, we - Jane the
Tall (Jennie Tyderek) and Anne d'Aix (Lynda Fitzgerald) - are organizing support
for the Ayreton fighters attending Pennsic.

We have gathered a lot of the supplies we will need and we have offers of help
from some non-fighters who will be at War.  We have talked to fighters to find
out what kind of support they need and Susanna the Short has provided us with
badges so we will be easy to find on and off the field.

Now we need your help.  Please let us know if you are willing to help either on
the battlefield or in preparation.  You should know that we have positions
available for everyone, regardless of your physical ability or knowledge of
fighting.

For those of you with more money than time, while we have personally provided a
lot of what we will need in the way supplies, we still have a lot we need to do
this properly.  We need things like duct tape (grey and colored), gatorade
powder (not red), gallon sized "ziploc" bags, markers, pretzels, pickles, and
olives.  But most of all what we need is volunteers and money.

If you think you might have an hour or two at Pennsic you could devote to
supporting the Barony's fighters, please contact one of us.  If you can't be
sure of your availability until you get to War, just let us know where you're
camping and we'll stop by to check in with you.

We would like this to be the beginning of an effort that will grow with the
Barony and continue for many Wars to come.

Yours in Service

Hello!

I have a new tent I will be using at Pennsic, and I have a yurt that is being
stored in a storage unit in PA that needs a loving home or just someone to rent
it for Pennsic. Please e-mail me if you are interested in renting or buying.

Greeting All!

As a refresher, one of our requirements for advancement to Barony is that we
state our expectations for the Landed Nobility of Ayreton.

What have other groups done?

Mostly they have about a half page document – five to ten points – that lists
what they would like the Baron and/or Baroness to do. They are what you would
probably expect – things like "Support the Barony, Attend Baronial Meetings,
Encourage Growth, Attend Baronial Events" and the such.

As I mentioned in my last email about this part of the Baronial advancement, we
would take any opportunity we could to start talking about these expectations. 
Specifically, in-between the Charter Meeting and the Business Meeting.

Our Charter meeting for July ended early so we took some time to start
brainstorming.  Below are the results of what the assembled people came up with
for an initial draft.

We will meet again at the before the September Business Meeting at 5 pm.  Please
attend if you are interested in the topic. You may also forward me any comments
you would to be shared during the meeting.  Comments should be sent by the
Friday before the meeting.

Please read and consider! We need everyone to be involved to please share your
thoughts!

See you soon,
~philip


*INITIAL DRAFT* Expectations of the Landed Nobility of Ayreton *INITIAL DRAFT*

These are the expectations of the Baron and/or Baroness above and beyond as set
by the governing documents of the SCA and the Middle Kingdom and as set by the
Crown of the Middle Kingdom:

• Hold Baronial Court
• Attend event sponsored by Ayreton and by the Cantons of Ayreton
• Attend events outside of the Ayreton area including local, Kingdom, and Known
World events where they will act as representative of the Barony
• Have a Baronial Presence at any event that they attend
• Inspire the Baronial troops
• Inspire endeavors in the arts and sciences
• Inspire ongoing service
• Inspire courtesy and chivalry through their own conduct
• Encourage growth
• Encourage ceremony

We can also add that this list is not a limit to the expectations of the landed
nobility.

Greetings All!

I have had a few questions about what a Baronial Polling looks like.

I thought this might help - two Baronies are going through the poll process now:

http://www.midrealm.org/seneschal/WhiteWatersNMPoll.pdf

http://www.midrealm.org/seneschal/RoaringWastesNMPoll.pdf

You can look at these to get an example of what we would be looking at maybe
sometime next year.

Yesterday at Simple Day, several of us Ayretonians travelled down and
had a great day.  Some congratulations are in order, even:

The Thieves of Hearts were, as usual, the heart and soul of the rapier
field, defending their honor against all comers, and hosting what
promised to be a killer party on Friday night.

The Pippins did a nice set (if I do say myself) of our usual period
songs just prior to the start of court.

Several Ayreton members were named to the Rapier Champions' team, but
since that list has not been published (merely announced at the
event), I can't say as I recall who all of them were.

Two Ayreton fighters were named as Unbelted Champions of the
Midrealm!  Sabah al Rashid and Henry of Exeter will take the field
with 43 of their brothers-in-arms on Sunday at Pennsic, immediately
after opening ceremonies, to combat 45 of the Eastrealm's finest.  On
the following Friday, those 45 heroes (our two among them) will be
joined by 15 more alternates (including myself), to fight alongside 60
Eastern unbelts, against 120 champions assembled from the rest of the
Known World.


I trust the rest of you had as great a time as Tacit and I did!

Greetings all,

The link I am posting is to an article by Duchess Katerina O'Callaghan on being
a Territorial Baron and Baroness.  While the article is written for the Kingdom
of Atenveldt the majority of the information is relevant what would and could be
expected of a landed B&B for Ayreton.  There are also two interesting
role-playing exercise for people who may be thinking of running for the B&B
positions at the end of the artical.
