The Ayreton Yahoo! Group is used to post news, make announcements, and for
discussion of interest to all groups in the Chicago area.  We encourage all
people of Ayreton to subscribe and receive email or digests, so although it is
not prohibited, please try to keep chatting to the local group mailing lists.

To prevent spam, we unfortunately require new members' first post be approved by
the moderators before being able to post to the mailing list.  (This is better
than requiring moderators to approve every member or every post individually.)

The message archive and calendar are available to the public, not just to our
members, so please be aware of this when posting messages and calendar events. 
Also, members can elect to hide their email address from being displayed
anywhere within the group.  This is done so people who wish to maintain their
privacy can still get/view the announcements for the area.  Members who choose
this option cannot post by sending email, and must log in to the Yahoo! Groups
page to post.

These policies are open to discussion, and any grievances should be brought up
to the group owners by sending email to ayreton-owner@yahoogroups.com

Discourse on this list is requested to be kept to Ayreton-wide issues such as
discussion on the Barony process, Ayreton Carnival and any other such area wide
issues.  Discourse shall be kept civil as it is entirely possible to disagree
with out being diagreeable.  Personal attacks of any kind and general rudeness
are in direct violation of this policy.  The decision if a violation has
occurred is entirely at the discretion of the moderators.  Violators will be
given three warnings and then banned from posting to the Ayreton Yahoo! Group. 
Moderators will try to give polite reminders first before giving any official
warnings, however, this is at their discretion.  Banning from posting will last
for three months and then the individual banned must draft an apology letter for
their behavior that led to them being banned.  They will then be put on
moderated posting status until the moderators feel they will comply with the
posting rules of this Yahoo! Group.  We encourage everyone to partipate in
Ayreton-wide discussions and express freely their opinions without worry of
reprisal from the moderators.  We simply ask that you do so in a chivalrous and
courteous manner and without attacking anyone.

Well last night the Ayreton Archers had a fantastic night shooting. We
also ran a winter challenge in order to prepare outselves for Better
War Through Archery this weekend.

So far this year, we currently have 12 people from Ayreton who have
shot the challenge. This includes 3 new people who did not shoot the
challenge last year.

Last year we had 19 people shoot the Challenge, and the average score
for Ayreton was 72. This was out of 284 archers who took part ( 50
from the Middle Kingdom)  with an average score of 83.732 (including
crossbows)

This challenge we currently have 12 people, and the average score for
Ayreton is 82! This is out of 109* archers who took part (38 from the
Middle Kingdom- 8 from Sternfield)  with an average score of 81.614*
(including crossbow)

However, there are 11 people who shot last year, who have not shot
yet. If you have not shot the Winter Challenge yet, please do so! Come

Greetings,

I would recommend to him and anyone facing homelessness to go and get connected
with the PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) program nearest them. The NW
burbs PADS is run by Journeys. They work with those at risk of homelessness and
the homeless. There are social workers and medical care is available.

Emergency shelter is available every night of the week at different sites from
Oct until April. Guests receive a hot dinner, breakfast, and a bag lunch. The
hope center is open during the day and provides meals as well.

You do have to register at the Hope Center first to become eligible. I know this
isn't a permanent solution, but I know they can help.

Unto the fighters of the barony, I give greetings.

Yes, there WILL be practice on Superbowl Sunday.  I can't promise that
we will have a laptop with the game on it as we have in past years,
but I can promise fun and fights.

Are there any fencers who would be willing to show up on Sunday?
There have been students off and on who have been interesting in
fencing, and all I can tell them is that sometimes fencers do come.  I
don't know if any students will be there this week, but it would be
useful to know when, if ever, the fencers will be coming out to play.

in service,

Are there plans for other methods of fund-raising as well? I honestly don't even
have a spare dollar right now (don't ask, but there are two family-mandated
plane trips this year when normally we travel about once every other year at
most), but I did think of one thing I could do.

I remember when two families' homes were fire damaged in the recent past, and
people came together to auction off goods and services as a benefit for them. It
won't help us get the funds up within the 10 days, but if anyone is up to
planning that kind of event, it could potentially help us restock our coffers
going forward. Towards that end, I have a few pottery items that I haven't sold,
from just before my elbows tendered their resignation from ceramic work. If such
an auction is done, I'd like to donate them to the cause. Just one thought, and
I'm sure that there are many other ideas floating around, but I thought I'd put
this in there.

To the Barony at Large,

The Ayreton Angels have decided we would like to donate half of our funds to the cause, but as this money was given to us for specific use by the Cantons, we ask your permission to do so.  If there are any objections please let us know within the next two days.

YIS,

Baroness Jane the Tall and Lady Anne d'Aix
