This is a periodic message sent to let Ayreton members know about the Yahoo!
Group features and as a reminder to keep its information up to date.

If you are a leader of a local activity group, please take a moment to verify
that your meetings are on the calendar and that the information is correct. 
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ayreton/cal)

Most of the Ayreton Yahoo! Group features, such as the Photos, Links, and Files
section, are open to modification by all members.  Feel free to use these to
distribute and share information and your pictures.

Yours in Service,
the Ayreton Yahoo! Group Moderators

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.


Yours In Service,
The Ayreton Yahoo! Group Moderators

Unto all I give greetings.

Come on out for the last heavy weapons practice of 2012. We have the cloister
club on the first floor inside Ida Noyes hall.

If any fencers are going to come, can you please let me know?  We have a fencer
that will come if she has someone to work with.

Greetings One and All,

I am the class coordinator for the Canton of Tree-Girt-Sea's "Twelfth Night in the Black Forest-A Hohenstaufen Wonderland" event to be held on January 12.

I am looking for more teachers to fill the schedule in 4 school classrooms.

The best types of classes are:

1.    Any kind!

2.    Topics related to Germany--to accompany the theme of the event.

3.    Scribal classes--Back by popular demand will be the All Day TGS Scribal Sandbox

4.    Music or Bardic Classes--We have access to a beautiful music classroom with great acoustics.

Please contact me off list, and only at this email address: vrayhill@...  if you are interested in volunteering to teach a class.

 I am so looking forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Dame Jocelyn of Lutterworth

A co-worker of mine in the Lake Geneva area has a flatbed snowmobile
trailer for sale, excellent condition, $2500. Easily big enough for
pole arms and pavilion poles...

time fashion? Well then if that's the case, please email me (at
"stoutmaker@...") with your SCA name, mundane name, e-mail address and
street address so that we can add you to the roster of the Ayreton archery
community for this years Domesday reporting and help show the rest of the middle
Kingdom just how healthy our archery community is.

Know a friend that you know shoots archery, please tell them to PM me with this
information.

I would like to have this information by next Monday , so please send this by

Thanks.

Hi! This is Ardena Wildflower your Chatelaine for the Barony of Ayreton. I would
like to announce here: the Canton of Tree-Girt-Sea is sponsoring an event in
January, known as " Twelfth Night in the Black Forest". Please follow the link
below for more information and plan to attend the event! Yours in service to the

With 12th Night planned as our next court, we would be happy to entertain
suggestions for award
recipients.  We still need to be cautious in posting award names, as they are
still in flux due to the college of heralds procedures. However, we can specify
what is already a standard for our ‘pretty promissory notes’ aka awards given so
far, with names subject to change: 

 

Orders (may be given out only once)

- Riain’s Star (Youth award—name has passed)

- Fighter award (all styles:heavy, light…)

- Arts

- Service

 

Awards (may be awarded multiple times)

-Service: one award- multiple types (current plan is up to 7), designated by
color. Current color
designations include Orange for troop support. Blue for general
help/toting/lifting hauling, etc.


We're also happy to consider other award ideas. 
Please let us know your recommendations off-list.

I am teaching inkle loom weaving at Twelfth Night (1/12/13) and I only have
access to 2 or 3 looms. If you have one and you are making it to Twelfth Night
and could let me use it for the day (it would be returned to you after 2 PM that
day.) I would appreciate it. Please plan to drop it off early if you can. I am
not sure when I am teaching I THINK it is 1 PM. Please mark your loom clearly so
we can identify it as yours.

Thanks in advance!

I spin wool on a spinning wheel and I am looking for MORE spinners in the
Ayreton area. I am hoping to have a Spinning session at my home every Second
Sunday, starting the Sunday after 12th Night (1/13.) I am on the Northside of
Chicago in Old Irving Park right by the blue line. Or would having a crew meet
at Ida Noyes during Fighter practice be better? Talk to me.  And if possible,
bring your wheel, your handspindle, your curiosity to try this craft out with
you and join me!

Vittoria Governante

I have an inkle loom you can use (I won it at the volunteer raffle at my first
Gulf Wars and have never used it, it's just the loom I don't have any cards).  I
am working Troll all day, so you can pick it up from me there at any time!
