myself. I couldn't help but gloat a lil when I was told we had made front page

Hey folks, sorry, I know the minutes are all be-fudged up. Something went
horribly wrong with the copy/paste...or maybe I just did a "sit" job typing and
thinking at the same time :P I'll fix them soon enough though, not to worry.
Probably tomorrow.

well..technically we could be concidered pre-21st century...it's still accurate.
:P

And yeah..people will now know who the crazies are walking down the street.
Instead of the typical reaction of "renn faire crazy folk" we'll now be "SCA
crazy folk"....BIG diff. lol.

This article is a big step for us..now maybe when we talk to people about
joining, they'll know a bit more and might be more receptive. We're DEFF gonna
get more media coverage sometime in the future though, possibly at that
demo/event we very briefly discussed at the Thing. Something like that aughta be
a good spread for the paper and aughta get a good reception form the public.

Once again, thanks to all you folks from Darkstone for having come down and
supported/beat us :D At least this time I walked away without any bruises or
armour bite!!!.....I kinda miss em.

Hey there folks, just a heads up that I have submitted my Seneschal domesday
report already. I don't know how busy I'm gonna be this following week with work
and other stuff, so I just went ahead and did it in the turkey induced haze I am
in :D

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving and that you spent it in the company of
loved ones...failing that in the company of people who you can stand yet cook
well...failing that, I hope you ate too much turkey to care about the annoying
company next to you :P

Be well:
MdS

Greetings unto the populace of Ketelblastr and beyond:

This is your weekly Thing and Gathering notification:

You are hereby notified that there will be NO Thing, nor will there be a Gathering this Saturday, November 28th 2009.

I do, however, urge you to think about attending Boar's head if you can and get in touch with me about that ASAP. Darkstone made it seem like a really fun event and got my interest up. All royalty will be there, and there will be a lot going on! http://www.northshield.org/Events/EventAd.aspx?ID=533

Marcial de Salas

Greetings unto the populace of Ketelblastr and beyond.

This is your weekly Thing and gathering reminder.

A Thing is not scheduled for this week (Saturday, December 5th) due to a lack of prior notice, but I will be holding and armouring session at my house beginning at 4:00. Please call me if you plan on attending.

My apologies for not being in contact with you folks sooner, things have been hectic to say the least.

Be well
Marcial de Salas

Warm greetings unto the populace of ketelblastr:

I am writing to say that I went over to Darkstone to take a couple of interested folks up for a practice (inpromptu) and attended one of their meetings. A couple of things came up

1-obviously we will not be holding the chirstmas party we were planning due to lack of time and proper planning. Given that we were going to invite Darkstone to the one we were going to throw, Mark and I decided to make it a joint venture. As of now, Lady Riva and myself are trying to plan out a 12th night party (Jan 6th I believe) and are currently looking into places to hold it. If anyone from Ketelblastr is interested in planning it out or knows of some fun places to hold a large party (we're looking at around 50 odd people attending from both groups) please get in touch with me.

There are a few places that I am looking at and will have to call when I have the time, Namely the VFW in Bessemer, memorial building in Ironwood, Powdermill and town hall in Ironwood twnsp.

2-we need to have a Thing this week, we have a lot of stuff to discuss and it has been too long since we have gotten together. So this is the official notice for this week's Thing.

We will be holding a Thing and Gathering on Saturday, December 12th beginning at 4:30 at Marcial and Kathryn's house. please bring some A&S activities for the gathering, fighters, bring your armour for an armouring session mmmmmkay?

Be well, fortune favors the bold.
Marcial de Salas

Greetings unto the populace of Ketelblastr:

This is your weekly Thing and Gathering notice/reminder do-hickie thingamajiger whatchmacallit dealie.

Ketelblastr will be holding a Thing this Saturday, December 19th beginning at 4:30 pm at Marcial and Kathryn's house. Please call or e-mail if you need directions.

After our Thing, we will be holding an armouring and A&S session, so bring your projects and armour. See you all there.

Yours in Service
Marcial de Salas

Greetings unto the populace of Ketelblastr:

I am just writing to say that the Thing was called off at the last minute due to a lack of attendees.

Given the fact that we weren't able to discuss some stuff on Saturday, I would like to post up some info and I would very much like to get some feedback from you all (I shall post a poll after I write this post). Darkstone and Ketelblastr are planning a 12th night party and here is the info we have on locales thus far. Please review the info and vote on the venue you'd like to have it at. Also, the date is up for a vote. Any weekend after Jan 10th would be ideal.  I will post up a poll for this as well.

Knight of Columbus hall - Ironwood MI
no real info, we would have to send in a letter of intent to the Grand Knight with date and things of the sort.
Saxon Community Center- Saxon WI
They rent 1 big room with enough seating for 100 people with approx 15 tables..more than enough. Weekends are open as of now for the first and second week on Jan. It is $100 plus $150 deposit/clean up fee (which we get back if we clean up after ourselves and nothing is set on fire, broken, dissolved, death-rayed or elsewise destroyed). It is $25 less if we keep the site dry, but alchohol is permitted. 5 PM and later.
Kimball Community Center- Kimball WI
The price is $425 plus a $200 deposit. Alchohol is permissable until 2:00 am. Seating is for 150 people and they are open the first and second weekends in Jan.
Hurley Inn- Hurley WI
pre-decorated banquet hall free of charge, but we;d have to take them up on a buffet (chicken, veggie, potato, italian bread, spaghetti). We'd have access to their bar and rooms woudl be there for over-imbibed guests to rent. The charge is $10.25 a plate for the buffet....that could add up REALLY fast.
Ironwood Township Hall-Ironwood MI
$150 with a $150 deposit. If we wish to have alchohol, tack on another $100. On the plus side, they have a kitchen for our use and more than enough room to fight shoudl Darkstone Marshalls feel like working the night.
Valhalla Chalet - Washburn WI
Free.  Within the Valhalla Recreation area of the Chequamegon National Forest.  Depending on number of people, can get a bit crowded.
There is a wood stove and a fireplace/pit.  Limited number of tables.  Bathroom's are outside (pit toliets - not heated).  Lots of Outside space to do stuff.
Parking is $5.00 per vehicle (carpooling is a good idea).  I do believe there is No Alcohol in accordance to Forest Service Policies.
Student Lounge, Ponzio Student Center - Northland College, Ashland, WI
Free.  Outside space to do stuff (over by soccer field, not to far behind the Ponzio Student Cetner.  Good deal of space and tables.  Two microwaves available.
Has a fireplace.  I believe No alcohol, due to school policy and minor present.

Also, I would like to announce that the second issue of Scattered Stones is all printed up (and looking super-spiffy) and ready for our group. Please contact Kathryn if you would like to get your copy before our next Thing/Gathering (which I do not know when it shall be..kinda looks like the 2nd of Jan, but please do let me know if you all feel like having one on the 26th).

Be well, Have a Merry Christmas, Kwaanza, Hanukkah, Boxing Day, Ashura, Festivus or whatever it is that you and yours celebrate :)

Milady Finna:

No, this is not an event, just a get-together 12th night party that Ketelblastr
and Darkstone are co-hosting. As far as I am aware, there is no attendance fee.
The only "fees" for anyone are your presence and cheer. Since this party is
pot-luck, you can bring a dish if you so desire, as well as a present for a
volunteer gift exchange if you wish to take part in that.

Darkstone and Ketelblastr would split the site cost 50/50 if we choose to go
with a site that charges. Below are the sites we had looked at, go ahead and
check out theinfo we have and cast your vote so that Riva and myself can talk it
over soon :)

Fret not Milady, things have been hectic all around due to holidays and stuff,
and few people have had time to play in the SCA, but we'll get back on-track
soon mmkay? Just glad to hear that you and your clan made it back safely from
your travels.

If this is a mere gathering, I would like to keep the group costs down, so I
obviously voted for the less expensive choices. Don's work schedule will
determine our "presence and cheer" (doesn't real life suck sometimes?!?).

I would also like to know when we can start working on our group/individual
banners and pennons? Did we determine a size and material limit? I would like to
suggest we do that and subtract the costs for those first before we contribute
as a group to the 12th night (IF there are group costs) since the pennons were
already decided! We have these winter months to work on them before the fair
weather arrives! I would like to volunteer the use of my dining room table to
lay out, measure, cut and sew the basic pennons. Individual embellishments can
be added at leisure! We shall be a Bold Presence!!!

Lenore
(Yes,yes, I am still working on that name!)

Greetings Lady Lenore:

Yeah, seems most folk are going the inexpensive route (myself included). Tell
Lord Frost to duck out!!!! Call it research into shoe styles as most of us will
be in garb! ;D Mayhaps I'll just swing by the store and abduct him in true
raider style.

As for when we are going to get to work on pennants/pennons/banners, we have yet
to discuss it. We only got as far as designing our proposed devices and saying
we would commit them to fabric and saying we aughta buy the material for it.
"Things" have been few and far between the past month or so (though it has given
us more time for armouring and fighting, mua-ha-ha)and we just haven't gotten a
chance to talk about it as a group. I am hoping to hold one this Saturday, and
I'll be posting a notice later this week.

Sweet, yoru table is deff big enough to cut out large pieces of fabric :D If we
all get a pennon done, then our group will deff be able to decorate boldy at any
events or outdoor practices we hold, really show off our colors as it were.

already decided! We have these winter months to work on them before the fair
weather arrives! I would like to volunteer the use of my dining room table to
lay out, measure, cut and sew the basic pennons. Individual embellishments can
be added at leisure! We shall be a Bold Presence!!!

this party is pot-luck, you can bring a dish if you so desire, as well as a
present for a volunteer gift exchange if you wish to take part in that.

Greetings populace of Ketelblastr!

Marcial would like me to let everyone know that there will be a Thing held on 01/02/10 beginning at 4:30pm at our house (unless anyone else wishes to host our group at their home). We have a lot to discuss so if everyone can make it that would be great! If you need directions let us know. We look forward to seeing everyone in the New Year!

Yours in Service,

 Kathryn

On behalf of Ketelblastr, I would like to extend a welcome to our new yahoo

check out the pics we have, and view the database and interact with us in
general!

Please do familiarize yourself with the database section, and go ahead and
create an entry for yourself under the roll call and go ahead and create an
entry for the food allergies (nobody wants to see you puff up and croak like a
frog sucking methane because we put peanuts in a dish and forgot to mention it)

Welcome and make yourself at home. ....trash pickup is on thursdays.

Yours in service
