In person sewing Sunday May 7th 2-5pm

In person sewing at my house this Sunday and most every Sunday, except war practice. Sewing is from 2pm to 5pm at 1105 Shady Ave, Pittsburgh, 15232. We really really really need scroll cases. I have plenty of cardboard, fabric, table space, sewing machines and a serger, a power cutter for cardboard and scissors for fabric. This is an urgent call. Iris festival is in 5 weeks and we need scroll cases. Furthermore, so does the kingdom. I’d like to be able to donate some to the kingdom at war practice and possibly at iris festival. You can bring cardboard or fabric, but you must take any unused with you. I’m full here. I will also collect empty scroll cases to return them to the barony. You can also give them to the signet Rachel or the Baron or Baroness.

Although the sewing focus for the next few weeks is scroll cases, if you want help sewing Japanese or something else, please stop by.

Just a reminder, the marathon is this weekend. The route from fight practice to my house should open between 1:30 and 2pm on Sunday.

We are having a budget meeting to discuss the upcoming year and the financial health of the Barony. If you are an officer, deputy, guild leader, or have some other request for funds via the barony for events, guild activities, or other Barony gatherings now is the time to request budgetary input. We will be doing so via ZOOM. [links will be sent out prior to the meeting]

All members of the populace are welcomed to join but only members of the financial committee will have a vote; however we encourage discussion and informed voting.

The Stellar Tournament series returns with the Sky List this Sunday!

This Sunday, April 23rd from 11am to 2pm, we will once again be holding archery practice at the Highland Park practice site. During this week’s practice we will also see the return of the Stellar Tournament series with the first Sky List of the season!

There will be a qualifier shoot happening from 11am until around 12:30pm and then the tournament will begin shortly after. Join us for a fun day of archery and competition as we determine who will be named the next Vindex Coelorum, the Defender of the Sky!

If you’d like to borrow our loaner gear please reach out to me via email at archerymarshal (at) debatablelands.org, or send me a message on Facebook or Discord, and I’ll make sure to bring a set for you.

Good luck to all competitors!

Congratulations to Our New Webminister!

The Barony Officers have chosen to appoint Niall Mac Rædwulf as our new Barony webminister! Niall enters the office with plenty of “Tech in These Current Middle Ages” experience in his work as Ætherial herald and as a deputy Kingdom Webminister. I am excited for the plans Niall has for the site, calendars and communications, and will serve as his deputy as long as he requires.

It has been a pleasure serving as Webminister over the past two years. I thank the officers for giving this SCA newbie a chance, and for the populace for being patient with me as I learned the ropes!

In Service,

Herr Reinhard Regenbogen

Calling all Vikings!

Long ago when the Debatable Lands were newly settled, a group of Viking Age enthusists came together to discuss all things Viking. This Vikingr group lasted many years and even ran events such as the fabled Vetr Things. Sadly, Vikingr faltered as its members passed into memory or out of the Society. However, interest in Viking Age Scandinavia is not gone.

Norse of the next generation, do you want to restart Vikingr?

This group would meet once a month in person on the North side. We would discuss topics related to Viking Age Scandinavia, with a bent towards historical practice and living history.

Víkingr would be a place to:

  • Discuss the latest archeology
  • Show off your Norse-themed recreations
  • Share your latest research rabbit holes
  • Plan museum trips
  • Bounce around ideas for projects
  • Find ways to enhance your Norse persona
  • Host a book club for the Sagas
  • Watch and discuss videos from museums and Viking Age reenactors around the world
  • Swap resources
  • Play hnefatafl
  • Sail the North Sea*

Interested? Contact Hrefna on the Discord server or email (see the Dark Pages or contact Baroness Hilda for her email.)
