As BMDL Twelfth Night, January 12th at the North Park Lodge comes closer here is a message from our Master of Cookies!
From the Master of Cookies,
Once again at Baronial Twelfth Night on January 12th, we will search for the finest bakers of cookies in the Kingdom.
Those who wish to compete should bring a large sampling for the populace and a separate plate of ten cookies to be set aside for the judges. All cookies will be open for populace judging throughout the day. Submissions will be accepted starting at 10:00 and judging will begin at 11:00 and continue until 4:00.
This year, pending availability, Their Excellencies, Brandubh and Hilderun, will pick their winners. If the King and Queen of Fools are selected early enough, they too will be judges. Please remember that Maistir Brandubh requires gluten-free selections and there are others in our Barony that have similar restrictions. Should be joined by any “special guests,” they may be asked to serve.
There will be a populace’s choice as well judged the same way the pie contest was run at last Barony Meeting by dropping beans as votes for the cookie of choice.
Please include a recipe if you wish and any nutritional information to protect our Barony.
In service to the Debatable Lands,
Mestari Urho Waltterinen
For Sunday, November 17, due to the cold weather we will not be having archery practice at Highland Park. However, Archer’s are welcome to join us at Chieftain Archery Club to shoot an indoor short range, and submit scores for the Gwintarian challenge. http://web.raex.com/~obsidian/wint.html
The Chieftain Archery Club charges $5 per visitor, so please come prepared for that cost in cash. They do not have the availability to take cards.
Chieftan Archery Club Address:
4711 Leechburg Rd, New Kensington, PA 15068
We will be there 11:30am to 2. 😉🏹🎯
Greeings,
Starting Sunday December 2, and the first Sunday of each month after that, the BMDL fencing practice will be a crossover muster between the SCA and the Broken Plow rapier group.
The address is:
Broken Plow Western Martial Arts
201 Crawford Run Rd
Creighton, PA 15030
We will start at 1:30 PM and will go until everyone is tired.
We will primarily be fighting using SCA fencing or Cut n Thrust rules. However the members of Broken Plow will be practicing with us if there is any interest in learning more about how their fighting system works.
I will have the BMDL loaner rapier and cut n thrust equipment available if anyone needs to borrow anything.
Comtesse Elena d’Artois is our site contact and liaison between the groups, so thank you to her for this opportunity.

Hello,
Fight practice will be held at Baron Byron and Baroness Ariella’s castle (755 Stonegate Dr, Wexford, PA). There will be activities occurring prior to practice so the start time is not certain, but I would expect to start between 2:15 and 2:30.
Robert
Sunday, November 11th, from 11am to 4pm
755 Stonegate Dr, Wexford
Hello,
The parking lot we use has two DPW markers covering one end of the entrance. I think there may be a pot hole there. But the rest of the entrance is available, and should be much the same as it has been. So I do plan to have fight practice today.
Robert
Greetings,
Robert checked the site and the entrance is not blocked to access, the very large corner of the pothole at the entrance is all that is blocked.
Practice is able to continue as usual if another marshal can run it this week. If you can run practice please contact me by 12:00 so we can get an announcement made.
If you don’t hear from me before practice today, practice is canceled.
Next week practice will be at the harvest revel after barony meeting.

Konichiwa Debatable Lands!!! Well, well, well… I was going to post that we were finally going to have practice again. However, apparently the city has other plans. So, barring a sudden change in circumstance, I am reluctantly cancelling practice. If anything changes, I will inform you all immediately!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will not be having archery practice this Sunday (Nov 4th).
Stay dry and warm. ☕
Next week we’ll be at the Castle for harvest revel. 😉 Hope to see you there.
