Pennsic Pre-Reg Ends June 16th!

Hello Debatable Lands!

Pre-Registration (paid) for the Great Pennsic War ends JUNE 16th!!

All are welcome to camp with the Barony, but PLEASE NOTE:

If you are planning to camp with the Debatable Lands (camp name: “Debatable Lands”), including our sub-camp, you MUST pre-register (paid) by June 16th! Note that unpaid pre-regs do not count for land allocation, so you must submit a paid registration to camp with us.

Our camp name is “Debatable Lands” for both the main camp and our sub-camp.

Here’s the link: http://www.pennsicwar.org/penn47/

Also, if you register to camp with the main Debatable Lands camp, and we don’t know you, please do drop me a line (need to get your tent dimensions and add you to camp info dissemination): baroness@debatablelands.org.

Award Recommendations Wanted!

Hello Debatable Lands, from Hilda and Brandubh, Baron and Baroness.

Our next Baronial Court is at Pennsic at the Debatable Lands Party, Middle Sunday in Aethelmearc Royal. It is our honor to be able to recognize those members of our Barony (including the Canton and College) with local awards. We are seeking recommendations!

Q: So, who can recommend folks?

A: Anyone! From the newest new folks to the people that have been around for decades!

Q: Who should you recommend?

A: Any gentle that lives in the Barony (including our Canton and College), and who contributes to the Barony in some way. We also have an “Friend of the Barony” type award for people that live outside our borders, but who have contributed to our Barony.

Q: What Baronial awards can we recommend people for?

A: The main Baronial award is the Comet. We separate the different areas of interest by color, or Branubh and I are using metals for our tenure for a few of them:
A Gold Comet is for service to the Barony.
A Silver Comet (previously blue-silver) is for excellence in Arts and Sciences in the Barony.
An Iron Comet (previously red) is for excellence in one or more of the martial activities here in the Barony.
Purple Comets are given to the youth of the Barony who contribute in any field.
A Comitus Amicus (previously green) is our “friend of the Barony” award, given to those who contribute to the Debatable Lands (any field, but usually service), but who do not live within our borders.

We also have an Order, the Order of Copernicus, given out rarely, and to those Barony members who have made a long-term, very positive impact here.

Q: How do you recommend people?

A: By private email, please. Or in person or by social media (private message), but it helps to follow up by email. You can reach us at baron@debatablelands.org, and baroness@debatablelands.org.

Q: How do we know if the worthy gentle already has a Comet?

A: Check out our Order of Precedence here: http://debatablelands.org/herald/op/

But you may notice that people can receive more than one Comet! Lots of folks have be awarded multiple Comets over the years, of the same and different colors, in recognition of continued contributions. Go ahead and recommend someone for Comet, even if they have one. It’s not likely that we’ll award a Comet of the same category within a year or two of the last one to someone, but it doesn’t hurt to recommend anyway! People are inducted into the Order of Copernicus just once.

Q: What if you want to recommend a Kingdom award?

A: Please do! You can use the form here: http://www.aethelmearc.org/onlineaward/, and it will get to the Royalty. And hey, if you want to drop me and Brandubh a note telling us about that recommendation, we could send one for that person, too!

Reminder: Pennsic Pre-Reg Deadline June18th

Hello! Here’s another reminder that Pennsic Pre-Registration ends June 18th! If you want to camp with the Debatable Lands, you MUST pre-reg, paid!

Here’s some info from the Pennsic folks:

Online prepaid registration for Pennsic will end on June 18th, 11:59pm EDT. With that in mind here are a few questions that have come up frequently for us at the Land Office:

Q: How much space is allotted to a group or camper per paid pre-registration?
A: About 250 square feet per person.

Q: Does an unpaid pre-registration reserve space for my group?
A: No, it does not. Unpaid pre-registrations are purely to provide convenience at troll, as your information will already be available in the computer system.
