Barony Social – 9/17/22

Post-Pennsic blahs? Missed your friends and want a smaller gathering closer to home? Want to celebrate talk like a pirate day? Come join us for a picnic, court, and all sorts of SCA activities. Bring your own food and drinks for lunch and/or dinner.

Hawkeye Park, 711 Hawkeye Dr, Monroeville 15146

Make your best way to US 22 E Monroeville, either the 2nd Monroeville exit off 376 from Pittsburgh or the Monroeville exit off 76. Go East on 22 for a mile, then turn left at the light onto Elliot Rd. Turn R onto Ellini Dr, then L on Hawkeye Dr into the park. 

Site is handicapped accessible, with a few rough spots.

Garb optional but encouraged.

Site is beer/wine wet but NO glass containers. There are grills, playground, and bathrooms (indoors and will require masks)

There is room for day shades, and bring your own chairs unless you are comfortable at picnic tables.

Covid Check will open by 11 for those setting up. We will continue to follow Æthelmearc covid guidelines- either proof of vaccination or a negative test within 3 days, and indoor masking- in this case only the bathrooms. Classes will start at 1, and Court will be at 4 pm.

There will not be martial activities, but martial classes are in the works. 

Tentative class schedule: 

Hrefna Thorgrimsdottir (Raven)- community embroidery project- try your hand at embroidery as a new skill, or learn a more advanced technique, and we’ll have a group project at the end.

Thrown Weapons, archery, and fencing clinics- details to follow.

Rufina Saavedra-  whipcord

Emrys Eustace (Broom)- knots

Arianna of Wynthrope- choir sing along, culminating in singing Marche Baroniae for court if you feel comfortable. 

Maire ni Cathal ui Conchobar- children’s activities.

Althing Call for Content

Greetings to the Barony!

The Althing, our Baronial Newsletter, is published once a quarter and accepts content submissions of any nature that would be of interest to members of the Barony from anyone who wishes to contribute. You don’t have to be an officer, you don’t have to be a paid member, you don’t even have to live in the Debatable Lands. Pennsic shenanigans, upcoming events, cool new stuff you’ve done and want to show off, anything is welcome. Please send submissions to my personal email silencethebard [at] gmail for the time being as we’re still ironing out some delivery hiccups for the official chronicler address.

The deadline this month is September 16, one week from today!

In Service and Song,
Silence, Chronicler

Fight Practice 9/4/22

I intend to hold practice today at the park. My apologies for late notice. Tracking the changing weather forecast delayed a decision on my part. If we experience lightning we will call off at that point.

Hope to see folks there!

Guillaume

Archery practice is still on

Hello archers!

Archery practice is still happening today at the Washington Blvd practice site from 11am to 2pm. We’ll have to keep an eye on the weather and we may have to pack up early if the rain gets any lightning mixed in, but other than that it should be another fun day of shooting!

See you out there!

Ronan

Online Sewing Thurs. 8/18 at 7:30

Online Sewing will be happening again this Thursday in Kingdom zoom starting at 7:30 p.m. The theme this month is laundry! Many of us have lots of Pennsic laundry that needs to be washed, dried, ironed, and folded. Or if you prefer to sew or just hang out that’s fine too. Join us and share a story or two. If you have questions or want a specific topic in the future, contact sewing (at) debatablelands (dot) org.
