A and S — Fletching — Sunday, May 13th

=============================================
FLETCHING!

Yes, it is Mother’s Day. Yes, it may rain; if it does, we may cancel this week’s A&S. Call me for verification if you wish, I will also post on FB.

FLETCHING!
Tomorrow/Sunday is A&S in BMDL, and this week’s class is on modern fletching, and will be taught by Master Urho Waltterinen. This is only the second time that Urho has taught for us, so please take advantage of this rare opportunity. Because this is a time-consuming process, as we must wait for the glue to dry, we are starting a little earlier than usual at 12:30. All of the jigs, glue, shafts, feathers and all the other things will be brought for us to learn on. Thanks, Urho!!

Location: Washington Boulevard martial practice site
Address: Allegheny River Blvd and Washington Blvd.
Directions: http://www.debatablelands.org/martial/fight_directions.php
Time: 12:30 PM.  Weather permitting!

NEW Standard disclaimers here:

We are much more accessible to our less mobile friends, have free parking, and a pet-friendly site. Yay!

However, keep in mind that you should bring everything you need for your comfort including a chair, a beverage or snack, bug spray, sunscreen, hat, cabana boy, musical instruments, boots, sun umbrella, foul weather gear, etc., etc., etc. Also, the site has a porta-john and no running water so please make appropriate preparations.

I will have a table and a jug of water so that you can refill your water bottles or mugs.

If you need assistance or have questions, please call or text me at 724-759-3333.

Thank you for asking! These meetings are free and there is no materials charge, as we are generously supported by the Barony and by those who teach.

See you there!  Elss Augsburg

It's the Art-Signal! Quick, to the Science-Mobile!

May Barony Meeting – NEW DATE

Due to the third Sunday of the month falling on the final day of War Practice, I am moving the Barony Meeting to the following week, 27 May 2018. I realize that this is Memorial Day Weekend but the next available date wouldn’t be until June, which is too late. The meeting will start at 2:00 p.m. and will be at the Summer Fighter Practice site at the small park at the intersection of Washington Blvd and Allegheny River Blvd.

Baronial Baldrics for Pennsic!

Greetings to all Debatable Landers from your Heavy Weapons Unit Commander!

Come join us in making new Baronial baldrics! On Wednesday, May 16 and Wednesday, May 23, from 7:30 – 9:30 there will be special sewing circles at Mistress Ts’vee’a’s house (5167 Rosecrest Dr. Pgh 15201) to turn ordinary gold fabric and comet patches into Baronial Baldrics! Our goal is to provide baldrics for various gentles representing the BMDL in various martial activities at Pennsic. With your help, the BMDL will stand out in glory! Please respond to myself or Mistress Ts’vee’a for questions or further details. Thank you!

Brewers Guild Updates

Greetings Debatable Lands,

Exciting news from your Brewers Guild!  We had an excellent kickoff meeting last week with a whopping EIGHT people in attendance.  Thank you to everyone who showed up!

We had a very productive evening sorting through all of the guild supplies and creating an inventory.  For what, you may ask? We will be providing an equipment lending library for any brewers who need supplies!  Stay tuned for details on what we have and how to borrow it!

We also set goals and planned events for the coming year, including two types of ciders that will be ready in time for the Baronial dinner at Pennsic!  The Brewers Guild is off to a great start, and new members are always welcome, no matter your experience level.

Although we will typically be meeting on the first Wednesday of the month at Alysoun’s home in Pleasant Hills, please note the changes to date and/or location for these upcoming meetings:

  • “June”: Wednesday, May 30 at Tofi’s house (moved one week earlier because of vacation schedule) – brewing Pennsic cider
  • July: Wednesday, July 11 (moved one week later because of Independence Day) at Alysoun’s house – topic TBD
  • “August”: Wednesday, July 25 at Tofi’s house (moved one week earlier because of Pennsic Peace Week) – bottling Pennsic cider
As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers!
Alysoun

Correction: Heavy Weapons Practice 6 May

There was a mistake in the announcement for Heavy Weapons practice for this Sunday.

The muster in King’s Crossing is TOMORROW. The organizer says, “In your GPS or maps use the following address: 667 Floral Hill Drive, Washington PA. This will be a bit to the northwest of the park. Alternatively, you can use the lat/long to take you to the park: 40.170913,-80.177513”
