April Missive from the Coronets
Greetings!
As I sit here writing this missive, it’s about 35 degrees and hailing right outside my window. Nevertheless, we know that spring is right around the corner and there will soon be reason to celebrate actual GOOD weather!
We have had an influx of new members to Blatha An Oir, who have been seen at many fight practices, meetings, etc. and many of them may need help with garb, armor, and camping gear. If you’re planning on going through your gear (as I know many of us do each spring), don’t throw out anything old….maybe some of these new people will have a use for it.
Lord Defenders will happen. At the time of this writing, it looks like we may have to move the date AGAIN, as the parks and recreation centers in this area are booked solid through the entire year. More on that in the next issue. Rest assured that everything is being done to ensure that we have a successful event in this area.
WAR IS UPON US! June 12-14 of this year marks the next HONEY WAR, where Baron Godric and Baron Aleksii fight over a few pounds of honey. It’s at a new site this year (but old to us…it’s the Equestrian Center in Rainier), so check it out on their website. More information will be posted to our E-mail list as soon as we get it!
Not part of the E-mail list? Please send an E-mail to Baroness Anne Fraser of Bearshaven at bearshaven@comcast.net to get up to date happenings in our Barony. It’s really the best way to stay apprised of things pertinent to the SCA in Blatha An Oir.
Autumn War planning committee is being formed, if you’re interested please contact HE Elspeth nic Grath at elspethn@comcast.net. We’re already getting a TON of interest for this year’s war, and we know that it will be well-attended.
Tuesday night fight practices are being well-attended also, and we’ve got quite a few good fighters here to teach newcomers. Please, if you can make it to the fight practices do so, there’s quite a bit of socializing going on as well (and more room will be available when it gets a little bit warmer).
Check our website, www.blathaanoir.org, to find out details about the other events that are happening in this area (there are far too many to list here). Just about anything medieval has a meeting of some kind here, so get involved!
In service to the Crown,
Baron Aleksii Konstantinovich Chernoi and Baroness Elspeth nic Grath
Proud Baron and Baroness of Blatha An Oir
