If you feel that someone should have a Principality award, this would be a great time to recommend them. Please do as Cecille suggested, to ensure that the intended recipient doesn't already have the award in question. Principality awards that you can offer recommendations for include (descriptions come from the OP website): Award of Arms - The lowest level of armigerous rank awarded by the Crown generally to those who have become recognized integrated participants in the Society. The Crown of An Tir has granted Principality Coronets the privilege of bestowing AA's to subjects of Their Principalities in the name of the Crown. Those who have achieved an Award level rank are given the title of Lord or Lady. Hafoc - Award given for work in the martial areas toward bettering the Principality. l'Etoile d'Argent - Award given for arts and sciences efforts done to further the Principality. Red Flame - Created by Amira Celdae, membership is awarded for persona development, encampments, clothing, and other ways that encourage and further the image of medievalism within the principality. Silver Spear - Award given for service to the principality. Silver Sparkes - An award given to children to recognize their chivalry, honour and service to the principality, and to fan and nurture their potential. Created by ban-Fhlaith Bernadette. This award has been previously called the Order of the Spark and Order of the Glowing Ember. If I have missed any of the recommendable Tir Righ awards, I apologize, and would appreciate corrections.

The food and housing is provided, all a person needs to bring is armor and bedding. I am asking those of you that would like to help build and shape the An Tir army (archery elements) to think about teaching a class or classes. Each person is sworn to our King to protect and defend the kingdom here is a way to help each An Tir to be a better at war archery by stepping up and helping teach a class or help as a field instructor. The set up will be classes in the morning (2-3hr) and armor up and fighting in the afternoon (4-6hr) with after dinner class (1-2hr) or discussion on the history of a campaign, war or leader. We will be teaching two tracks one for the troops and one for the commanders. So we will teach skills in the classes then practice the skill in the afternoon. What I would like to know is there enough interest to also have an archery track? Also are there people that would like to teach these classes and run the field exercises. If you can teach I will need an outline of any class you would like or can teach by the 15th of November so that we can have all the class and a course book out by the mid of December. If you would like to work as a field instructor I will need a commitment from you also by 15th November. In service to the crown Earl Edward Ean Anderson Ed Carthell Structural Designer 4317 N.E.

Halima -- http://www.island.net/~doerksen/ ----- Forwarded message from raphaellad at yahoo.com ----- Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2011 10:32:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Raphaella DiContini After a discussion last weekend with some foodies I realized just how widely spread the perception is that "remove" is a more historically accurate pre-1600 term than "course" for courses at feasts. Please note that there is no judgment intended if people choose to use the term remove- like "dragon" "smalls" "far-talker" "bard in a box" it's something that we've created and woven into our created culture. I just wanted to share the information so it's out there. :) ? This was written by Dame Alys Katharine of Ashthorne Glen who so graciously came a taught a TON of classes at this last Culinary Symposium- including a virtual tour of the Hampton Court kitchen, sugar plate?and others. ? http://home.pcisys.net/~mem/course.html ? I love the final summary paragraph: " How were courses served, especially to high table? How were the foods presented? Were they garnished and made fancy or did the cooks just send out filled bowls? What is practical or impractical to re-create in today's world? Let's research these questions! As SCA armor, for example, has progressed from freon cans and plastic barrels to more accurate metal and leather re-creations, so we should be progressing in cookery. It is quite easy to use the term "course" instead of "remove" the next time one is involved with a feast. The printer won't object to printing "course" instead of the inaccurate term! More accurate armor increases the medieval feel of our tournaments. The nicer the armor looks, the more other fighters want to have something like it. The same applies to feasts and cookery. If our feasts have the look and feel of medieval times eventually others will want to do the same and we will have increased our knowledge of how people cooked and ate. " ?

For Yule, I thought of doing a few small trinkets as 'gifts'; things like some braided lacings, a wire-woven bracelet, a little book, a few glass beads, etc, sort of scale. We could have them hanging on a Yule tree (real of fake, Jamie is checking the hall's policies), and our guests could pick a gift to take with them. Originally I had thought we'd all make a bunch as a symbol of hospitality, but that way lies madness -- we don't -always- want to be under a one month deadline for something! So a brilliant person suggested we put it in event copy for everyone to make one thing, and we all just make a few 'extras' in case some people can't bring anything. What do you think? And of course, we are expecting the Princess at the very least, and possibly her Prince, as well as the Baron/Baroness Seagirt -- maybe we should do something special for them? My next idea is a bit more complicated. When I learned that the shires had amalgamated, one of my first thoughts was, 'I wonder what happened to all the newsletters?' Thankfully William has all of Ravensley's on electronic format; I'm fairly sure I can cobble together Cragmere's with a few friends help and set to scanning them. Anyone in Hartwood have large chunks of their old ones? The reason I'm asking, is because I figured we could put together volumes of collective wisdom from our past -- a cookbook, for example, or a book on armoury, or a memory book of events past, etc. The complicated part is tracking down all the authors to get their permission to re-print, and perhaps sell as a 'hot-damn-prospective-baronies-need-lots-of-stuff' fundraiser. Jean, do you have any advice on the legalities of it? And how much cooler would it be if some of us hand-bound them? Cooler still if they were printed, but that's the sort of monolithic task I don't want to be volunteering Elspeth for. Speaking of Elspeth's printing and our collective recent interest in books -- did you know there's a book-binder's guild? Would anyone be interested in forming a chapter up here? ~ Danielle/Cunegonda From jademagpye at gmail.com Fri Oct 28 20:05:41 2011 From: jademagpye at gmail.com (Amber) Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2011 20:05:41 -0700 Subject: [Hartwood] Ideas: Yule Gifts and Fundraising In-Reply-To: <6A154F0D-90D6-460A-8799-3AD5B1C1B3EA@topfloor.ca> References: <6A154F0D-90D6-460A-8799-3AD5B1C1B3EA@topfloor.ca> Message-ID: I am totally sold on a tree decorated with wee gifts.

I really need to re-learn the proper titles of OP!) and Aelana replied almost immediately. She was very kind in welcoming me to the guild, and advised I sign onto the mailing list here: http://missives.antir.sca.org/mailman/listinfo/bookbinders She asked what kinds of books we were making, and what kinds we wanted to learn, and asked about our recent project. I explained a little of it and linked to Halima's article, explained our interest in making Vademecum's next, and blithered on about some of the things I'd like to learn personally. I'm excited! Her website, http://aelanacordovera.com/ lists the topics she can teach, specifically in the reading room (http://aelanacordovera.com/imgreadingroom/Aelana%20teaching.pdf) So go! Sign up! There's a lot there to learn. :D ~ Cunegonda MKA Danielle -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
