I have been hoping (now that Mischa has our house looking so good) that I could host an evening at our place, and it seems this might be a nice way to do it. (A weekend night would be best, I think, so folks could come down/over, enjoy, and head back home and (for most?) not have to go to work the next day - say, a Saturday?) Our house is very open-plan, but areas can be set up easily for various activities: I have our oval table in the dining area (that is a part of the kitchen) which can seat about 6 people; we have two folding-leg tables, one seats 4, the other at least 6, and they can be put end-to-end, if need be, to create one LONG table - perhaps in the middle of the living room?; I have my sewing/crafts room for anyone wanting to get together a stitchery group (I have at least 6 TV tray tables for individuals to use at their chairs); singers/musicians might enjoy the entranceway hall or living room, with the 18' ceilings; we even have a loft walkway upstairs, between the sewing/craft room and our family room, open to both the entranceway and the living room/ kitchen/ dining room, from where some might like to try their skills at oratory... or an aria... or something Bardic-ish. :-) We have at least 12 chairs indoors, along with quite a number of outdoor chairs,and so can accommodate at least 22-24 people. We do have two cats, who will disappear to the basement or family room when people arrive, but it is worth noting for those with allergies (you might want to plan to take an antihistamine); my sewing/crafts room is a cat-free zone, though, for those who may be sewing/etc. The house is carpet-free, but there are some woven Persian-style scatter rugs here and there (which I do manage to keep fairly free of dust and cat hair... mostly... sometimes... well, when I can... I will vacuum beforehand!), so hopefully, allergies will not be an issue. I am away from Jan 20th to 27th (and the 27th is the big *meeting*; Al and I are away early Feb. for a couple/few days over to Tofino; and then we return to Victoria for his second surgery, toward the end of February, and after that he'll be recovering for a bit, at least. But other than that, we are fairly open and flexible. If we do it on a Saturday and gather early in the afternoon, and include a(n organized) pot-luck for supper, we could basically make most of a day/evening of it - both a 'house-warming' party for us (and what a way to *warm* up our home!), and a lovely social for the Shire.

I was hoping that the 'lack of transit' could be significantly mediated by hosting a social (or whatever) at my home (in South Nanaimo, right on the border with Cedar, around the corner from Southgate). I don't think we have enough level ground for a real heavy fighter's practice, nor for archery, but once we have nicer weather I am sure we could accommodate some dance... maybe a little rapier... music/ performance... games... stitchery... heck - even a movie night?

I'd like to see fighters come out to Hartwood activities because what they do is so cool! The Games Nights are great for them to meet the non-fighters who would like to invite them to tourneys and such, and find out more about these people who want to help make the fighters -look- even better when they are out there fighting. Games Nights are low-key, casual and easy to hang out at even if you don't play any of the games.

This is just the way I see things, and not necessarily about games nights. I love the fact that people are planning things, I appreciate it greatly, I just find quite a bit gets confusing, and I am not sure if I am the only one or not. Part of My personal non-attendance has been due to the core questions not being answered, there is sometimes a when, sometimes a where, but it is really difficult to talk myself into going somewhere I do not know, not knowing whether it is actually happening or not, or if I am off on the day even. (btw, yes, this has happened..oops) my recommendation to this problem being gone is very simple, at the end of the planning stage, the what, when and where questions are put in a single e-mail, so one doesn't have to go through inbox for the past months to find the rogue e-mail with some data.

So many pages, mailing lists, Facebook pages etc with little cohesion between them. People post stuff willy-nilly and often a lot of information is lost, especially to newcomers. Every branch should have ONE location established as their MAIN information source whether it is a mailing list, newsletter or some other place. That source should then be listed on all the other out-pages so people know where to get the information that is critical to them. One example is martial groups often have Facebook pages etc and do not post their meeting/practice info to the main list so many who are not regular attendees do not know where to go. Some help is on the way. An Tir now has a ?Social Media Policy? committee which will be drafting acceptable usage for Social Media in An Tir. In the mean time, contact and meeting/practice information should be centralized and your branch Customaries should be updated to reflect the location and name of your main information venue. It also wouldn't hurt to have a newcomer portal with direction on how to proceed for them.

I think that people who have moved here from other shires may be struggling with how we communicate, and their expectations of the roles various media plays. This is not a small shire, nor is it a close-knit one; the geographic distances mean that we do not get to all hang out once (or several) times a week for various activities such as A&S, Bardic, Heraldic consultation, or dance. Word of mouth doesn't spread. Conversations cannot be had face-to-face. Because of this, we require a method of communication that allows for -conversations- to happen, not simply announcements; discussion is the main purpose of this particular forum. I would love to discuss plans for the games night with the majority of the shire over a sewing night, but I can't, so I open the conversation here -- because if I don't, no one outside of Courtenay gets a say. That isn't fair. It should be understood also that this forum is our only official one. The website is static, the facebook forum is completely unofficial (We aren't even permitted to link to it off the website until we get a media policy in place). This is the place one comes to for the what when and where. I have mentioned the email list to one of the Nanaimo fighters when I was down there and shared the link; I had hoped the information would be spread. For the last several events, repeated reminder notices have been sent out so people would have to do less digging, and these notices HAVE included the full info of What, When and Where. The truth is that there often isn't an 'end' to the planning stage; things develop, things change. Sometimes we can't wait to send out notifications until all the wrinkles are ironed out. There often is no final copy until days before the event. The important thing is that any notice does in fact contain all the information required to attend an event -- and we have been trying very hard to do this. I'm very sorry if I have wound up confusing people rather than being helpful; it certainly was never my intention. Your idea is a good one, but can't really be implemented because of the lack of any 'final' copy -- on the other hand, we could try to append 'Discussion' and 'Copy' to posts to differentiate between the two, despite the fact 'copy' may not be final. Try, because there is a lot of people to indoctrinate with a new custom. (Which doesn't mean it isn't worth doing.) ~ Danielle (Who will someday learn to 'reply all' to these things, she swears) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

These two changes are from the Marshal meeting notes at July Coronation. From July Coronation Archery & Thrown Weapons -- a clarification to the rules confirming that children can come to the range with a ?responsible adult? designated by their parent or legal guardian as long as that individual has the required consent paperwork on them. ? Page 4 of the 2010 Book of Target, item C.4c -- ?If an event, a specific shoot at an event, or practice is for adults and minors: The minor's parent or legally authorized representative must be at the range. During such activities, marshals are not required to have a background check.? ? All children must have the http://www.antir.sca.org/Pubs/forms/05_Minor_Consent.pdf and also either the US or Canadian medical consent form depending on the situation: o http://www.antir.sca.org/Pubs/forms/04_MinorMedical_US.pdf OR o http://www.antir.sca.org/Pubs/forms/04_MinorMedical_CAN.pdf Addendum to the ABC?s -- This is a single document that will cover changes in all of the marshal disciplines in between editions of the official combat manuals. The intent is to make it easier for everyone to learn about updates to the rules, rather than trying to track these through Crier notices and mailing lists. Their Majesties approved the first edition this weekend. The majority of the current changes relate to adult armored combat, and some of these may have implications for the older children in the YAC program. There is also one change to the Book of Target. Changes for rapier and equestrian will be added in the future. Please urge all fighters and marshals to periodically review the Addendum on the An Tir Combat Shelf: http://www.antir.sca.org/Pubs/index.php#combat.shelf . A notice will also be put on the fighter and marshal email lists each time the document is updated. > __._,_.___ > Reply via web post Reply to sender Reply to group Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (1) > RECENT ACTIVITY: > Visit Your Group > Switch to: Text-Only, Daily Digest ?

We will be hiding all the sharp knives, but we do have a Nerf pistol and a foam roller, should they be required. TIERCE Tierce the Shiba will be in attendance, as will his hair. We've given up on eradicating it and have settled for vacuuming up what we can and considering the rest as insulation. He will not bite, but may try to will whatever you're eating into his mouth with his Shiba mind control powers. PARKING Parking is plentiful on the street. Please do not park in the driveway as that is our landlords' space. FRONT DOOR Our front door is on the right hand side, around the back. Beware the Japanese Cherry tree beside Mischa's car; it has long branches that can catch you in the eye. We keep talking about trimming them back. WHAT TO BRING Nonsequential $10s and $20s, unmarked bills. If your bank refuses to dispense the same, you can bring food and drink to share if you're eager to fuel the masses. We're going to have coffee and tea regardless. If I am feeling particularly benevolent, we might have hot chocolate. Maybe. Bring your games! We have Shut The Box, but apparently SOME PEOPLE think that Cranium and Munchkin ARE NOT medieval games. Crazy. DISCLAIMER This is not an official SCA event. Therefore, if someone shoots you with a Nerf pistol or if you step on Tierce and trip and fall and break your arm, it's not their fault. Not even a little bit. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Communication seems to pass you by? Missed that date-change, and now standing by yourself in an empty hall? Well of course not, because you're here. But you may have a friend who isn't, and is increasingly frustrated by not really knowing what's going on. They, and we, need your help! Four of us have decided to get together and act as phone-tree communications volunteers. This is unofficial! But it seems like it may be useful. Your volunteers are: Nanaimo: Attilla/Aetius Rex Coombs: Bernice/Julianne le Salles Port Alberni: Shirley/Fjorlief Fjallsdottir Courtenay: Danielle/Cunegonda If there is a meeting notice, event copy, date change, or anything similar thats required for participation in our club, we will chat together to make certain the four of us know and then contact people in our areas who either don't have a computer or simply don't tend to check messages. Alternatively, someone who's feeling more pro-active can contact us and ask, 'Hey, what's the news?' Because we'll know. So here's the problem... if there's anyone in Courtenay who needs this service I have no way of knowing/contacting them. It's a catch 22. For all of you reading this, I need you to have a good long think about anyone who may want to be included. I need you to ask them if they would like a courtesy call, and I need you to facilitate an exchange of phone numbers. It's a lot of work, I know! But please don't just give me someones phone number without giving them a heads up, I hate cold calling. :( If anyone needs our contact numbers, please feel free to message me privately. (Whereupon I will ask how I managed to miss getting you a copy of the farspeaker, in which we all have our info. Except me. Because the only typo in the entire darn thing is my own phone number, which actually ends in a 1.) Thanks! Hopefully this will facilitate a more inclusive atmosphere. :) ~ Danielle/Cunegonda From archerychik at gmail.com Thu Jan 31 16:45:07 2013 From: archerychik at gmail.com (Allison Mail) Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:45:07 -0800 Subject: [Hartwood] Archery at Investiture Message-ID: Archers of Tir Righ, it's time to dust off your bows and fix up your arrows! There will be archery at Investiture! Though we have a limited time to shoot, I'm hoping to run a couple of fun shoots with a final, exciting, nail biting shoot off. Please come prepared to shoot outdoors. Although I'm sure the sun will be shining brightly, we will be bringing our shelter just in case. The competition is scheduled to start at 11 am.
