very interested and writes very well for his age. I reminded him that he

from Northshield who will be visiting next summer and would like to bring
her brother to a local event. And I received a follow up email from

A&S participation next year as well. We have many talented individuals in
the Barony. Much discussion followed with the group regarding siege
weapons…Griffin is bringing his ballista to the next A&S/Combo night for
those interested in participating in siege weaponry. Anyone who is heavy
authorized can participate as well as combat archers. Several are
interested, requesting a list of requirements.
There Excellencies will attend the following Events:
Atlantia 30 year
Baronial Birthday
Coronation
Seneschal – Mistress Arianna reported no further news on the site
database project. Lady Christiana is looking at MD sports facility off route
100 in Howard county, this site may be good for fighter practice. Arianna
heard back from AACO, declining accrediting us because we use weapons and
have pets. Arianna will call them this week to clarify that we don’t use
weapons or have pets if sites don’t allow them. Anne Arundel County sites
could be used for A&S, Unevent, etc without having marshalate activities.
Chamberlin – we could use the position, Saige has volunteered to take the
position which would include keeping a spreadsheet. Please contact her if
you have baronial items.
Site Database – Brendon’s father spoke to church about our use of site that
was used for Community Sewing Day. If he is the POC between the Barony
and the church, the church would be more responsive to allowing the SCA
use of their facility.
Over the next month, Arianna’s office will be directing over time, best way
to reach her is via text message or call her cell.

evil deeds of one's life will be tallied by God after death, as in a ledger

represents all mankind, and during the play tries to convince other
characters to accompany him in the hope of improving his account.
