Running a Feast
In response to moderately-frequent requests, Karl Faustus von Aachen of the Lionheart Company has resurrected his "how-to"
document, titled How To Run A Feast Without Hurting Yourself And/Or Getting Executed For
Treason. It's guaranteed!
Speaking Forsoothly
The original article on "Speaking Forsoothly" has been removed at the request of the author, because transcription errors
reduced its quality quite markedly. If you want to indulge in this practice, by popular request we provide the following links:
I hope this might satisfy the craving!
More coming soon...

Bookings Policy
The barony has a Bookings Policy for its events, but it's still unofficial. Take a look, and let the
Seneschal know if you have any suggestions.
Officers' Blogs
Every baronial officer is now welcome to set up a blog, or web log, to communicate with the barony about their portfolio.
If you're an officer, you can use your blog to keep in touch with the barony and with the seneschal and baron and baroness,
so they know what you're up to. Owain is quite happy to take your blog posts as your official report, if you keep them
reasonably up to date.
As a service to the barony while the sca.org.au server waits for an upgrade, Karl Faustus von Aachen is hosting the blogs on
his personal website. Once the sca.org.au server is upgraded, the blogs will move
over there, but all the old content will be carried over.

Help With Heraldry
Jehan de Bonifacio writes: For those who are wanting to work on their own device (it's soooo pretty to
see all those banners and shields) there are 342680 (new version!) pages of traceable heraldry at
the Æthelmearc College of Heralds website. [NOTE: PDF file; requires Acrobat Reader or equivalent.]
Each blazon has a couple of pages with a wide range of sizes for you to use,
rather than having to scale your pictures up and down by hand. The best
thing is that all the pictures come from approved devices so it is mauch
easy to get your device submission approved.
Photo Gallery
The latest addition to the site is the photo gallery. If you have any photos you'd like to add, please contact the
Hierophant. And if there are photos of you that you don't want on the site, let him know that too and he'll take them down.
We're still missing a lot of the attribution and copyright details for the existing photos. If you're the photographer or
you own the rights to any of these photos, please get in touch to confirm their status.
