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:

Speaking Forsoothly for Newcomers by THL Justinian Clarus, Ealdormere
How To Behave (articles) from Stefan's Florilegium (which is always worth a good long look)
Code Words: Speaking Forsoothly by Aoife, on the SCA Today news site. Contains more 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.

Check out the list of officers' blogs here.

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 342 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.
