Monthly Bash

2 Mar 2008 - 2:00pm
2 Mar 2008 - 6:00pm

John Gardiner Oval - upper field

The March Monthly Bash will be on this Sunday.

However, the local cricket club need to have their Final for the cricket
season. They are fully aware that we have the permanent booking for
every Sunday but have asked us if they can use the oval for this time
only.

I have agreed to this. We will hold our bash on the upper oval instead.
For those unfamiliar with this, there is a smaller field up behind the
Storage Container where we can carry out all of our usual activities.

Parking will also be tight as the cricket folk will no doubt use the
spaces too. I suggest folk try parking in Toronga Road. There is a
carpark in that side that may be open for car parking too.

Introduction to persona and documentation

Introduction to persona and documentation handout

Names
When you begin playing in the SCA, often people have two names. One is their everyday name, and the other is one that they use at events. You can even register your name with the College of Heralds so that nobody else in the SCA can register an identical name.
Often, choosing a name is the first step to developing a persona. It provides a skeleton to which you can flesh out with tidbits of information, such as what era, place, nationality or even religion your persona experiences.

2008 Arts and Sciences in Stormhold

The overriding theme in Stormholds' A&S activities and competitions will be one of persona development. Inspired by other competitions around the known world, the aim is to explore what your persona may have known about, experienced, or done in your chosen time period.

A&S meetings will still be held once a month, and will act as an introduction to topics that can be further discussed or worked upon at Kensington Hall, and there is a chance to show your new skills with a competition held at Monthly Bash. A lot of these competitions are documentation-based, as they deal with persona development.

The Cairnfell Punitive Expedition

Background
In the summer of A.S. XL1 the Cairnfell Surveying Expeditions of the Baronies of Innilgard and Stormhold set forth. The aim was to determine whether the region fell under the domain of his Excellency Baron Innilgard or his Excellency Baron Stormhold.

In the course of their endeavors they were set upon by bandits and wild men of this remote region of the realm. After a series of skirmishes in which the forces of the two Barons acquitted themselves with a degree of competence, they were met by combined forces of bandits and local hill men.
