Youth Fundraiser at Horse and Falcon, Donations for Lilies War

Posted by

First, thank you to everyone who participated in the Youth Fundraiser at Horse and Falcon. Monies were raised and will be used for Youth and Teen activities!

Second for those who promised to help or provide supplies for Lilies Youth and Teen activities– thank you. We cannot provide meaningful activities without your support!

Third, for those who would like to contribute and are unsure how to help, here are some suggestions:

  • Packages of cookies.
  • Sturdy shoe boxes or photo boxes.
  • Packages of hot dogs, bags of chips, 2 liter bottles of pop, containers of Gatorade, or packages of glow sticks.

If you could purchase and donate one or two of these items and let us know prior to Lilies that it will be there then we can spend the money raised on other supplies. Drop your donations off at the Youth Tent, and please include a little note.

Please understand that all gestures of support are appreciated, and with everyone helping it does not burden any one person.

Thank you on behalf of the youth and teens!

We had a glorious weekend of Cut & Thrust at Horse and Falcon, with 10 new fighters authorizing and tournaments both days. The tournament on Saturday was won by Ben of Forgotten Sea, and the tournament on Sunday was won by HE Donald McDonald.

I would like to thank everyone who helped set up, marshal, run the list, provide water, etc. If I miss anyone it is not because you were not appreciated.

THL Kitsu no Taro
Lady Helena of Tor

And of course many thanks to the Barony of Forgotten Sea for hosting this event, and to all those who came out to play with us.

In service to Crown, Kingdom, and Populace,

From Laurel Staff: Silent Heraldry Deputy chosen

Posted by

Posted on Facebook:

The Laurel, Wreath, and Pelican Sovereigns of Arms, in combination with Clarion Herald, have reviewed the applications for the recently created position, Silent Herald Deputy. We received applications from several highly qualified candidates, making this a difficult decision.

We would like to thank all those who applied – though we could only choose one candidate, we are pleased to see such a strong pool of heralds dedicated to furthering silent heraldry in the SCA. After careful consideration, we have chosen Nesscia inghean Chearnaigh to take on this job.

We will be working with Nesscia to get her established in this role, and we know she will be asking for help from silent heralds around the known world to work on integrating silent heraldry to become more of a part of the SCA. Please welcome her in this (very) new office.

Greetings Calontir,
Just a reminder of the A and S competition at Horse and Falcon’s this weekend. Can’t wait to see the entries.

Camping season, and Liliies War, is fast approaching.
To celebrate authenticity in our campsites, at Horse and Falcon, the Barony of Forgotten Sea will sponsor an Arts and Science competition with the theme of “Period” Encampment. Any item used to increase the Medieval authenticity of your encampment is eligible for the competition. This could include “period” tents, furniture, lighting, cooking facilities, etc. Big or small, if the items improves the “period” nature of your encampment, please enter it.

Two prizes will be awarded – one for populace vote and one for Judges Choice.

Documentation is required, and should include a simple explanation of what the item is and how it is used in your encampment. Documentation should also include the time period and region your item is from.

YIS,

Lady Cecilia de Gatisbury
Barony of Forgotten Sea Minister of Arts and Sciences
