Champs draws near...and another answers the call!

Champions are still declaring and we are rushing to keep up! So without further delay we present our next hopeful, Maeve Ni Siurtain. Please hear her words and wish her luck...

"I Maeve Ni Siurtain, rider of many steeds, do declare my intent and cast the gauntlet down to compete to be your champion.. While the steed I will ride is not known at this time, I feel my skills will prove that I can achieve partnership with any equine".

Champion hopeful for thrown weapons has declared!

Please welcome our next Champion Hopefully! Master Augusto Giuseppe da San Donato has declared his intent to serve as the Baronial thrown weapons champion.

So far we have declarations for Fencing, A&S, Archery, Thrown, Heavy, and Equestrian.

We are still looking for people more people to declare and we really need a person for Bardic.

Please join us in congratulating the next Champion hopeful (and our first Equestrian to declare) Lord Rhiannon Elandris of Glyndrvdwy! Please read the fine words of her horse Fionnbhar below (he has great scribal skills).

Her Excellency and I are very excited to not only create a champion position for the Equestrians, but that we are also privileged to have equestrian activities at this years champs.

Baronial Camping for the SCA 50th

After making enquiries among the baronial populace His Excellency and I have decided that interest in camping for the SCA 50 Year Event is not high enough that the Barony warrented a separate camping area at the event.

However there is going to be a Kingdom Campsite that members of the kingdom will be more then welcome at if there are people in the barony that would like to stay on site. If anyone needs information on how to do so you can Register Here, or contact Us for help.

Here are some other links with a good amount of information for the event:

New Baronial Champion positions created!

Youth Champion:

Her Excellency and I are please to announce the creation of a a Baronial youth champion position. We do not plan to pick a youth champion for this this year’s champs as there might not be enough time to search out and choose a youth champion so quickly. However we think it is an area that could use more representation. The plan is that there will be a single youth champion position for each year and any youth between the age of participation (in their activity) and 17 is eligible. The youth champion position would be multipurpose/generic and a youth is eligible for any SCA based activity including service. As the level of youth activity is often in flux it is not expected this award will be handed out each year. It can be handed out when the time is right. Regalia has not yet been decided on. 

Equestrian Champion: 

Along the same lines, Her Excellency and I also plan to create an Equestrian champion position. We plan to create this position in time for this year’s champs since we are able to have equestrian activities. We feel that even though the equestrians cannot always feature activities at our local events they are no less dedicated than the participants of our other activities. We feel it is time they are recognized as such. The creation of and the type of regalia to be given is also pending. 

Important Ice Dragon Announcement (scrolls)!

Pardon us for taking so long to address this. Sadly due to scheduling issues several Baronial scrolls went out unsigned at Ice Dragon this year. This was not an error on the part of our staff. Her Excellency and I decided we would rather have the scrolls given to the recipients "in progress" than not at all. It is our goal to sign these scrolls as soon as possible. If you received an unsigned scroll and would like it signed, we would like to take care of it for you as soon as possible. Please contact us so we can arrange a time to meet with you and take care of it. Yours in service and pens at the ready!
