Baronial Officer Reports for May
Coronets
After the very busy year we have had so far, we have had a quiet time since our last Baronial meeting. We attended the Canton and city social, and a few workshops, but no events. It is good to see so many activities taking place during the week, and we are excited to see them continue and grow in the coming year.

Chronicler
Reports are now regularly being posted to the Bhakail website. Have other content you would like to appear there? Talk to the appropriate officer.
I now finally have the necessary components to start the fancy version of the Salamander, so stay tuned for that as well.
I am still seeking a deputy Chronicler, mostly in case of emergencies when I cannot make meetings. Thanks!

This Past Tuesday we held a Tournament to decide the Shire of Hartshorn Dale’s Heavy Weapons Champion
I think the event went very well.
Baron Simon Montgomery was the overall winner and the New (and first) Shire Champion
Barri of Angelsea won as the lady’s chivalry champion.
I would Like to Thanks Lady Judith and all other two lady’s that helped with the MoL (sorry I do not know their names)
We continue to have practices every Tuesday at stage one, and turn out seems to be getting better every week.
we have a few new heavy fighters in the Philly area that I am working on getting armored up and ready to fight.

Greetings to the Barony
On May 3rd there was a Tournament held our Canton to determine a Champion for the Shire of Hartshorndale. Mistress Gisela and I served as MOL for the Tourney.
I am also pleased to announce we have a MOL in training. Lady Eleanora has had her first experience at the MOL table and will continue to train with us until she is ready to be warranted. I am excited to have the additional set of hands and eyes at the MOL table.

Canton
A&S glows bright in the Canton tonight
So many arts to be seen
A kingdom of crafty fun,
And we love our crafty queen.
Muin is howling like this swirling storm outside
Couldn’t keep it in, Gods knows he tried!
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
A new Exchequer, elected to always be
Michelle, it’s real, reports to show
Well, now they know!
Icorndall, Icorndall
Canton hold us back anymore
Icorndall, Icorndall
Craft away and gild the door!
We don’t care
What they’re going to say
Let the East rage on,
The Spring never bothered me anyway!
It’s funny how some distance
Make the Mongols all look small
And the ponies they rode in on
They can’t get to us at all!
It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for us we’re free!
Icorndall, Icorndall
I am one with the beads and fire
Icorndall, Icorndall
And cheese we always fry!
Here we stand
And here we’ll stay
Let the Canton rage on!
Our power flurries through the air onto the ground
We embroidered spirals in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
We’re never going back,
Youth Fighting with Flat snaps!
Icorndall, Icorndall
And we’ll rise like the break of dawn
Icorndall, Icorndall
That perfect Squirrel is gone!
Here we stand
The Light of the East!
Let the bacon fry on,
The cold never kept us from a feast!

“A Knight in the Garden aka Knight School” demo
The Shire of Hartshorn-dale and the Barony of Bhakail have been asked by the beautiful historic site, The Highlands Mansion and Gardens http://highlandshistorical.org in Fort Washington, PA, to present a family-friendly afternoon of teaching/demonstrating martial arts and arts which a knight or nobleperson would learn.
We’re hoping to shortly finalize the list of SCA participants and activities, so if you are available and interested, please let me know. This demo will be on Sunday, June 12th, noon to 4 p.m. (This is the weekend after Artisans Village and the Sunday of Southern Region War Camp weekend.)
This will be a fun afternoon in a lovely site, so if you are available to help with any of the activities, please let me know!
