September Baronial Report, part 4 – End of our term announcement

Posted on September 12, 2016 By Muin maqq Minain

It is, officially, time for us to announce our intentions with regards to serving as Baron and Baroness, given we’re in our 4th year and are 9 months from the end of our default term. We would be lying if we said it was an easy decision, and we would love to do two more years, especially with all of the people we’ve met, people and projects we’ve supported and especially all who have served alongside us either as Officers, Champions or especially retinue over the years. Personal projects, both within and outside of the SCA are looking very appealing, so we hope to be spending more time on those endeavors in the future. To that end, we are stepping aside next year so that others will be able to take up the role of representing the Barony to the Crown and likewise, the Crown to the Barony, as needed.

We will continue championing the service and skills of all, within the Barony and without, and will have a new newcomer household that will benefit from the expertise and efforts of many from the Region. More to come on that as it shapes up, but there’s a lot of ideas forming – primarily from those new to the SCA. who are giving great insight into what would be useful to them – and we hope to coordinate a number of efforts relating to newcomers, including demos, and help people craft their own experience with whatever support is needed as they join the Society 🙂

While there is no requirement to let us know of your intention to run for the position, if you would like to do so, we want to offer insight and advice into the role. Whether you’d like to see what goes into planning Court, having a retinue, attending events in general, writing notes, reports and recommendations. etc., we’re available and interested in showing what goes on behind the scenes. Any questions we might answer, feel free to ask! We look forward to seeing who is interested and helping to facilitate “Meet the Candidates” gatherings throughout the Barony. For anyone considering the role, we thank you ahead of time for wanting to serve in this way! More to come on the technicalities of the process as this gets underway.
