Additional Officer Reports
Coronet’s Report – Baron Muin maqq Minain
Greetings the Peoples of the Barony, Our neighbors and Our Allies;
Having just attended Our neighbor, Iron Bog’s Baronial Investiture this last weekend, I was not only pleased to see many Bhakailiis in attendance, but many Bhakailiis participating in the various Championship activities.
We fondly welcome Our Cousins, the Newest Iron Bog Coronets to the neighborhood!
On a related note, I was supremely proud to be able to gift Our new neighbors a basket of handmade Largess from the People of Our Barony. And thankyou to Lady Scolastica for spearheading this initiative.
As mentioned before, the Baronry is still currently in need of more scroll holders, if anyone either has spares lying about, or is willing to construct them, We would appreciate these efforts greatly.
I would also like to note the various OTHER Largess Projects that are on Our Horizons this year, anyone interested in participating, please (again…) see Lady Scolastica, or Myself!
Regardless of all else, We are hoping to see as many of you all at upcoming events both within and without the bounds of Bhakail!
In closing: Read these words of High Poetry and Song by those Grand Forbears of August Lineage of the Magnificent Peoples of the former lands of Ibros, with words by their most honored and noteworthy of Grapesmugglers, sometimes known simply as Pedro Pietro Perro Paco Pons de Leon. Let these words whisk you away to a time e’er now long gone. Let its inspiration give your soul wings, and add extra dimensions to thine own setupons!
estoy navegando lejos
Establecer un curso abierto para el mar virgen
Porque tengo que ser libre
Libre para enfrentar la vida que está delante de mí
A bordo, soy el capitán
Así que sube a bordo
Buscaremos el mañana
en cada orilla
Y lo intentaré, oh Señor, lo intentaré
Llevar
miro al mar
Los reflejos en las olas encienden mi memoria
Algunos felices, algunos tristes
Pienso en los amigos de la infancia y los sueños que tuvimos
Vivimos felices para siempre
Así va la historia
Pero de alguna manera nos perdimos
En la olla de oro
Pero haremos lo mejor que podamos
Llevar
Una reunión de ángeles
Apareció sobre mi cabeza
Me cantaron este canto de esperanza
Y esto es lo que dijeron, dijeron
Ven a navegar, ven a navegar, ven a navegar conmigo, muchachos
Ven a navegar, ven a navegar, ven a navegar conmigo
Ven a navegar, ven a navegar, ven a navegar conmigo, bebé
Ven a navegar, ven a navegar, ven a navegar conmigo
Pensé que eran ángeles.
pero para mi sorpresa
Subimos a bordo de su nave estelar
Nos dirigimos a los cielos, cantando
Ven a navegar, ven a navegar, ven a navegar conmigo, muchachos
Ven a navegar, ven a navegar, ven a navegar conmigo
Ven a navegar, ven a navegar, ven a navegar conmigo
Ven a navegar, ven a navegar, ven a navegar conmigo
Ven a navegar, ven a navegar, ven a navegar conmigo
Ven a navegar, ven a navegar
Be well,
And Peace be upon you in these Slowly Enlightening Times;
Muin,
Baron of Bhakail
Seneschal’s Report – Máistir Mael Eoin mac Echuidh
Greetings!
We’ve got events being planned, other local events coming up and Pennsic right around the corner… It’s a good time to remind everyone that we’ll skip August’s business meeting since many will be out at Pennsic War, but remember there’ll likely be some local activities continuing all the same, so keep an eye out for those.
Society is still having issues with membership information, so please log into the member portal at http://sca.org/ and check all of your information. Your address might be out of date, your membership expiration might be wrong, if you have a family membership, there may be issues with other family members under the main account… The number of issues we’re seeing are many, and the repercussions can be varied. Better to check before it’s an issue (like arriving at Pennsic, stepping up into an office or getting a ballot from Kingdom for anything).
I hope the rest of the summer lines up for events and activities for us all and hopefully we don’t have to worry about the air quality or heat any more than we already have.
Social Media Deputy – Magister Rowen Cloteworthy
This should be my last report as Social Media Deputy. Thanks so much for the opportunity to hold this office! 🙂 We had 5 newcomers join the FB page and all were directed to Lady Chana as Chatelaine. Important information is still flowing across our page. Sunday with the Scribes posts, information about our own Baronial Signet’s scriptorium, info about Pennsic, local events, thanks from our Baron for largess for Iron Bog, and more.
Rapier Marshal – Don Melchior Kriebel
Rapier practice continues to be on hold until a suitable location for practice can be found.
Bailiwick of Ivyeinrust – Emery de Champagne
Unto the glorious Barony of Bhakail, I bid you howdy.
Although our trade routes are quite literally in flames, the lone Bailiwick of the Known World remained a stalwart guardian of its values, and had a business meeting on Monday June 12th. We have the following news to report:
In spite of the alleged (of which shall remain unsaid), the Bailiwick humbly invites any interested gentle to join us for lunch at 1pm on Tuesday June 20th, location to be determined.
While we regret to inform everyone that our cow tossing competition has been postponed indefinitely, we are intent on hosting several workshops focusing on illumination, calligraphy, and cooking geared towards recruiting naive and unfortuna new members.
To those who keep sending us gifts of livestock, we appreciate your generosity, however we must discourage future gifts of this sort, as we are newly abundant in untossed cows.
Our next meeting shall be on July 10th at 7pm in the Æther (aka Zoom), assuming we do not spontaneously combust.
Bon courage et bon nuit,
Emery.
