September 2024 Officer Reports
Following are the monthly officer reports that have been submitted prior to the Bhakail monthly business meeting of September 10, 2024.
Coronet’s Report – Baron Muin maqq Minain
Hello, Peoples of Bhakail;
While I am still away, taking care of Mundane Business; Please be aware that the Polling has begun to roll out, and needs to be completed and returned ASAP.
Our Seneschal has worked diligently to make this happen, so let us all come together and get this done.
If completed with alacrity, thoroughness, and with luck, We may be able to step down at Yule, and allow the next Baronage to commence.
As ever, Be well;
Muin, Baron of Bhakail
Rapier Marshal – Don Melchior Kriebel
Bhakail Rapier Practice was suspended during Pennsic, but was resumed shortly thereafter. We continue to hold practice at the Reform Lutheran Church in Media, PA. Attendance has been moderate for July and August.
I was unable to attend Pennsic this year but understand Bhakail and the region was well represented on the battlefield as well as the fencing events. The Tadcaster Arcade was a great success and had many popular prizes to win.
Archery Marshal – Lady Ellyn Grene
The Bhakail baronial championship competitions for thrown weapons and archery will be held Sunday, September 15. Thrown Weapons at 11am, archery at 1:30pm. I’m looking forward to what will certainly be fun competitions designed by the current champions, Mikael and Dragmall!
Archery practices will continue to be held on Sundays at 1:30pm into the fall for as long as the weather cooperates.

I’m currently working on the September issue of the Bhakail newsletter, the Salamander! Please contact me at chronicler@bhakail.eastkingdom.org if you have any content to contribute!
Minister of Arts & Sciences – Honorable Lady Scolastica Capellaria
Over the summer, many Bhakailis went to Pennsic, learned about water flotation devices and the importance of holding down tents in the wind. Much art was made including hats, leatherwork and delicious food. There was music, laughter, and a wonderful Play.

Chatelaine – Lady Chana Freidl the Maker
We’ve had a couple new contacts recently and I’ve spent time at a couple local Renaissance Faires talking to people who have been interested in learning more about the SCA. Hopefully these people will come to either a social or Commons! I still plan to have a rummage sale at Commons, with the proceeds going towards new loaner garb and/or feast gear. Now that we’re on the other side of Pennsic, my planning brain has turned towards PAX Unplugged. Spending time at the Buckland Cross demo space at the new Bucks County Ren Faire has given me a few good ideas to implement. If you would like to help out at PAX, please let me know! Tickets are currently on sale (I cannot guarantee any free passes).
Pennsic report – Hopefully we’ve all been able to get past the trauma caused by our torrential flooding in camp on War Week Tuesday. Bhakail really came together in a way I’ve never seen to help those who flooded. Thank you to everyone for all of your hard work!
