Posted on October 8, 2024 By Ellyn Grene
Following are the monthly officer reports that have been submitted prior to the Bhakail monthly business meeting of October 8, 2024.
Coronet’s Report – Baron Muin maqq Minain
Greetings the Peoples of the Barony, Our neighbors and Our Allies…and THAT guy…;
As the Barony has, as yet, failed to spontaneously combust in the heat of the Unreasonable Summer Months in this Ominous Year of the Discontent Wombat, THe Barony of Bhakail has surpassed all expectations!
HUZZAH!
I know you could all do it, and highly recommend pats on the backs, all around. Bask in your distinctly NON-pyrrhic victory.
Regardless of all else, as We meander into the delightful time of the year known as Autumn, please take note of the activities within the Barony and without that are still on offer for those willing to risk distinctly non sweat inducing weather. We also are hoping to see as many of you all at upcoming events both within AND without the bounds of Bhakail!
Yule is coming up soon… very soon, in fact. It will be here more quickly than you anticipate… GODS HELP US ALL, IT’S JUST AROUND THE CORNER!
So, with that in mind, have fun and be ready for what the turning of the year has in store for us all!
Remember:
Hydration.
Do not overexert.
Do not overextend!
What you do is always more important than what someone else is doing, don’t be that guy.
Remember the Olio!
Help others when you see they need it.
In the course of the year to come, be calm, and patient.
With yourself AND others.
Looking forward to seeing all the happy faces at Yule 53: The Yulening!
Be well;
Muin,
Baron of Bhakail (For a little longer)
Archery Marshal – Lady Ellyn Grene
Weekly practices will continue to be held on Sundays until the weather forces us to suspend for the winter. We have a good assortment of loaner gear available, so if you want to give archery a try, come to a practice!

Chatelaine – Lady Chana Freidl the Maker
We had a large group of newcomers at Champions and Commons, and it was great to see the Barony welcoming them with open arms. Our Gold Key Rummage sale raised $291, a record for us! I hope to use that money to make some pants and tunics to round out our collection. I have also been talking to other local chatelaines about having a Gold Key exchange to help other groups get garb in sizes they are lacking.
The next big event for me as Chatelaine is PAX Unplugged, which is the first weekend of December. If you’ll be going to PAX and want to spend time teaching people medieval board games, please let me know! Also, I’m looking to decorate the space better this year – if anyone has banner stands I could borrow for that weekend, I would love to have them!
