≈ Comments Off on BOD- President’s Notes
The President’s Office of the SCA has started publishing meeting notes after quarterly reports. While the minutes will still be approved and published 3-6 months after each meeting, these notes allow SCA participants to more quickly find out some of what has been discussed at each meeting.
From the President’s Page:
“The President of the SCA will publish a report within thirty days following each Board meeting. These reports will contain the publishable summary and commendation sections from each Society Officer’s report, publishable summaries of any Board Committee presentation, and Requests for Commentary. Please send suggestions and/or observations to president@sca.org.
These reports do not replace or represent the minutes of the meetings. Minutes from past meetings can be viewed on the SCA Membership website. Please keep in mind that minutes are not made available until after the Board approves them, usually at the next quarterly meeting.”
The Notes can be found here:

≈ Comments Off on Unofficial Court Report: Fall Crown Tournament 2017
Their Majesties, Tsar Ivan and Tsaritsa Matilde, rulers of the East, did determine they needed heirs. Thus it was on the 4th day of November, AS LII, they ventured to their Barony of Bergental, and held their Crown Tournament.
The entrants presented themselves to their Tsar and Tsaritsa. Then, they received words from the Kingdom Marshal of Armored Combat, and the rules of the list from the Troubadour Herald. Their Majesties did say some words, and opened a court.

≈ Comments Off on Event Announcement: Artifacts of A Life

Another Pennsic War has come and gone, and now it’s time for the artisans of the East to focus on just one thing: entries for Artifacts of a Life!
Artifacts of a Life III will be held in the Barony Beyond the Mountain (New Britain, CT) on September 30, 2017. Artifacts is a different sort of arts competition: entries must be “themed” – the theme is things that would have been used/owned by a single individual sometime in period. Possibly they are the items that would have been left in a will, or even just the day to day paraphernalia of life. They do not have to be items owned by your persona, but they do have to be linked to one person in one time/place.
There are three categories: Typical, Elite, and Village. The Typical category must include 3 to 5 items from a single culture and time. The Elite category will include 6 to 9 items from a single culture and time. And for the communally ambitious, the Village category will allow you to work with others in a team to collaboratively create 6 to 9 items. To flog the horse, all of the items in an entry must be placed within a uniform time and culture.
And prizes! Did we mention the lovely prizes? As at the first two events, we will be bestowing hand-made wooden chests stuffed with materials to make the fingers of even hardened artisans twitch with avarice.
The event announcement is here. The event website, with information about the rules, and pre-registration is here. Please watch both spaces for updated information, as details about the event itself are always changing.
Entrants
PLEASE NOTE: Entry in the competition REQUIRES pre-registration with Mistress Elizabeth Vynehorn (vynehorn (at) gmail.com) by September 23, 2017. Please see the contest rules at https://sca-artifactschallenge.blogspot.com/p/contest-rules.html for more information.
If you have not specifically notified her of your intention to compete, we will not be able to accept your entry. This is for the benefit of the contestants. Knowing at least roughly what you plan to enter allows us to recruit the best possible judges to give you the best possible feedback. Without pre-registration we will not have sufficient/appropriate judges.
Judges Needed
If you are available and interested in judging for Artifacts, please let us know. Recruiting judges is by far the most difficult aspect of the event, and if you can assist we would be most grateful. Please contact Mistress Elizabeth or Baron Jehan du Lac via the website or event announcement.
As a thank you to those who give of their time to judge, a hearty and delicious dayboard will be provided to judges at no cost.
