A missive from Her Grace:

Hello everyone!

Now that we are past Pennsic, its time to think about fall events and that means its time for the Roses Tournament! This year we splitting the activities into two events to ensure that the Roses are able to support all of their Champions. Archery and Thrown Weapons will be at Ducal Challenge, September 8th (https://www.facebook.com/events/658464291189984/) and the fencing and heavy weapons will be held the next weekend at Falling Leaves (https://www.facebook.com/events/206471643353839/)

Unfortunately we couldn’t accommodate the arts& sciences portion at either event but we were able to add thrown weapons! Believe it or not, there are ALWAYS spots open on many of the Roses’ teams. If you have an interest in participating, please reach out to a Rose! Or just show up to either or both events, we can most certainly find you a home! If you would like to participate and aren’t FB friends with any Roses, please reach out to me and I will help connect you. We are also looking for heralds, marshals and other support staff so please come volunteer to help out. Both of these events are fantastic events and we are very grateful to these marvelous groups for hosting this year!

In Service,
Dutchess Ethel Dreda

At the East Kingdom 50 Year Order of High Merit meeting, Their
Highnesses encouraged the Orders to organize and hold their own Order
meetings.

To that end, I did a survey of best times on the Silver Crescent
Discussion List and came up with the time of Sunday, August 5, 2018,
from 1 pm to 2 pm at the meeting tent in East Kingdom Royal for an
Order of the Silver Crescent Meeting.

Agenda:
1. A welcome for new Order members.
2. Hopefully Their Highnesses will have Their first poll issued before
then so we can discuss the candidates; if not, we’ll skip this part
until the next meeting which someone else will arrange.
3. Suggestions of potential pollees and individual queries about
dependents (if any).
4. General Discussion, including any standards, reminders, announcements, etc.

There are whole lot of Companions of this Order and I’m hoping I get a
chance to meet many of you I don’t already know at this time.

Thank you.
Mari Clock, Caer Adamant

The Society College of Arms runs on monthly cycles and letters. Each month, the College processes name and armory submissions from all of the Kingdoms. Final decisions on submissions are made at the monthly meetings of the Pelican Queen of Arms (names) and the Wreath King of Arms (armory). Pelican and Wreath then write up their decisions in a Letter of Acceptances and Return (LoAR). After review and proofreading, LoARs generally are released two months after the meeting where the decisions are made.

An “acceptance” indicates that the item(s) listed are now registered with the Society. A “return” indicates that the item is returned to the submitter for additional work. Most items are registered without comments. Sometimes, the LoAR will address specific issues about the name or armory or will praise the submitter/herald on putting together a very nice historically accurate item.

The following results are from the April 2018 Wreath and Pelican meetings. Continue reading →
