Update from the Kingdom Webministry – dateline April 1

April 1, 2018 by East Kingdom Gazette

Greetings once again from the Webministry of the East Kingdom! A piece of advice that was given to me during my recent Vigil was that when you are wrong, own it. Only a week ago I said that the migration of the Kingdom’s email to Google was complete and that everything had gone well. Apparently …

Eastern Results from the January 2018 LOAR

March 30, 2018 by East Kingdom Gazette

EASTERN RESULTS FROM THE JANUARY 2018 LoAR

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 January 2018 Wreath and Pelican meetings.   (more…)

Work Together with Your Officers

March 26, 2018 by East Kingdom Gazette

badge SeneschalThe following message is from Mistress Katherine Barr, East Kingdom Seneschal, and Sandi Donner, SCA Regional VP of Operations.

Greetings to the Kingdom.

I would like to discuss officer relations within the East Kingdom.

The Kingdom Officers are responsible for protecting the Kingdom, assisting the royalty, and are also here to help you, the Local Officers.  However, this is a two-way street and must have the Local Officers’ assistance as well.  In no way should it be viewed as a Kingdom Officer versus Local Officer venue.  We need to work together.

So, how do we do this better?  Here are a few guidelines. (more…)

Completion of the East’s Migration to Google

March 24, 2018 by East Kingdom Gazette

badge WebministerGreetings unto the Populace from the Webministry of the East Kingdom!

I am pleased to report that the last cleanup steps of the migration of our email services to Google are done, the project is complete.

Obviously, this has been a massive undertaking, and while I have been the primary public face and the project manager, many other people have been involved to varying degrees. Without all of the assistance (and assistants!) this would not have gone as well as it did. By my best estimate, this undertaking was approximately 1.25 man-years of effort, a huge portion of it quite skilled work done by actual IT professionals. Early on in the process I worked up what my own employer would have quoted as a price for this, and it came to approximately a half a million dollars. (more…)

Information About The Upcoming Coronation

March 24, 2018 by East Kingdom Gazette

En français

Greetings unto the East!

The Shire of Quintavia is honored to be hosting the Coronation of Brennan III and Caoilfhionn III on April 7, 2018. As that day quickly approaches, we would like to bring some things to your attention before you join us.

1) Pre-registration is available via PayPal or physical mail. PayPal will be available until March 28. All mailed pre-registrations must be postmarked April 1 or earlier. Tir Marans may pay the pre-reg rate at the door, provided they have submitted the rest of the needed information ahead of time. Please visit the website for further information.

2) The site has a hard out time of 6 pm overall, but 5:30 from the sanctuary. That means we need to be cleaned up from the sanctuary area by 5:30. If you are able to help with that for a few minutes, many hands will make light work. Lord Andreiko Eferiev and Lady Peronelle de Croy will be leading the cleanup and decor teams, respectively.

3) In the light of the Parkland tragedy, the church has updated their weapons policy to a ban. As such, we ask that you please leave anything larger than an eating knife at home. This includes rapiers, spears, halberds, belt knives with blades larger than six inches, arrows, and trebuchets. (We have received permission for bows without arrows and for the Sword of State.)
