While the list of Midrealm team members is not known to this reporter, it is believed that Dorigen of Lewes is included in their number, as he is a former resident of the Mid and holds their archery award of the Dragon’s Barb.
The Archery Champions Competition takes place on Thursday, starting about 9am and running for most of the day.

Edgithe Hlammandi reporting:
On Saturday, August 5th, 2017, I will be hosting A Walk Among the
Pines at the Cathedral of the Pines in Rindge, NH (10 Hale Hill Rd.,
Rindge NH). We’ll be open from 10am to 5pm, and it looks to be a
beautiful and fun filled day!
Current presentations include examples of needlework, illuminated
pages and scrolls, an introductory look at Period Firearms, basic
heraldry for the SCA, period embroidery and weaving, a fencing
demonstration, a heavy fighting demo, a display of inkle loom and
lucet work, medieval archery, bowyery, and fletching, and drop spindle
weaving, along with a lot of fun, music, and camaraderie! 🙂 We’ll be
sharing a pot luck feast together, so please bring a dish to share and
a card with the ingredients (we have several people with life
threatening allergies attending).
I hope you will join us in introducing the SCA and our Society to the public!

≈ Comments Off on A Note from the Polling Clerks
The following is a message from Duchess Avelina Keyes, with regard to the recent changes to the way that polls are sent out to members of the East Kingdom Polling Orders.
Hey folks,
A few notes on the polling process. Here in the East, the polling job is split between two people, Duchess Katherine Stanhope and me.
I handle the software side of the polls. I maintain the awards recommendation form and I put together the polls that the Royalty want.
Duchess Katherine handles distribution.
Each Order has *two* lists. One, the “Discussion list” is for Companions of the Order to discuss candidates and other issues pertinent to the Order. The second is the polling distribution list. That is where Duchess Katherine sends the polls. It is possible to sign up for one and not the other. To sign up for those lists, please visit this link:

Now, for the polls themselves. Continue reading
