The following is a message from Mistress Fia Kareman, regarding recent questions about the dates of A Market Day at Birka in 2020.

It’s only mid-April, but the Officers and People of Stonemarche, as well as the hotel, have already started getting asked about the dates for Birka 2020.

So to quell any rumors, please know that the dates for Birka are NOT being announced yet since NH has the “first in the nation” primary next Jan/Feb, and the date is not finalized yet.

Until it is, we can’t finalize the dates with the hotel. (The primary brings in a LOT more people and money than we do.) Once we have final dates, we will announce them on Facebook, via the EK email list, and put it on the website.

Additionally, if you would like to receive an email, please email me at autocrat@birka.org and I will put you on a list to receive a personal email when the dates are announced.

Once the dates are final, we’ll also be putting it on the EK Calendar and creating a Facebook event page.

Please also be aware that we are working with the hotel to set up the room block and will announce the date the block opens before it does so everyone has the same chance to get a room. 🙂

If you want to reserve a room before the room block opens, you may do so, but it’s at their regular (much higher) rates. Until then, feel free to watch the website, www.birka.org, and send any questions you have to me and we’ll get them answered.

A Request from the Keeper of the East Kingdom Event Calendar

A message from Joel of Vestfell, East Kingdom Calendar Deputy Webminister:

PLEASE, if your event is not showing up on the Calendar online, PLEASE DO NOT WAIT until the last week before your event is scheduled to occur to bring this up. There are a variety of reasons why your event may not be showing up, none of which will be fixed by waiting.

badge WebministerFirst, check with your local Seneschal to see if they have not approved the posting for a reason. Take a look at this East Kingdom Gazette article for why and how they are part of the process.

Second, send an email to eventform-help (at) eastkingdom.org and ask us to get involved.

Since we instituted the Seneschal approval process back in February 2015, *every single time* an event has not appeared online, it has been related to that process.

Some of you have noticed that occasionally an event will not show up online and WILL show up in the Pikestaff. We have devised a fix for that and moving forward events that are not correctly approved will no longer appear in the Pikestaff. This not only risks your turnout for your event, but it risks loss of “official” status of your event, and therefore risks coverage under SCA Insurance, invalidates any court business, etc. PLEASE bring problems to our attention within a week of POSTING your event, rather than within a week of the event itself.
