A FEW NOTES FROM THE B&B :
Thank you to each member of our Baronial Family who attended the WorldCon Demo or Muse's Masque this past weekend, and a special thank you to all those who stepped up and helped at any of those events! We are so very grateful to you, and for you, for representing our Barony so well!
Letters of Intent for October Crown are currently being accepted! For more information, and the link to submit your letter, please see this post by our Kingdom Seneschal, Sir Philip! https://www.facebook.com/.../permalink/10175233953415109
The SCA Board of Directors has invited kingdoms and principalities to submit proposals for future experiments exploring alternative Crown Tournament formats, with no new experiments beginning before April 2027. As part of that process, the Board is seeking to better understand the level of interest across the Society in alternative methods of determining the Crown and Heirs. To help inform that decision, the populace of Caid is being asked to share their thoughts! Please see the post linked below to learn more, and complete a short survey!
https://www.facebook.com/.../permalink/10175238692250109
This survey will be used to gauge the kingdom’s level of interest with using a format other than rattan as a means of selecting the Crowns of Caid.
September's Fun Or Friday has been rescheduled for the 3rd Friday of the Month, September 18, as many of our populace will be either attending Highland War or the Officer Skills Development Symposium on the first weekend of the month.
