Greetings!

Here we are, coming to Pennsic 40 - it sure has changed a lot over the years!

One of the things that has gotten more complex is the inspection of
armor and weaponry at Marshals point. That is the reason why I am
writing this short letter to inform folks of the opportunity to help
make this large task much easier.

One of the areas in which you can be helpful is by acting as a SCRIBE
- Someone to handle paperwork at Marshals point. Every fighter that
comes to the field is inspected and logged in. It's a big job, and the
dedicated Marshals who have done this for years are a great bunch of
people, but they could use your help.

Scribes are particularly helpful at Combat Archery and Siege where
each individual bow or engine and each piece of ammunition has to be
inspected. While the Marshal can get on to the job of inspection, you
can be helping them in this large task by handling paperwork for the
Marshal. This is not a dull job because food and drinks are often
supplied, and we do take breaks for ice cream when we can.

A Scribe does not do inspections - the Marshals do that, but scribes
speed up the processing of every combatant on the field. The most
pressing times for volunteers is at the end of the first week of the
war and the middle weekend of the war where we inspect everyone before
battles begin.

Any person who wants to learn more about Combat Archery or Siege can
come and help. Any Marshal or MIT who wants to learn more about Combat
Archery and Siege would be more than welcome to join in. On the job
training is provided, and you will get to meet some highly experienced
and knowledgeable people from all over the SCA Known World.

Without Volunteers Pennsic would not be able to function as an event.
Every person who spends a little time volunteering at Pennsic is
providing valuable service to the SCA as a whole. You meet new people,
and make it possible for everyone to have a good time, including
yourself.

Please do your part and volunteer to help.

Thanks for your attention!
