[Cynnabar] Baronial Activites at Pennsic

[Hannah Schreiber]

Greetings unto the noble citizens of Cynnabar,


Tairdelbach and Hannah do send well wishes as you plan for the upcoming War. 
Please read on for Pennsic activities with your Barony! Your help, direction, 
and support are both appreciated and needed!

Volunteering at Pennsic (Guard duty, Retainers, Peers on Duty and more!)
Hear it shall be known that for ANY member of the populace who volunteers any 
service position completed at Pennsic for the Kingdom or for any general Pennsic 
staff you will receive a token of appreciation for your duty from us! We 
encourage you all to do at least one hour of help in any way possible as many 
happy hands make for lighter work for all. After you complete your service 
please let us know!

Guard duty consists of standing in front of Midrealm Royal and giving the 
direction of passage to those entering --- yes they can, or no they cannot -- 
based on the Crown's activities. These are arranged through the Kingdom 
Castellan and can be scheduled in advance of arriving at Pennsic through this 
web site link:
http://www.castlewalls.com/POD/Gate_Form.php

Despite my best efforts we have no official 'block of time' for as retainers for 
Their Majesties or Their Highnesses. I encourage you to sign-up by going to the 
Midrealm Royal main gate and inquiring. Retaining shifts vary by the activities 
of the Crown. If you have never retained before this is a fantastic opportunity 
to see the 'behind the scenes' of the Crown. I had originally tried for 'middle' 
Sunday afternoon, so if you want to try for that time -- that'd be great.
 
Peers -- you should have already been contacted about volunteering for  shifts. 
There is an electronic sign up list. If you didn't receive that,  please email 
me and I will send you the link. I know you have busy schedules, so any 
volunteering you can manage is greatly appreciated! 


The above are just mentioned as service at Midrealm Royal. There are MANY other 
ways to serve at Pennsic, too. Volunteers are always needed as water bearers, at 
herald's point, as teachers, at gate, at info point, at Pennsic University, at 
security and others that I'm sure I'm not even mentioning. If you do not know 
how to meet up with these locations and services -- we can help put you in 
touch.
