From barony at cynnabar.org Tue Dec 1 19:58:07 2015 From: barony at cynnabar.org (Wendy Gouine via Barony) Date: Tue, 01 Dec 2015 14:58:07 -0500 Subject: [Cynnabar] reminder Message-ID: Greetings friends, Just a reminder if you are interested and available. As has been noted in Monday Mtg minutes I have arranged a visit to the Special Collections instruction room Dec. 3, 2:00-3:00 pm. The room is located on the eighth floor of the Hatcher Library. We will be meeting with Dr. Alvarez who will show us some manuscripts from the 12th-14th centuries. The collection of manuscripts is mainly ecclesiastical, meaning we can see numerous bibles and other works that were necessary for the liturgy of the Church, either for the mass or in a monastery setting. If this goes well they have our list of other topics. YiS, Daye -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Hello, everyone. As you may already know, Wassail will be held in less than two weeks! This is a relaxing event where the Barony has a chance to have fun together and just enjoy being Cynnabar. There will be games, entertainment, and plenty of Wassail toasts. I really, really hope everyone can come. Information about the event is available on the event website , but I want to draw everyone's attention to some activities that you may want to prepare for ahead of time: - Light vs. Dark theme -- We are encouraged to come dressed as "light and dark". I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's creativity with this! (^^) - Potluck: Bring a dish to share. Please be sure to label it if it contains any common allergens or dietary restrictions. We can use extra surge protectors, too. - Don't forget the annual Cynn-a-bar Cookie Contest! See the event website or contact the event steward for details. See you next Saturday!

Message-ID: Thank you for those of you who came out to the Ann Arbor Christian School Demo tonight! As her Excellency has already expressed, it was a lot of fun! With this being my first time running a demo of any sort, I found it extremely rewarding, Who knows, maybe we'll even get a family or two!!! There were a couple boys in particular that were pretty taken with the fighting and everyone seemed to really love the dancing. We had a perfect audience for the choir performance as well! I want to thank each person that came, Baroness Kasha, Baron Ermenrich, Aaron, Monigue, Magda, Sally, Martha, Hannah, Art, Alina, Midair, Martin and Cassandra. There was talk about plans for next year as well as possibly returning in the late winter/Spring!!! (it was cute, the 8th graders were very sad they missed us last year.) Everyone at the school seemed very pleased. Thank you to the choir. Baroness Kasha for organed the choir. Practices were fun and it was so great to be able to sing again! All of the singers sounded great! To the Dancers. Mistress Alina quickly organized and pulled dancing together. And then to the Fighters who did really great working the crowed at the end! Baron Ermenrich, Master Midair, and Baron Tairdelbach were great working with the kids and the intense amount of questions being asked. Lastly I would like to give a special shout out to Cassandra. She not only showed up, danced and was a most active part of the barony tonight but we also taught a dance to about 20 eighth graders tonight. She also showed the spirit of the SCA to the other children by telling them the stuff she does as well as letting them know that she has fought, and beat, the king her self. I think having her there was a great way to make the children feel more on the same level as those of us there. It shows that what we do can be for youth too. So thank you, Cassandra. (Elaine, please pass this on to her for me!) Thanks again! ~Ceara -- ~ Ceara -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

That being said I have some concerns and, since I am not able to attend the meeting tonight, I put them forward here. My concern here is that it comes ahead of any proposal for the event itself, and therefore identification of who the event steward will be. As such I'm worried that it proposes an internal "sub-theme", outside the typical scope of the event, that any prospective event steward would be required to adopt. The group has long shied away from stewards being micromanaged by the group and this seems to me to fall into that territory. I like this idea in general and would support any steward who wanted to provide this sort of educational opportunity with any event the Barony hosts. I would prefer that it accompany the formal event proposal so that the group can be assured that the approved event steward is fully on board with the idea and not just taking it on because the group previously decided that this is what the group wanted for a particular event.

Please feel free to ask more questions - I don't want to derail the normal process, when the normal process is what I am trying to teach! If the group would rather, I can certainly bring a event proposal first, but I was hoping that my Deputies could work on it with me as part of the process. Thanks!

How will it affect the MIC job, or the fighting in general? Will each staff member - including MICs - be required to participate more in overall event planning/teaching their event planning steps, or have a deputy for their position? Or is it mostly to additionally shadow the event steward and overall job of putting together the event? Speaking as someone who is considering being rapier MIC again next year (if I'm asked to be), I'm wondering if this adds any additional work for that position. ~Birke On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 12:43 PM, Art Sinclair via Barony < barony at cynnabar.org> wrote: > Ah!

This is a great question, thank you! In many ways I imagine this process will feel very similar to running any other event/Grand Day - we will have an event steward and then all of the appropriate staff heads. Some of these staff heads will be Deputies to the Event Steward too, and will be "shadowing" to learn more, not only about their particular areas, but also event stewarding in general. They can participate in the workshops (which I plan to organize, be part of the behind the scenes discussion on relevant event stewarding topics), etc. Some staff will not be interested in all these details of event planning, but will still be part of the staff and we will work all together as a whole, trying to fulfill the vision of the event as stated in the proposal. Does this answer your question some? I will give it more consideration too and see what more I can do to explain. Thank you!

That means that a given present may only be stolen 3 times total for the entire event. So the 3rd person to steal an item cannot have it stolen from them again. - Note 2: The person who goes first does not get a chance to steal at the beginning, so they will have one final chance at the very end to steal.

Message-ID: Greetings!!! Starting in January we will be bringing back the pre-meeting workshops! This is in the hopes it will bring more people out to for some fun activities and to learn about many of the great things that our Society has to offer....and maybe stick around for the Baronial Meeting, too! Classes will begin at 6:30 in the same location as the meetings and go for about an hour before the meeting begins. That being said...if there's something you'd like to teach...let me know and I'll get it scheduled. And, if there's something you'd like to learn about...please let me know and I'll see if I can find someone to teach us about it! The classes for January are already on the Baronial calendar and we're working on getting a webpage started, too. Currently we have: *Jan 11 - The Rose Theatre, by Lady Daye* This will be a brief history and introduction to the building where Shakespeare got started. *Jan 18 - Tentatively - Developing an Event Bid, by Mistress Giovanna's * *Jan 25 - Good Books for Medievalists - by Mistress Kay* A round-table discussion about Society related books that inspire your efforts. Comparisons of books, and exchanging of ideas on what makes a book valuable to you as a SCA-dian. Again, if you'd like to contact me about classes...please feel free! Email is best...

As I mentioned at last week's business meeting, I am collecting stories and facts about Saint Cynnabarius. I hope to compile them and share them with the Barony. If you know anything about the Saint, or happen to have heard a tale of him, I would love to hear about it. *Please send your Cynnabarius stories, letters, miracle plays, top ten lists, Pinterest pages, photo-essays, etc. (both old and new!) to me by January 31.* Everyone who wants to participate is welcome to do so, no matter how long you have been a member of the Barony. And please don't feel that your stories have to "match" the ones we already have -- after all, what could be more period-accurate than conflicting sources? ;) That said, if you're wondering what "facts" are already known about the Saint, check out his Facebook page . Existing stories will be posted there over the next few weeks. I have been having a lot of fun reading old Cynnabarius stories and am looking forward to all the other creative things the Barony will come up with. Thank you!
