Cards of support from his friends would be appreciated. (Please contact me privately for his address). Robyn, asks that you be mindful that Lambert is not religious. We will share more information when it becomes available. -- Malachy and ?l?fr From barony at cynnabar.org Sat May 29 11:09:58 2021 From: barony at cynnabar.org (Seneschal Cynnabar via Barony) Date: Sat, 29 May 2021 11:09:58 -0400 Subject: [Cynnabar] Re-opening rules updates from the SCA Message-ID: This will be long, because I am including both the link and the full text of each proclamation. >From the SCA BoD: https://www.sca.org/news/from-the-society-seneschal-re-resolution-to-further-lift-suspension-of-in-person-activity-in-the-sca-as-of-july-1st-2021/ Greetings to the SCA: In April of this year, the Board of Directors of the SCA, Inc. issued a proclamation allowing in-person events to resume in North America as of June 1, 2021, subject to any federal, state, provincial, or local government health restrictions, and subject to restrictions imposed by the Board to try to ensure the safety of our participants, given conditions of the pandemic at the time. It was stated then that these restrictions would be revisited as appropriate. At their May 25, 2021 conference call meeting, the Board of Directors of the SCA, Inc. discussed the latest guidance from the CDC, as well as current trends in the United States in particular with regard to the increasing availability of COVID vaccinations and the decreasing incidence of illness and hospitalizations in the United States. The Board then decided to loosen many of the SCA-imposed restrictions* effective July 1, 2021.* The attached proclamation spells out the requirements for in-person events going forward from that July 1 date. The Board further took the following action: *Motion by Dale Fong-Frederick to approve the following language, and require that it appear on all event notices, flyers, online announcements, and advertisements, as well as being posted in multiple locations, including Troll [Registration], at all events: * *Although the SCA complies with all applicable laws to ensure the health and safety of our event participants, we cannot eliminate the risk of exposure to infectious diseases during in-person events. By participating in the in-person events of the SCA, you acknowledge and accept the potential risks. You agree to take any additional steps to protect your own health and safety and those under your control as you believe to be necessary. * *Seconded by Gigi Coulson. Opposed: None. Motion carried.* This language will be required to appear on *all* event notices, flyers, online announcements, and advertisements, as well as being posted in multiple locations at *any and all* SCA-sponsored functions going forward. A PDF of this language can be found here: https://www.sca.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/052021EventSign.pdf A few important notes: 1. During the month of June, *all current restrictions including mask requirements and the 150-person attendance limit remain in effect.* The new proclamation does not take effect until July 1. 2. As always, any and all federal, state, provincial, and local health rules and restrictions must be followed. If your local government does not allow gatherings above a certain size, or requires masks, those restrictions of course must be enforced. 3. Individual kingdoms are always allowed to impose more restrictions than those imposed by the SCA, Inc. No kingdom is required to begin holding in-person events if the Crown and Kingdom Seneschal do not believe it is safe yet; a kingdom may continue to require face coverings, impose size limits on events, or prohibit overnight camping if it wishes. The President, Society Seneschal, and Board will support kingdoms in resuming events in the way that seems safest for them. Please contact the Society Seneschal at seneschal at sca.org and the President at president at sca.org with questions. 4. The SCA has always been built on the ideals of chivalry and courtesy. We expect that people will continue to display these values at all times, and respect individuals? personal choices regarding their own health and safety. The Society Seneschal and the President will continue to work with Kingdom Seneschals to implement the SCA?s return to live events in a safe and responsible manner. We appreciate everyone?s patience and understanding as we move forward.

After consultation with Their Majesties, the Martial Activities Restart Plan is hereby rescinded. Martial activities will continue to be prohibited in the Middle Kingdom through June 30, 2021. This includes meetings, practices, and events. Starting on July 1, 2021, all martial activities will be permitted as normal, with the exception that we must continue to follow Society directives on no shared water/food, and attendance at activities should be preregistered. ALL directives and restrictions from the Martial Activities Restart Plan are void, meaning all remaining marshal training zoom meetings are canceled, and no one is required to participate in the Reintroduction process. All martial authorizations and marshal warrants that were valid at the beginning of the shutdown will have their expiration date set for July 1, 2022. Questions may be sent to marshal at midrealm.org Concerns about restarting activities may be emailed to sca-comments at lists.sca.org As a final note: activities being allowed does not require you to participate. Please do not do anything, or let yourself feel pressured to do anything, that you do not feel safe doing. I want to thank all of my deputies for all of their hard work as prepared for a restart on an ever-shifting landscape. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

All SCA, Inc., state, and local restrictions must be strictly observed. We continue to heartily encourage all Midrealmers who are able to obtain a vaccination to do so to protect others who may not be able to be vaccinated due to health concerns or their age. We encourage those who wish to wear a mask to do so, especially if they are not vaccinated. We understand that there are many people who are not ready to come to an event for many and diverse reasons, including and especially those who cannot be vaccinated or have young children who cannot be vaccinated. We support those decisions and encourage you to only attend events as is appropriate for your health and well-being and that of your loved ones. Until further notice or until the end of Our Reign, We will not require any of Our Curia to attend any event that they do not feel comfortable attending and will request a variance from SCA, Inc. should it be required by Midrealm law (as is the case for certain events). We hereby proclaim that any officer or representative of the Midrealm shall also enjoy the same privilege: if any group has attendance written into any governing documents regarding the group events, that requirement will be waived until further notice or the end of Our Reign. Please continue to be kind to each other. We look forward to seeing you soon! Felix et Madeleina -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Given the results to date and the words from the Board regarding re-opening in July, we shall be looking to hold our re-opening picnic sometime in July or later. There was good response from many people about the possibility of holding the picnic in June even under current restrictions. Even then, many were most interested in our later dates. We shall poll again the first week in July. -- Malachy and ?l?fr, Barons of Cynnabar
