Excellency has already proposed a Hot Cocoa Challenge. We will have multiple
fire pits - anyone want to do a lunch tavern? Sell s’more kits and sausages? In
Germany we learned to roast cheese over the fire and eat it on a slice of
bread. Volunteers and more ideas appreciated. </span></span><span class="excerptpart"><span><span></span></span></span></p>

recently with practices and other activities. I am currently not participating
very much as I still do not feel comfortable attending indoor activities. It is
my current intent that I won't be attending anything for the rest of the year.
It would be nice to find someone who is willing to welcome new people who are
interested in attending in person. It is my intent to step down and would like
to have found a replacement by Spring Revel (if there is one.) In the meantime
I plan to start looking for a deputy. Please let me know if you have any
questions!<span> </span>Thank you, Ceara<span> </span><span></span></span></p>

three years, and I have truly enjoyed this position. I am looking for a deputy
who is interested in learning the job and taking over in January. Please
contact me if you are interested or have any questions. <span> </span>We have the most activity on the official
Facebook page and group(s). I update the calendar monthly, which syncs to the
website. Our Instagram has a few posts per month. We have YouTube and
Pinterest, but those are rarely used. - <span> </span>YIS Beth<span>

big going on. We had a small bean count at the Fall Revel. Thank you to Morwen

classes lately though I plan to put out a call for Thursday classes as we enter
the winter months.<span> </span>I'm also planning to
step down soon, so I'm looking for a replacement. My Deputy has recently taken
on a job that has him traveling a lot and while he's still willing to take on
the position if need be, I would prefer to not have to put that on him if we
can find someone else to fill the role. <span>

tournament, have been case-by-case cancelled for lack of attendance recently.
It is helpful if fighters turn on notifications for the Baronial group or add
me on FB Messenger or email even so they can respond if they'll be in
attendance. Beth posts the event page every week with reminders and I do a
special post to get a head count (usually on Wednesdays) to give people an idea
of what's happening. It's also a good idea to pay attention in case we have
rule changes or the KEM has put out something relevant. I drive from 45-60
minutes away and need to know relatively early on Thursdays who is planning on
being there so I can make the call for our other out of towners so they don't
make the trip and get disappointed. Our newer folks also deserve some
consistency in scheduling so they don't think we're flakey. If it's a matter of
fighting indoors or if we don't want to fight during the winter, we can talk
about that, but it is frustrating planning and asking and organizing just to
hear crickets. <span> </span></span></span><span>The Kingdom is finally ready to launch the new
authorization database soon, so I may be contacting you privately if you're on
my roster. I'm open to being friends on FB or to hear that you have a new email
so I can double check before my Domesday report in December.<span></span></span></p>

gear is in desperate need of maintenance. If practice attendance continues to
flag, I could organize Thursday's as a chance to do both, with folks bringing
their own projects or helping me overhaul the loaner gear. <span> </span>We could also spar or work on out-of-kit
training if there is interest.<span> </span>There
will be a regional archery practice in January where folks can get authorized for
combat archery, get training, or otherwise investigate the combat archery
community. It would be great to field some archers for Pennsic next year in
Baronial colors.<span> </span><span> </span>– Jorun<span></span></span></span></p>

martial activities, we are asking that populace report whether they have
participated in these activities in the year prior to the shutdown, and/or
after the restart. This is, of course, not going to capture the number of
participants who do not report in for this audit, but we are hoping to
establish at least a baseline of average participation in these activities."<span> </span>[Source, Midrealm Martial Audit 2021].<span> </span>H</span><span class="gmail-d2edcug0"><span>istorically
