From the Exchequer
Unto the goode and noble gentles of St Swithin's Bog,
At this time I am on successor search. I want to take a year off from the SCA to
get my life and etc back in order. I will still attend events but want to enjoy
other interests at this time. Please contact me if you are interested in the
exchequer position.

Barony Business Meeting Minutes
Barony of St. Swithin's Bog Meeting Minutes, Sunday, April 6, 2008
Called to order at the Hiram G. Andrews Center at 3:00 pm.
Officers' Reports:
Baron: Master Quinn- Please take a look at the War Point schedule for Pennsic
this year. It is going to be a challenge.
Baroness: Dame Vivienne- Gave a most lovely speech (with pictures!) of inspiring
more interest in the Barony and the Society. If you were there, you would have
seen the spark in the Baroness's eye as she spoke of her pride in our Barony.
Her excellency encourages everyone in the Barony to participate in the upcoming
demos and events.
Lady Emily- As we encourage everyone to participate in activities in the Barony
and beyond, we also emphasize the need to check the Kingdom schedule of events
so that we may avoid multiple events at one time. Also, practices at HGA are
around 4pm if we need to be inside, we can of course, begin earlier if weather
permits us to be outside.
Exchequer: Mistress AElfra-Baronial checking: $ 2,633.77. Baronial savings:
$2049.05. Canton checking: $1,243.43.
Knight Marshal: Lord Connor- Fighter practice is still on Sunday at HGA.
"Come on, if Aquila can show up, so can you!"
Fencing Marshal: Don Bastiano- Fencing practice is Wednesday night at
Bastiano's loft and on Sunday at HGA around 4pm. Just a reminder that we still
do have youth fencing and Bastiano has passed his official SCA background check.
Herald: Dame Vivienne-
Chatelaine: THL Tower-
Chronicler: Michela-
Arts & Sciences: Don Bastiano- A & S night is Tuesday at 6:30 at Bastiano's
loft. We have been holding them on a week by week basis. If there is something
you are interested in, please let him know and he will see if the resources are
available.
Scribal Guild: Mistress Cynthia- Scribal workshops will resume on Wednesday,
April 23rd
Historian: Dame Charmaine-History, as usual, is happening
Webminister: Lord Kenn- Please send any webpage updates.......new pictures and
video are welcome!
Old Business: 2008 Bog 3 Day Event- It was decided and voted on that we will
not be holding a Bog 3 Day event this year. The Canton will be hosting the
Pearls Tournament at Spring Thing.
New Business- Ideas to make the Barony visible to the public and to possibly
attain new members: A demo at the Community Arts Festival in August, A demo in
July at the Galleria, Twin Lakes Demo also in July, holding practices at
Roxbury, possibly advertising in local publications about who we are and what we
do. Information will be posted regarding these ideas and more, please mark your
calendars and plan to attend these events.
The Barony meeting was adjourned at 4:00 pm.

Canton of Westland Mor
Saturday, June 14, 2007
Join the Canton of Westland Mor for our 9th Annual Spring Thing event on Saturday, June 14, 2008, upon the Flax Scutching Grounds, Stahlstown PA (no street address). Our theme for this year will be "Days of Swine and Roses". We are also the honored hosts of the 7 Pearls Fencing Tourney!
The Autocrat for the days activities shall be Lady Fejes Elena (Sharyl Clapp); and the Feastocrat is Lady Alexzandria (Allie Dawson-Schott). While the menu is still being tweaked, rumor has it that a roasted pig shall be featured!
Check back for more details!!!
Directions:
From the West:
Take your best route to Route 30. Take Route 30 east toward Ligonier. At
Ligonier, make a right onto Rt. 711 South. Follow 711 south for approximately
6-8 miles. The Flax Scutchin' Grounds will be on your right. Keep an eye out for
the SCA signs.
From the East:
Take your best route to Route 30. Take Rt. 30 west toward Ligonier. At Ligonier,
make a left onto Rt. 711 South. Follow 711, south for approximately 6-8 miles.
The Flax Scutchin' Grounds will be on your right. Keep an eye out for the SCA
signs.
The site is also accessible from the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Exit the Turnpike at
the Donegal exit. Make a left out of the interchange (onto Rte 31),
approximately 1/10 of a mile turn left again and follow the signs for 711 North
toward Ligonier. The Flax Scutchin' Grounds will be on your left, approximately
5-7 miles north of the Turnpike.
Baronial Champs Galleria Mall
Good Lords and Ladies:
Please mark your calendars for July 12, 2008, as that is
the date we have set with the Galleria for doing our
event/demo.
For those of you who were unable to make the meeting, we
thought we would approach this demo a bit differently and
actually hold an event there. This will be our Baronial
Champions Event.
If the weather is with us, we will be setting up in the
large(extremely large), grassy area behind the mall
between Boscovs and Sears. We should like to set up
pavilions as well as a tournament area complete with
pennons/banners/
items, Armor, calligraphy and illumination, the usual
stuff that we display at a demo. Inside, we will have a
somewhat smaller presence at the old fountain site with
some displays and TV/VCR running the Pennsic
XX(edited)video. If anyone has a newer DVD on Pennsic, we
will be able to provide a DVD player as well and alternate
the videos. We will need to take turns manning this
station, because most of our activity will be going on
outside, but we will take some time to do processions in
the mall with maybe some fencing or fighting at those
times just to encourage people to come out back.
However, if the weather is bad, everything will be done
inside at the old fountain site on the first floor. There
is quite a bit of space there, so I think we will still be
able to put up Connor's indoor pavilion and do the event
from there.
As far as we know, there is nothing else scheduled for the
mall that weekend.
I would like to encourage everyone to dig out your best
garb for this special occasion. It will be our Baronial
Birthday Party as well and, who knows, there may be some
cake and ice cream...
Anyone with any suggestions or ideas for this event/demo,
please do not hesitate to contact myself, Baron Quinn, or
Lady Emily, our Seneschale. Thanks in advance for what I
hope will be a fantastic turnout for our 10th year as a
Barony.
Sincerely and In Service,
Vivienne, Baroness
