XLII / 2007) From the Baron & Baroness

Unto the populace of fair Aneala do Lachlahn and Jane send greetings, in hopes this missive finds you in good health and spirits as we approach the festive season of the year .

It has been a time of much coming and going, and we take this opportunity first to welcome our new champions - Lord Donnchadh Baillie, Champion of Rapier, Lord Jehan de Benne, Champion of Archers, and Lord Prospero ab Aqua, who stays with us now as Champion of Armoured Combat. We also wish to express our heartfelt thanks to Baroness Catherine, Sir Kane, and Lord Prospero for their efforts as our champions over the past year. We have high hopes of our current champions, and feel sure they will live up to the standard set by their predecessors.

We also bid farewell to Signora Catalina, our newly appointed ambassador to the Spanish Empire, and wish her well in her travels to her homeland, trusting that she will return to us in due time. We shall miss her company and her organisational skills! On a brighter note, our hearts are gladdened by the return of Alicia the Pastry Chef, looking much recovered from her recent misadventure.

As we write, we recall the valiant deeds displayed this day upon the field of combat during the College of St Basil's Challenge. All the challenges issued by the Barony were met with courage and skill by the College combatants, and a most enjoyable and entertaining day was had by all. We are particularly mindful of the efforts of Walter MacMahon, whose first event as steward shows immense promise. We recall, on this occasion, the words of good Queen Bess - "The end crowneth the work". We look forward to seeing great things from this young gentle.

In closing, good gentles, we leave you with more words from Her Majesty Elizabeth of England, which we feel particularly appropriate on the occasion of the November Crown Tourney - "What a family is without a steward, a ship without a pilot, a flock without a shepherd, a body without a head, the same, I think, is a kingdom without the health and safety of a good monarch."

We remain Yours in service,

Lachlahn Jane Baron Baroness

Page 3 The Vine ~ Vol. 14, Issue 7 (November A.S. XLII / 2007) From the Baroness

Greetings, good gentles.

I have decided, given the numbers of forms I have so far received, to extend the census deadline to Sunday fortnight, being November 11 (Remembrance Day). My hearty thanks to those of you who have returned forms (or have told me you are about to return them!)

Also, should you not have a device, or have an unregistered device, please feel free to leave the device section blank. It will be enough to have your name and a depiction of your dwelling for the map.

Yours in service, Jane.

[ Chronicler’s note: The form can be downloaded from here: http://aneala.sca.org.au/resources/censusform.pdf ]

From the Seneschal

I was thinking about where we are at with The Barony of Aneala.

For a long time Aneala has been one of the most active groups in Lochac. This is not surprising as our nearest group is 32 hours away by car or 4 hours away by plane. In all, it’s a good group, with lots to offer anyone who would care to join.

So what do you want from Aneala?

What are you prepared to do to get it?

Groups don’t just run themselves; they take officers and autocrats to make it all work. It doesn’t take a lot of work as there are so many officers to do a little each, but to remain a Barony Aneala needs a full slate of officers. We have a number of vacant offices right now and some with officers looking to hand on.

Let’s look at what some of the officers’ roles are so you can pick the one for you. All officers at Baronial level are expected to hand on after 2 years, with a maximum term of 4 years if you’re having fun.

Reeve (Book Keeper) Responsible for keeping the books Attend council with a current balance Give advice on financial spending to Council Help autocrats keep the financial reporting straight. Report up-line quarterly and at the end of financial year. No role at events, purely administrative. Continued next page

Page 4 The Vine ~ Vol. 14, Issue 7 (November A.S. XLII / 2007) From the Seneschal (continued)

Constable (Safety & security) Collects waivers at events Makes sure event sites meet SCA safety & security standards There is a manual and people to help you learn the role. Attend Council Report on each event to Autocrat Report up-line quarterly.

Arts & Sciences Organise A&S competitions Organise (not present) workshops and presentations Attend Council Report event competitions to Autocrats Report up-line quarterly

Chatelaine Look after newcomers. Mentoring role and meet-and-greet role Lots of fun Attend Council Report up-line quarterly

Gold Key Help newcomers with loaner garb and feasting gear Maintain loaner garb and feasting gear Advise Council on what is needed to make people feel comfortable in the loaner gear.

Marshal Organise the marshalling at events Attend Council Report on each event to Autocrat Report up-line quarterly.

Lists Officer Organise the List Keeping at events Attend Council Report on each event to Autocrat & Kingdom list officer Report up-line quarterly.

Ok so now you, yes you , have some to choose from. Please contact me or the incumbent officer if you need more information.

Time to step up to the plate.

The Honourable Sir Kane Greymane Viscount, Knight & Pelican Seneschal of Aneala

Page 5 The Vine ~ Vol. 14, Issue 7 (November A.S. XLII / 2007) Officers Needed

The Barony is always looking for people who are willing to contribute some of their time and energy to the service of all.

CHATELAINE

LISTS OFFICER

If you are interest in either of these office, please contact the Seneschal at seneschal@aneala. sca.org.au , or on 9314 2506.

Kane Greymane, Seneschal

REEVE

I would like to hand on the office of Baronial Reeve for MidSummer's feast, and to that end will be looking for a replacement to take on these duties. Reeve is not a hard office if you know how to read a bank statement and use a calculator. If you are interested please email Baroness Catherine de Arc (contact details in Regnum) to discuss the duties of the office in further detail.

Senora Catalina de Gata, Reeve

DEPUTY CONSTABLE

The Office of Constable is responsible for signing-in people at events, and for collecting site fees. The Constable also collects property lost at events. Please note that this position is advertised with the idea that, once comfortable and well-versed in the office, the Deputy would assume the full Baronial Constable’s position.

Mistress Rhianwen ni Dhiarmada, Constable

A Plea for Help

Milady Angela, who has newly joined our happy band, is also a member of Trio Grosso, which, as some of you will know, is a long-running Early Music group in , and one with which we in Aneala have shared many happy times over the last score of years.

She has decided to compile a history of Trio Grosso, and, as part of this effort, she asks all the populace of Aneala for any pictures they have of this excellent group.

If any gentles reading this have pictures of Trio Grosso, please contact milady Angela at: [email protected] or on: 0421 957 555

Page 9 The Vine ~ Vol. 14, Issue 7 (November A.S. XLII / 2007) From the Crux Australis Herald

The following names and devices were recently registered by Laurel Sovereign of Arms.

Aliénor of Essewell Device Niall de Marseilles Device Shire of Bosenberg Branch Name

Congratulations to all.

In one of the recent announcements of heraldic registrations you may have seen that several of Lochac's award names have been registered. But there were a couple that were returned; one of them was the Order of the Golden Lily for the following reason :-

“Lochac, Kingdom of. Order name Order of the Golden Lily.

Conflict with the "Order of the Golden Lily", Bosnia's highest military commendation. This order, according to "SFOR Stabilization Force" ( http://www.nato.int/sfor/media/2004/ ms040514.htm\ ) is not only this region's highest military honor, but carries with it a yearly stipend. As the highest military honor of a country much in the news of late, we feel this real-world order name is worthy of protection.”

So I am now on the hunt for an alternative name and thought that as it is an award for the whole Kingdom I should engage the Kingdom's populace and their creativity to find a new name for the order.

Here's your chance to have some input into your Kingdoms awards. I would like to hear ideas for the name of the Kingdom A&S award and will be taking them from now until November Crown where I will present the ones that are registrable to Their Majesties and Their Highnesses for Them to choose one.

The name must include the word Lily or Lilies.

It should follow period order naming practices (have a look at the Project Ordensnamen http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/order/ to get an idea)

Addition of locative names (such as of Lochac) do not count as a point of difference.

To get the ball rolling, a couple of ideas are already put forward - Gilt Lily & Greek Lilies.

All suggestions will be considered and vetted for ability to be registered. It doesn't matter if you’re really new to the Society or a Proto-Dinosaur, if you have an idea for a name, please let me know.

Please send all suggestions to me off-list at [email protected]

Yours in service to the Kingdom Chronicler’s note: The Golden Lily is given for

achievement in the arts and sciences. This Kingdom award has retained the token of the former Roman William Castille Lilies; a black pendant bearing the order's badge: Crux Australis Principal Herald Three lily blossoms in triquetra, Or.

To All Those Who May Consider Contesting November Crown

From Bartholomew and Katherine, Baron and Baroness of Southron Gaard, unto the noble and mighty populace of the Kingdom of Lochac, Greetings,

Whereas the Barony of Southron Gaard has prospered due to the frequent and welcome visits of numerous Royal Visitors in recent years, and whereas the cost of ruling and travelling through this diverse and far-flung Kingdom is very significant, and since there is merit in encouraging more contenders to contest Crown Tournaments by lessening the perceived burden which would arise should they succeed in their endeavour:

Let it be known that henceforth, to the winner of each November Crown tournament, the Barony of Southron Gaard will pay a purse of 500 gold, to be delivered into the victor's hands by way of a tallage, upon Their attendance at the Canterbury Faire which follows Their accession to the Throne of Lochac. This applies irrespective of Their normal abode or any prior arrangements They may have made to attend, and is in addition to whatever rights and privileges normally accompany Their presence as Monarchs at such an event.

Done by our hand and by the will of our people this 11th day of July, Anno Societatus XLII.

In service, Bartholomew and Katherine

A Competition

Just because I can, I’m running a competition.

It’s going to be one of those old favourites, a “Caption this picture” competition.

The cleverest entry (as judged by the Chronicler) received by same before the end of November will win a prize, consisting of a gift voucher, to a usable value, at one of the larger bookstore chains.

What are the rules? Keep it clean. Innuendo is probably safe, but remember, I have to be able to print it in this family-friendly newsletter. Entries should be in writing, preferably e-mail. And that’s about it, really. Oh, and the Chronicler’s decision is final, and no discussion will be entered into.

To start you off in the right frame-of-mind (if there is such a thing) here’s a caption I “prepared earlier”.

“Sir Kane was never able to look at his helmet in the same way again”.

So get those entries rolling in!

Disclaimer: Neither the Barony of Aneala nor the SCA endorses or sponsors this competition.

AN ITALIAN CARNIVALE

Come join in the Masked street fair, and enjoy dancing, games and general frivolity incognito. (Did I mentions MASKS?) Attendance at a carnivale called for ALL to wear masks so that rank and identity could be hidden from all (just think of the mischief you can get up to wearing a MASK). Noble folk especially hid their identity so they could relax and enjoy themselves.

The event opens at 5pm, continuing until 10pm, when we must all scatter afore the Guard takes our revels to the cells.

Pavilions will be set up; however, you will need to bring your own seating, and, as always, something to eat off and drink out of. Hmm … in summer, liquid to drink is also good.

If you wish to raise your personal pavilion or banner you can either be on site from 3:30pm to raise it yourself, or give it Mistress Muirghein (north of the river) or Lady Sorcha (south of the river) BEFORE the day. If you choose to raise your pavilion yourself be aware that the stewarding team will tell you where you can put it.

Note that NO pavilions or banners may be raised after 4:45pm

Also note that we will not have access to the hall proper until 5pm.
