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 [ Chronicler’s note: See pages 4 & 5 for descriptions of these Offices ] 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 Perth, 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 6 The Vine ~ Vol. 14, Issue 7 (November A.S.

  • A Quick Introduction to SCA for Media People. Contacting the SCA in New
    A Quick Introduction to SCA for Media People. The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is an international historical research and recreation group which, in over 40 years of operating as a non-profit organisation, has gained some 50,000 members worldwide. SCA members meet regularly to hold medieval or Renaissance-style tournaments, most commonly fighting in armour with sword and shield, as well as enjoying feasts, dancing and other events and activities that recreate “the better part of the Middle Ages”. Many historical recreation groups specialise in a particular time and place. However, the SCA covers a period from 600 to 1600CE in Europe. As part of this, members dress the part, so you may see Viking warriors rubbing shoulders with Italian knights, Elizabethan ladies embroidering next to Anglo-Saxon maidens. Members are drawn from a broad range of ages and occupations, and it is not uncommon for them to become recognised experts in their chosen SCA field of endeavour, earning academic credentials, acting as technical advisors to the film industry and becoming published authors. A number of branches have been established in New Zealand over the past 20 years, including groups in Auckland (known as the Barony of Ildhafn), Hamilton (the Canton of Cluain), Wellington (the Shire of Darton), Christchurch (the Barony of Southron Gaard) and Dunedin (the Canton of Castelburn). These groups are part of the Kingdom of Lochac, which at present covers Australia and New Zealand. The name "Lochac" comes from a reference in the book of Marco Polo's travels to lands south of Indonesia. Local groups are typically governed by a Baron and/or Baroness as representatives of the ruling King and Queen, with a Seneschal handling day-to-day operations, and a Chatelaine handling inquiries from the public.
