Page 3 Greetings unto the Populace of Aneala from Kilic Baron and Branwen Baroness,
We have had an exciting month. Very busy making garb, shoes, hats, jewellery and food. Practising music, dance and honing skills like fighting.
First off we had Newcomers Feast, where, Seamus Nua received a Black Feather and Lady Alanna Galliwoode received a Demi Sun for service. It was a great event where we met new people and introduced them to our Society. Thank you to the Stew- ard and all who helped out.
Next we had our biggest demo at The Perth Law Gardens at the WAMA fair. All the different Groups in the SCA as well as other medieval groups got together and introduced themselves to the populace of Perth . We had quite a few enquires. A thank you to Mistress Catherine d’Arc for co-ordinating our effort and to all those who came along and contributed. Well done. The next day, Lord Hadrian challenged all to come to his Queen’s guard challenge. He was accompanied by our Baro- nial Champion Lord Dino in facing all comers on the list field. There were some 10 fighters in the list; Baron Nathan did win in the end after a 3 way tie between him, Lord Conan and Lord Columb. A thank you to Lord Hadrian and his helpers for a great event.
Then we had this last weekend, Master now Sir Nathan Blacktower’s birthday bash Tournament and Knighting. A really hot day which didn’t slow the fighters any. Their majesties, Gabriel and Constanzia had a great time. This was followed by a feast where Lord Columb showed off his culinary skill and we got to dance, sing and feast with gay abandonment. Thank you again to those who helped set up, take down, performed their offices and generally made newer members and visitors at home. The next day saw The King and visiting Knights Sir Stefan and Sir Somerled showing and teaching our armoured combatants and the Queen making headwear and showing stitching at Wandi. An IKAC was also run and we had more fun in the sun and heat.
Their Majesties did recognise the following with admittance to these Orders. Congratulations all and well deserved.
Mistress Catherine received the Cockatrice for Arts and Sciences Baron Lachlahn a Golden Tear for service Lord Agostino an Award of Arms Lady Bettina an Award of Arms Lord Raynald and Lady Petronilla from Dragon’s Bay, Awards of Arms Lord Conan received a Miles Regni for service to fighting.
They also re-announced the Lily for Lady Helen and the Prometheus for Sir Peter
In our Court we were honoured to admit Lord Pantera and Lord Columb unto our Order of the Valiant Swan. Lady Alianore presented us with a wonderfully beaded Baronial Device.
So in all a very successful month.
What’s next? Well its still going to be busy. April sees The Autumn Gathering, Rowany festival and Southern Moot, all camping events where our members will be travel- ling to. For locals the Autumn gathering will be held down south in Bunbury in a vineyard and we know most will be starting to prepare for those events. Travel safe and stay healthy. In May we may have another visiting Knight, the date to be confirmed. Then the Baronesses’ Fighter Auction, our Premier Tournament of the year, where we you can bid for an Armoured or Rapier fighter. The theme for this year is the fighter is to choose their favourite Feast Dish; this again will be a blind auction. We would like prizes for the prize table, just contact us if you have any questions. This will be held at East Cannington Park , Station St Cannington on Sunday the 22 nd May - More details will follow. My deputy will be M’Lord Ben from Abertridwr. June sees us going to Pencampwr where we expect the King and Queen to attend. They really must enjoy our company. So in anticipation, write recommendations.
To all our populace have a great time but remain safe.
Yours in service Kilic and Branwen Baron and Baroness of Glorious Aneala Page 4
Illud est rem diximus The College of Saint Basil the Great is back in business - the business of avoiding our studies in favour of me- dieval pursuits, that is! We returned to university at the end of February and training resumed immediately. Lately there has been a great turn-out at college trainings, with both heavy and rapier training occurring and fingerloop braiding being taught to everyone who will sit still long enough to try it. We’re trying our very best to encourage dancing, too, but alas we face the age-old problem of the boys not wanting to join in.
The College Newcomers’ Feast ran on March 12th to welcome all the new members of the Colleges of Saint Basil and Saint Lazarus. It was highly successful and feedback from the attending newcomers has been posi- tive. We were especially pleased to see them return to training the following week! The College greatly appre- ciated the help and support of everyone who attended and would like to say an extra special thank you to Duenna Catalina and Lady Elinor who stepped in to run the kitchen at the last minute due to the ill health of M’Lady Bettina. Congratulations go to Seamus Nua who was admitted to the Order of the Black Feather and to all those who were awarded prizes for their garb on the night. Furthermore, some official seneschal hand-overs took place at the feast: congratulations go to both outgoing and incoming seneschals. Members of the College attended the WAMA Fair on March 19th and greatly enjoyed the day. As always there was much dancing and general merriment and we were fortunate to have some of our newer members attend as well. Currently the College is preparing for Nathan’s birthday tourney and the accompanying royal visit. Everyone is working on fancy new 14th century garb and of course gifts for Their Majesties. Perhaps the most impressive thing that the College has achieved so far this year is that we have (so far) stuck to our new years resolution - we’ve been productive at every training session! Remember that everyone is welcome to attend College trainings! We appreciate not just the input and assis- tance of members of the barony but also your excellent company. The College of Saint Basil the Great trains on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4pm on the Oak Lawn at UWA, with A&S held on Thursday evening from around 7pm in the Guild Council Room at UWA. Contact Lady Elizabeth (or any other college member) for more information.

An IKAC shoot was held at Abertridwr training on the afternoon Sunday 27 th March. 12 archers, in- cluding two new members of Dragon’s Bay, competed in Open Bow Division.
The top scoring archers were:
Raynald Greygoose Dragon's Bay 128 Renonys de la Fueille Aachenfeld 88 Alianore de Essewell Abertridwr 87
It was very pleasing to see so many of the groups in our region represented. I would especially like to thank the popu- lace of Dragon’s Bay for allowing us to use their shade pavilions and for assis- tance with range set-up and moving the targets, all of which is greatly appreci- ated.
The scores for this shoot will be up- loaded to the ‘Tournament Results’ section of the Aneala website, as well as the society IKAC pages which can be found at http://scores-sca.org/ikac
The next IKAC shoot will be taking place on the afternoon of Friday 22 April at Autumn Gathering. Scores for all shoots throughout the western re- gion of Lochac are being collated and prizes will be award at the end of the season for best and most improved archers. To be in the running for best archer you will need to shoot at least 3 IKACs throughout the season as this prize is awarded on the basis of your average of 3 best scores. Training is available in Aachenfeld from 10am til noon on Sunday morning and in Aber- tridwr from 2 til 4 pm on Sunday after- noons.
One final note: I would like to hear from anyone interested in taking on the posi- tion of Captain of Archers for the bar- ony. Any queries may be emailed to [email protected] Photo supplied by Alianore de Essewell

Argh...... Mercy
The Residents of Abertridwr, having this day cleaned out the Cantons store- room has been suddenly descended upon by a plague of Rats that were hid- den therein. This is a call to all Archers willing and able to come to our aid and help rid us of this furry menace
Therefore on Sunday April 17th at the stroke of 2pm, the Piper shall be called forth to gather the Rats to the Archery grounds of Wandi, where they shall be dealt with.
The Rats [balloons] will be on targets at 20yds. You will have only 4 arrows with which to hit the rats to gain 5 pts but be warned, for among this group of rats there are some that are inflicted with the deadly plague. Hit one of these [you'll know it when it explodes] and you're dead and must step back from the line until it is next your turn. There will be 5 ends for a max of 100pts. Follow- ing this Rat shoot, we shall mourn the losses by holding a Wreath Shoot. Kings Round, 6 arrow elimination . These are also the first 2 Archery Shoots of this years Inaugral Saethydd gan Abertridwr and must be completed by those Archers entering the Saethydd]

Page 10 Elizabethan Village Green Market Day Demo Sunday the 1 st of May
As we did last year we will be transferring training from Wandi to the Elizabethan Village Green for the WAMA market Days Usually we set up from 8am and run to 4pm We will have an information tent and a list field. Come help us grow Abertridwr and the SCA. Last year these were small in attendance but people who come are interested in medieval Europe and historical stuff so the results are better even with a small attendance. Anyone who wants to set up a table and sell stuff should look to do that, I think the tables are about $5 for a vendor or $10 for a tent. For More information contact Sir Kane, 9314 2506, [email protected]

New Stewards Prize Competition for Pencampwr The screen wall that is used to hide the campsite is not working The competition is to make a screen wall 2M X 2M that shows your group or any (G Rated) medieval scene you wish. Heraldic rules are not important but devices may be incorporated into the screen. Medium is up to you but must be free standing or safely secured into the ground. So you can do your: Kingdom, Barony, canton, college, shire or household. Households would for example be Darksun or Templestone, Knights Bridge, Clan Brechin, Annwn or Bastion ETC or all of the above. NB as this is a steward’s prize competition thus it does not count as an A&S competition so may be entered in the open A&S competition or Arobryn as well but will need documentation if entered in an A&S competition.
