Calontir!

I saved the best for last and am working on this right up to the last minute.   This will be my final issue as Chronicler for the Kingdom of Calontir, by the time this issue goes to press, I will have stepped down at Toys for Tots and Lord Randal Logan of Knightbridge will be stepping into my position.  Please, show him the same kindness and courtesy that you have shown me.

You will see some drastic changes to the layout for this last issue of 2024.  These are a result of requests for more time for a flyer to run in the Mews, for event pages to be created on FaceBook, more time for Pre-Registration to take place, for people to plan better on what events they can attend, and when they are happening and where.  Will those requests come changes.  For more flyers / event information to run, the information submitted needs to be trimmed — drastically.  Going forward all event “flyers” will be at maximun 1/4-page, text only. 

The information required is:  Event Name, Group hosting, Date, Time that Site opens and closes, Event Registration Fees, Name both SCA and Mundane of the Event Steward along with a contact email for them AND a phone number.  All this information is non-negotiable and is require both by Corpora and Calontir. 

But what about the work that we put into the flyer?  The artwork, the extra “fluff” bits??? Where will that go?  Do not worry, the event flyers that you send will be added to the Kingdom Calendar on the Kingdom website, or they might even be incorporated into the event information, it just depends on time and other things.    Also, all of that information can be added to the event page that our KSMO, Mielikkä will create for you once the Mews is published by Society, and not before!  Also, websites, all this information can also go on to the event website.

Another reason for the change is that I have had a number of flyers recently that had either incorrect dates, an address that was not correct, pricing information was not correct, or event staff was listed that we later find out are not staff.  It takes time for me to request the new information from the event steward or group seneschal for them to edit the flyer, get it to me and for me to update the page.  Now, with the required information and it being in an editable format, the Chronicler is not waiting for anyone to get back to them, they can change the information and also have the Mews to Publications on time. 

I know not everyone will be pleased with these changes, but give it time, we are trying to make it so we can get as much information out to everyone in a timely manner.  And who knows, maybe with this change we will see more events showing up in the Kingdom.

In Service

Good afternoon,

This is an important announcement from the kingdom reeve. Going forward, ALL event submissions MUST be submitted to me via your group seneschal through their official seneschal or official group chair (lilies/cooks’ guild/etc) email. If an event bid is submitted by the event steward or through a personal email, it will be automatically rejected. Additionally, going forward, if your group is submitting a bid for a kingdom level event (crown, coronation, qpt, kingdom a&s, king’s company of archers, caloncon, etc) and utilizing the pdf form, ALL signatures must be handwritten by each party required (group seneschal, exchequer, financial committee member, and baronage member, if applicable). Electronic signatures are no longer acceptable for the time being. If you have questions please email me at reeve @ calontir . org

Thank you,

Jorunna Refsdottir

Greetings Calontir!

As many of you are preparing to travel next weekend to attend Fall Crown Tournament, we have a few reminders for you.

-The weather is a fickle thing; but, if we can fight outside, we will be doing so. Please bring chairs and suitable garb for whatever the temperatures end up being. Personal shades are welcome if they have ground weights to hold them in place. No ground stakes may be put in the practice field the tournament will take place on.

-Site is dry.

-No pets, though service animals are perfectly good.

-There will be two fundraisers to raise money for the kingdom soup kitchen. The first will be the soup tavern lunch which will be available for donations. The second will be a silent auction. We have some armor pieces, a walnut fyrd mug, a cut and thrust single sword with finger guards (Made by soon to be Master Sir Cai!) , some trim, and some other items. 

-Sir Cai’s “Ice Cream Social Vigil” will open after the Chiv meeting held after the tournament! 

-Childrens’ activities wil lbe held after the tournament. Please bring coffee cans and easter eggs to make instruments. (I have heard that these instruments will have a definite opportunity to be used at Lilies this year!)

-This even is taking place in Andover. There will be stores, gas stations, restaurants, and other service available close to site.

We look foward to hosting you in our barony, can’t wait to see you soon.
