May Missive

We wish to offer Our gratitude to those who work tirelessly at events, within groups and in offices, as teachers and laborers so that Our Kingdom is able to offer such wonderful venues that are enormously fine examples within the Society. It is this work that enables everyone to enjoy so great a game. We are proud to be honored with the opportunity to shoulder this mantle of responsibility. We are humbled that We represent a land so rich with tradition and wealthy with art and lore.

We thank those who have worked on Our behalf to ensure Our care and comfort and those who have made the extra effort for Us in planning Our Coronation. We hope that the joy We hold is apparent to all and that a prevailing sense of celebration can continue throughout Our reign.

We ask that Our populace join Us, whenever possible. That you each find renewed vigor in the ceremony and courtesy that brought Us to the SCA. Play along with Us – enjoy both the revelry and solemnity that is court. We ask for early award recommendations (4 weeks lead) so We may provide ample time for Our scribes to prepare. Be mindful that courts occur on Our progress. It is these events which should be the focus for award recommendations. For those of you who have submitted recommendations – please, update your files so that those deserving gentles are able to reap the rewards of their efforts.

We seek bids from Our artisans for design of new regalia – matching plaque crowns for the entire Royal Family. It is Our wish to keep the work within the Kingdom. We will only seek outside bids if no other bid is found acceptable. Please submit all queries to the Mistress of Regalia for deadlines and see her missive for requirements.

May you each find joy within the light of the gentle arts, challenges of skill on the field and camaraderie among friends as the days grow longer.
