Fwd: [announce] Rowany Festival update

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Andrew Ross-Gowan via Lochac Announce <lochac-announce(a)lochac.sca.org> Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2025 at 1:03 pm Subject: [announce] Rowany Festival update To: <Lochac-Announce(a)lochac.sca.org> Greetings Lochac, We are only 8 weeks out from Rowany Festival! How are your preparations going? Firstly, a quick reminder that the cutoff for pre-gate pricing is in 3 weeks (16th of March). After this date we do accept bookings up to the 31st of March, but the price will be the same as that paid at the gate. Hire Equipment and Catering will also be closing on the 16th of Match. Booking after the final price rise is still helpful to the event, as the camping area is determined by booking numbers, so if your campsite doesn’t book, you will get a small allotment. Speaking of camping, can I please have all the camping site’s designated wardens who have not already contacted the stewarding team, please send an email to stewards(a)festival.lochac.sca.org. For those thinking of taking on the role, the Warden is the campsite’s contact person for the event stewards. They are the person who will receive any site updates and is also responsible for ensuring the campsite is left in a neat and tidy condition after the event. A draft timetable is now available! https://festival.lochac.sca.org/timetable This timetable is still in draft form, so there’s going to be modifications to it, however it should allow you to start planning your event out. Also, we have Steina Silfrsmiðr to thank for the refreshed Festival Website look. The SCA runs via Volunteers, and Festival is no different. If you are able to help out with the running of Festival for a few hrs, then please let us know. We have set up a ‘sign up’ site for people to put their names down. https://signup.com/go/HbmfMCX If you are willing to give up some of your time to run a kid’s activity or have ideas, please contact AronBjorn via mmayinan(a)gmail.com. The more fun we can give the kids, big and small, the better the whole event will be for everyone. We are also looking into running a Festival daily paper as inspired by the Southron Gaardian (spelling may vary). As such we’re looking for short articles, Jokes, Cartoons, etc that would be suitable. We are looking to have the paper delivered to campsites each morning, containing the various herald notices, Daily timetable highlights and interesting occurrences occurring on site. If you have anything that you feel may be interesting to the populus to read in the morning, please send it along to stewards(a)festival.lochac.sca.org, We are also interested in hearing from people who would like to help put the paper together during the event.

Life update from Ysabel
by Ysabel Norrice 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hello Everyone It's been a long 12 months for me, for all of us I think. But with my recent move to the far western suburbs, it is no longer feasible for me to maintain my post as Seneschal of Krae Glas. I have had some serious family issues along with my continuing health complications that have been a drain on my energy. I do not feel as though I have the spoons (or spell slots) to give the Barony the attention it deserves. My wonderful deputy Runa, supported by myself and Airdin (though I have full faith in Runas skills!) is going to be Acting Seneschal of Krae Glas until the recruitment and selection process can be run to find my replacement. Thank you all for your help and support while I filled this role. It's been an honour. I'm not disappearing completely! Please feel free to come and chat with me as normal. I'll still be around, and happy to help where I can. Ysabel Norrice -- Madam Ysabel Norrice (she/her) Seneschal of the Barony of Krae Glas Kingdom of Lochac MKA Rebecca Taylor

High Tide Bookings Close TOMORROW NIGHT!
by Matt Curran 12 Feb '25

12 Feb '25

Greetings all! We will be closing booking for High Tide TOMORROW NIGHT (Thursday 13th of February)! This is to allow our kitchen time to prepare. Bunks are now full, but you can still book for camping and for day tripping until tomorrow night. This is a Royal event with His Majesty, King Kitan of Lochac attending. Why is our little war getting a Royal visit you may ask? Well, that would be to evelevate Her Excellency, Baroness eleanora de la Birche into the Order of the Pelican! So should you wish to witness the elevation of eleanora, or maybe just drink and feast with friends, or maybe even face His Majesty of the field, then BOOK NOW! https://stormhold.lochac.sca.org/high-tide-tides-of-war/ YiSBaron Leif and Lord Hamish Brennanson, event stewards.

Fwd: [announce] Rowany Festival Constabulary Volunteering
by Marg Henley 10 Feb '25

10 Feb '25

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Simon Miller via Lochac Announce <lochac-announce(a)lochac.sca.org> Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2025 at 8:56 am Subject: [announce] Rowany Festival Constabulary Volunteering To: lochac-announce(a)lochac.sca.org <lochac-announce(a)lochac.sca.org> Good morning Lochac As you are no doubt well aware Rowany Festival is but a pair of weeks away! I am this years event Constable and I am reaching out in the search for volunteers to join me in ensuring the safety of the years busiest event. Volunteering as a Constable is far from onerous. You get a chance to travel the site, meet people from distant lands, spend some time with them and make new friends. You won't be asked to do anything you aren't comfortable with, mostly you'll deal with fire safety, the occasional noise complaint and perhaps the odd child who has slipped the constraints of their parents or siblings. My Deputy and I, depending on how we arrange our personal shifts will always be available to assist should anything pop up that requires more experience and the entire Festival stewarding team will no doubt also be there to step up. While it will be handy to have an idea who may volunteer prior to the event, all I really ask is that people consider having a go and sign up once you get to site. Bring friends, encourage your newcomers to try it out, as I said it is a great way to meet new people and learn where everything is on site.
