Chess Challenge 17 wrap up and thanks
by Miriam Staples 08 Mar '26

08 Mar '26

So the Chess Challenge has been wrapped up for this year! There were 5 rapier fighters, with a Stormhold win. There were 8 heavy fighters, with Baron Leif the Heavy Chess Champion. The Chess Challenge Champion is Will from St Monica siding with Stormhold in a hard fought game of Chess again the Krae Glas Challenger Benjamin. Huzzah to all who fought in this competition between the baronies! My many thanks go to Lady Medb for helping me with the paperwork and taking of money, Sir Hanbal for being MiC, all the Marshals that helped on the day (Jon, Margie, Seumas and everyone else that I missed), and Baroness Ute for her tourney heraldry. Thanks to all that attended. I truly never thought my idea of the Chess Challenge would become such a fixture in our calendars when I thought I up all those years ago. I have no doubt that the Challenge will continue to do so, but would love to see how it can be improved! I'm happy to discuss the event with anyone interested & even help them if any good gentle would like to try to run the event themselves. Now onward to Rowany Festival & the William Marshal Memorial event! Yours, Miriam bat Shimeon Event steward

by Marg Henley 08 Mar '26

08 Mar '26

As our very close neighbours, and bearing in mind that many of our populace are also active in a Stormhold, I am sharing these words regarding the Stormhold baronial succession. Baroness Margie. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jean-Christophe le Saussier via Stormlist <stormlist(a)lochac.sca.org> Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2026 at 9:11 pm Subject: [Stormlist] Baronial Succession - Candidates Announced! To: <stormlist(a)lochac.sca.org> Cc: Jean-Christophe le Saussier <stormholdsuccession2026(a)gmail.com> Good evening Stormhold! Pray, heed my words on behalf of Their Majesties Konungr Þorvaldr and Dróttning Amabilia! So it went that the ending date for self nomination to succeed Their Excellencies Stormhold came, and Their Majesties reviewed the words of those who would stand and found them acceptable. Thus, it is my pleasure to name *Lord Angus Galloway* (known also as Alex Davis) and *Lord Raw Pengwyne* (known also as Akiva Anderson) as those who would stand to be named by Their Majesties as Baronage Stormhold. I include their Letter of Intent (with personal contact information removed and including photographs for those who are better at knowing faces than names) at the following link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/187-ZaZ3J3iPwhetFWBBT8dsr_zEMoNTT/view?usp=… We now enter a time of contemplation. A series of "Meet and Greet" sessions will be organised, both in person and online, over the coming weeks, to give the populace a chance to ask questions and have the candidates answer them. If you would like to have any questions asked anonymously, please email them to myself at stormholdsuccession2026(a)gmail.com. Additionally, if there are any areas of concern within the Barony you would like the candidates to address directly, please also send them to me. Following the "Meet and Greet" sessions, a poll of the Populace will be conducted. Further missives will be forthcoming with information on this. I Remain, Faithfully In Service to the Crown and Kingdom of Lochac Maistre Jean-Christophe le Saussier, Companion of the Order of the Pelican _______________________________________________ You could also check out our webpage - http://stormhold.lochac.sca.org/ Stormlist mailing list -- stormlist(a)lochac.sca.org To unsubscribe send an email to stormlist-leave(a)lochac.sca.org
