Seeking new Quartermaster of Krae Glas
by Ysabel Norrice 01 Jan '25

01 Jan '25

Greetings! Are you a packing guru? Can you immediately place your hand on a stored item? Can you carry a carton of plates? Some - though not necessarily all - those abilities are needed in the next Quartermaster for Krae Glas. It's a behind-the-scenes job which can make running events and other activities easier for all concerned. So, if you have the following skills, consider becoming our next Quartermaster and pitch in. Key requirements: * You will need to be a current SCA member, 18 years or older * Reliable and responsive access to email and internet * Ability to keep on top of a variety of related administrative tasks (eg inventory, tracking items in use etc) You may not think that you are the right person for this job, but if your friends forward you a copy of this notice, pay attention to them! And if you know someone who you think would be good in the job, do them (and all of us) a favour - ask them to apply. Key elements of the job: * ensuring timely, appropriate access to storage and needed items * a willingness to keep track of who has what, to manage issues and returns If you have the muscles and the vehicle to transport needed items, that's great, but you don't have to do this job all yourself. You'll find more detailed information about this role in the Officer Job Descriptions Document at https://seneschal.lochac.sca.org/resources#officer Please send your applications by 20 January 2025 to seneschal(a)kraeglas.lochac.sca.org.

The old year draws to a close
by Marg Henley 31 Dec '24

31 Dec '24

As the calendar year comes to a close, we extend to our populace, our love and gratitude. We thank those of our populace who have served our Barony to ensure the prosperity the lands entrusted to us by the Crown of Lochac. We offer grateful thanks to our selfless officers but also we thank all of our members whose participation enriches the experience for all of us. We look back upon a year where we have become more firmly ensconced at Dolphin's Keep, where trainings have continued to equip our combatants with the skills required to defend our borders. We thank those who teach and those who hold the keys, both for archery and full contact combat. Many a meal has been prepared, and shared. We have greatly enjoyed these shared times with our populace: breaking bread together and warm camaraderie. We thank those who have stewarded events, and those who have visited to share their skills and knowledge with us. We thank our Cousins and neighbours who have offered us, and our Barony, unwavering support. We give love and appreciation to our wonderful collegians of St Monica. Your enthusiasm and energy brings vitality to those of us who are sometimes weighed down by our years. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you. And so, we look forward. As the old year closes, new experiences, challenges and opportunities arise before us. We bring with us some of our old traditions - Summer Twilight Series, Chess Challenge, Ironbeard Challenge and of course, Rowany Festival this Easter - but with the old we will welcome the new. We look forward to new Collegians as the academic year opens. We look forward to new ideas for events and activities. We look forward to learning new skills and knowledge. A Above all, we look forward to spending the new year with you, our populace. Wishing all happiness, health and prosperity for the year to come. Margie & Jon Baroness & Baron of Krae Glas.
