Fwd: [announce] Stormhold, 2 November: Ghastly ghouls, zombies and beasties bash

Sounds like a lot of fun! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Lochac Events via Lochac Announce <lochac-announce(a)lochac.sca.org> Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2025 at 4:09 pm Subject: [announce] Stormhold, 2 November: Ghastly ghouls, zombies and beasties bash To: <announce(a)lochac.sca.org> Ghastly ghouls, zombies and beasties bash Stormhold, 2 November Tournament Ghastly ghouls, zombies and beasties November Bash is filled with ghastly ghouls, ghosts and the undead. The undead approaches. We must beware and be ever vigilant, as we know they come near Samhain! Dress in your spookiest garb, or a period rendition of a creature of the night. Arts and Sciences competition theme is any concepts of death, afterlife, and/or undeath, any and all cultures welcome, any and all mediums welcome, be creative (documentation is nice if possible). Potluck picnic lunch is a Spookchuterie and I encourage all populace to bring their favourite spooky dishes and drinks to share. If you don’t have time to painstakingly craft your potions, concoctions, salume, or gustatory, to ward off the army of darkness, store bought is fine. The tournaments are to be a Zombie tournament filled with fighting, silliness and maybe extra limbs. The tournament in the first round, the fighters will be paired up like usual; A and B fight, and, say, B loses. He becomes a zombie, and is now A’s minion. In the next round A and B will fight C and D. The winning team captain now has three zombie minions, and they go on to face other teams of four in the next round. This continues until there is an overall winner. The basic rules: 1. Humans fight as normal. Zombies can be wounded/dismembered by blows to the arm or leg, but can only be killed by a blow to the head. 2. Zombies are not the brightest creatures–they tend to follow orders from their Zombie Master explicitly, but mindlessly. 3. These are “slow” zombies–they shamble and lurch around, not move at full combat speed. 4. Zombies are typically armed with some kind of blunt instrument: single sword or mace on the field. (maybe boffer or random foam limbs) 5. Double kills will be refought until there is a clear winner–we don’t want rogue zombies terrorizing the neighbourhood. Presuming we have enough boffers (soft, non-rigid items), the armoured and rapier tourneys will culminate in a grand, boffer-only melee for all the fighters. (If you’ve got boffer weapons, bring them out.) Populace will have a boffer tourney at the end to help kill all the zombies, if people are willing.

Applications for Fencing Marshal Now Open
by Krae Glas Seneschal 26 Sep '25

26 Sep '25

To the Barony of Krae Glas, her College and all those to whom this missive may come, greetings! For some time, our Barony has not had a Fencing Marshal. However, we are still keen on seeing fencing grow and flourish in Krae Glas. To that end, if you share that vision, please read the below information and consider applying to be our new Fencing Marshal (Rapier Officer). To be eligible, you must be a current SCA member who is 18 years or older and have reliable and responsive access to email and internet. In an effort to encourage applicants for this role, I (Rúna) thought that I would outline expectations to provide clarity and transparency on what the role requires: * The baseline expectation is to ensure fencing activities in Krae Glas are compliant with the current rules, which may include investigating any reported incidents; attend Council meetings, report monthly to Council and quarterly to your Seneschal and Kingdom, and finally uphold privacy and the SCA Code of Conduct * A good officer would be a marshal or train to be one during their tenure, encourage new authorisations and inexperienced fighters, keep track of loaner gear, and ensure the relevant tests have been done according to schedule * An excellent officer would come up with ideas to recruit and retain fencers, help coordinate training or pathways for newer fencers to come into the sport, promote the Guild of Defence as desired as an option, and liaise with the College to strengthen fencing across both groups Please note that offering training and being a marshal are not required to take this position. If you get this role, this suggests you are willing and able to do the minimum baseline. While your Barony would appreciate as much of your energy as you are willing to give when you have capacity, you would also be very able to do the minimum on some months and be more hands on when you can. Just be clear and communicate with us. You don't have to do everything yourself - know that you will be well supported by myself as Seneschal and a member of the rapier marshallate, our existing fencing community, our B&B and the Kingdom Rapier Marshal. 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 17 October 2025 to fencing(a)lochac.sca.org <mailto:fencing@lochac.sca.org> , with a courtesy copy to seneschal(a)kraeglas.lochac.sca.org <mailto:seneschal@kraeglas.lochac.sca.org> .. Please include your SCA membership number, a brief history of your time as a member of the rapier community (combatant, marshal, supporter or otherwise) any relevant experience, why you would like to take on the role and any plans or ideas you would seek to enact if successful in winning the role. If you would like to know more about the job, or to discuss how you see yourself taking it forward, I would love to hear from you! In service to the art of defence, Lady Rúnfríðr Keiliselgr New Officer Progress: Applications Opened <<< we are here (closes 17 October 2025) Consideration Period Shortlist for Commentary Consultation Period Notice to Candidates & Scheduling Confirmation & Handover schedule

Fwd: [announce] The Tale of Spring Crown and the Arts
by Marg Henley 09 Sep '25

09 Sep '25

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: KMoAS via Lochac Announce <lochac-announce(a)lochac.sca.org> Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2025 at 1:16 pm Subject: [announce] The Tale of Spring Crown and the Arts To: Lochac Announce <lochac-announce(a)lochac.sca.org> I have a tale to tell of Spring Crown in Stormhold... The month was September, the season Spring and a time of renewal for the Kingdom. The holiday began fairly, and many were they who flocked to Stormhold, willing to try their luck in combat or in the gentler arts. The Crown was to be contested, and the mettle of our makers also. The company was excellent, the fashions exemplary and the food divine. There was even coffee. For the artisans of Lochac, sadly, the fates were against us. Arrangements fell like sheaves before the scythe. The tables were filled with the works of our brightest stars, yet they sat unattended for too many hours...a few hardy souls, called to battle against the odds, could make but little headway. As time passed, the weather only got wilder, unlooked-for demands took control of circumstances, and at the last, it was impossible to finish the task. The people dispersed across the Kingdom once more, taking their goods with them. They left no trace behind, but an emptiness where bells might have sounded. *** Greetings, Lochac! Unfortunately, the tale of woe with which I started is all too pertinent. There were as many entrants in the Arts & Sciences as in the Crown Tourney itself, which is a fantastic turnout! I understand many beautiful things were on display. However, all the arrangements for judging came to grief somehow, and could not be well remedied on the day...and then there was some serious Weather to be managed, causing a flurry which took all the attention from other things. It became impossible to announce results or give prizes during the event. I apologize that things have not gone to plan. I acknowledge the work everyone did, before and during the weekend, and I appreciate the courtesy and understanding which was employed by numerous people in trying circumstances. There were those who did their best to amend the situation - for their efforts, despite all impediments, to make this Spring round of the Lochac A&S Championship run successfully, many thanks go to: Lady Ysabel Norrice Magnifica Ginevra Lucia di Namoraza Lord Angus Galloway Mistress Clara Bone-Aventure Count Jayne Hunter Given the general confusion, and the fact that I was not myself present, there may have been other good people who contributed here - if I have missed someone, to them also, much thanks. As the dust settles, I find that we have very little information. I have no records from the judging that was done, so I'm relying on all of you to help me here. We still want to allocate everyone's scores towards the Championship, and this now becomes a job for the electronic age. Each person who had an entry in the Arts and Sciences competition at September Crown is asked to send a digital copy of it to me. This applies however your entry was judged (or not) on the day! I hope all the original participants will be able to do this. If you just *meant *to enter, or had something *nearly *ready, please don't add yourself to the competition at this stage. Similarly to an invalidated Crown Tourney, we want to reproduce the original circumstances as closely as possible. Two weeks are now assigned for people to digitalise and send their entries in. After that time, I will organise for them to be judged, if need be, or I will collate the scores and record them for the Championship. Announcements will be made, and prizes awarded as normal (just somewhat delayed!). If you were one of the entrants, here is what is needed: *Scans or clear photographs of:* - your *completed entry form* (including all the scoring and feedback pages, if they were used) - any *documentation* you presented. - the *entry *itself. Send all these to the KMoAS email (artsandsciences(a)lochac.sca.org) as soon as you can, and in any case before the end of *Wednesday 24th September*. If your entry was not a photographable object, or there is any other reason you can't send it electronically, please contact me as soon as possible, to see if we can find another way for your entry to be included. We want to get the best possible result for everyone. If you have any concerns about this process, please reach out to me and we can talk things through. Sincerely...with my fixing hat on... -- In service, Dame Joan Sutton, KMoAS Lochac ----------- The SCA Kingdom of Lochac Announcements List ----------- To post an announcement send an email to announce(a)lochac.sca.org To unsubscribe send an email to lochac-announce-leave(a)lochac.sca.org For other lists visit https://lochac.sca.org/mailing-lists/
