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

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

---------- 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.
