ting up, cooking, and

running a smooth event

that was a great intro-

duction to the SCA for

many new members and

their families - the most

at a single event that

we've seen in a while!

As we begin the 2016-17

event season, let us seek

out and thank those who

volunteer to work as

event staff. A moment of

your praise, an offer to

help, or even to learn

what they're doing to one

day try it out for yourself

can inspire them to grow

as a teacher, a mentor,

and a volunteer them-

selves.

After the passing of Hur-

ricane Matthew, enjoy

the coming autumn

days, catch up on your

yard work, and gird

yourselves for Panhandle

Unto the Populace of the

great Barony of Oldenfeld

and all who see these

words, do we offer warm

greetings in the name of

Their Royal Majesties;

Summer has come to an

end just in time for our

beautiful Harvest event

and the new event season

is begun, even as the

southern sea hurls a fi-

nal great storm in our

direction! It is the season

where our Meridian

neighbors begin to agitate

on the border and we hope

that everyone remains

ever vigilant and ready

to share our fun with our

friends across the border

:-)

We are grateful to the

Event Stewards for Har-

vest, Charles and Aure-

lia, for their work in se-

curing the new site, set-

Skirmishes!

Hail Oldenfeld!

Missive From Your Seneschal

Greetings unto the popu-

lace and friends of Olden-

feld!

As the fall event season

cranks into gear, we will

be a very busy Barony!

Our next local event will

be Harvest, which will be

a daytrip event held at

Tall Timbers (in north-

east Tallahassee) on Octo-

ber 1. The event will be a

Harvest Festival, with

games of strength, skill,

and strategy in which

all can take part. There

will be plenty of activi-

ties for adults and kids,

followed by a buffet-

style, Oktoberfest-themed

feast. I hope to see you

there!

We are also running

Martinmas Moot/Fall

Crown Lyst at Camp La

Llanada on the weekend

of November 11 – 13.

Though La Llanada is

quite a drive for us, the

camp itself is a wonder-

ful, compact site with

many great amenities. If

you are willing to assist

with the event in any

way, please let me know!

Duke Ardien will likely

need a hand at the reser-

vations desk, we still need

someone to lead the sani-

tation crew, and there

are always things that

come up at each event

that need to be handled.

Castlemere is running

gate for us, but I’m sure

they would appreciate

volunteers as well. If you

are interested in attend-

ing but can’t get to the

event yourself or just

don’t want to make the

trip alone, check with

others for carpool opportu-

nities. Feel free to post

carpool offers/requests on

the email lists and Olden-

feld Populace Facebook

page.

Panhandle Skirmishes is

also quickly approach-

ing. It will be at Compass

Lake, on the weekend of

November 3 – 5. Though

the Shire of Flintmarsh is

running the event this

year, they will likely

need and definitely ap-

preciate any assistance

we can provide. I’ve been

in touch with the event

stewards and will relay

information to Oldenfeld-

ers as I get it. Reserva-

tions are open, so I recom-

mend you check with

their reservationist about

cabin space sooner than

later, as it always sells

out in advance of the

event.

I am still seeking event

bids for local events next

year. If you are interested

in any aspect of event

management, please con-

tact me. Even if you

don’t have a theme or

Microsoft

Page 2 September 2016, AS 51

staff, I may be able to assist

in coordinating a complete

bid. If you have “outside the

box” ideas for an event, I

welcome them as well! Even

though we are still mourn-

ing the loss of Camp Indian

Springs, this can be a great

opportunity for us to explore

new ideas.

Finally, and probably most

importantly, the ballots are

being mailed from the King-

dom Seneschal. Please make

sure to vote and mail your

ballots back! There is more

information in this edition

of Oldentales regarding the

voting process including

dates by which ballots need

to be received by the King-

dom.

And as always, thank you

all for your time, participa-

tion, and service!

Yours in service to the dream,

HL Aurelia Cassia

Oldenfeld, but we will get

through it.

As we move towards finding a

(or several) new event sites, it

is my hope that everyone

continue to pitch in to help

keep Oldenfeld events so suc-

cessful. Perhaps Camp Warri-

or, under the same manage-

ment as the previous Camp

Indian Springs proves to be

successful for us.
