December 1st, 2018 From the Baron and Baroness
Unto the noble populace of Terra Pomaria do Weylyn and Lindis, your proud Baron and Baroness, do send warm greetings. On this chilly November day we find ourselves filled with the warmth that comes from the joyful service we see every day in this community. The summer was filled with laugh-ter, new ideas, arts, demonstrations of marshal skill, and new friends. As we turn to winter we look for-ward to a slower pace and spending time feasting and growing closer as a group through attendance at Ceilidhs, Arts and Sciences night, Scribal classes, Fighting, Rapier, and Archery Practices, and the many other activities the Barony has to offer.The winter also brings our tenure as your Baron and Baroness to a close. We will be stepping down at Bar Gemels in April of 2019. We encourage all who are interested in becoming the next Baron and Bar-oness to reach out to us and the surrounding coro-nets with any questions you may have. We have grown tremendously in our time as Baron and Bar-oness and we are excited to see what the future holds for the best Barony in the Known World.
Yours in joyful service,
Weylyn and Lindis
Baron and Baroness of Terra Pomaria

told that the biff in question is one of their newer models that they are not really selling at this time, if they did it would be about $550. If we wanted to trade it for an older model it would range from $325-$375.
I received an email from Adiantum's Seneschal regarding a shared event we had with them on the Reserved Calen-dar: Prelude to War. They propose to release that weekend and hold the weekend for our new joint event in October and they would like to use that weekend (in March?) for their own event. I support this proposal
Demos –Fortune nothing to report Social Media –Ymanie

Family Activities Coordinator – Duvessa
I've spent the past couple of months getting paperwork caught up scanned and emailed to the right places and people.
tokens were ordered for the backorder of what wasn't delivered at Egils in May and now I think everything is caught up. I do still need to get some mentors signed up and order men-tor medalions jewelry 1 and textiles 1 but we have everything else.
At Bear and Apple Tavern Thiery Dailey earned Dance 1 and Rapier 1 (paperwork needs scanned and emailed but I have it ready to go)
We need to get into the mentor data-base and update fortunes information, she isn't able to add or update any-thing that is already in there, neither is anyone else. Also, parents are having a hard time figuring out how to navigate through the system to find a mentor.
Parents are also struggling with how hard some of the division 1 require-

Officer reports: Seneschal – Zulaikha–
This past month we had the new event of Championships at the Bear and Ap-ple Tavern, along with the Barony of Adiantum, which was also my first event as Seneschal. I will let Gwyneth cover the details, but from my side I thought it ran very well.
We settled a contract for a new site to use for Ceilidh. Our first Ceilidh of the year went well and people seemed pleased with the site. I even heard chatter about potentially using it for other events in the future. Thank you to HL Alyna Trewpeny for directing us to this site.
I was contacted by Sir William that ACE Chemical Toilets did finally find that the lone biff that has been at Stone-henge is one of theirs that they forgot to pick up. We have a few options for this. 1) We have them come pick it up and that's that. 2) HL Ursalee has the option to purchase it. And 3) The Baro-ny has the option to purchase it. As far as purchasing goes, I contacted ACE today to inquire on pricing and was

In the last month we held our Baronial Rapier Championship. The field had 7 entrants with 2 fighters challenging the field in a French Masters style round robin tournament. The tournament was humbly won by Santinus Contarini. The report for the tournament was completed by the person running lists on site and turned in to the event steward.
Minister of the List-Peder Nothing to report Target Archery Marshal – Duncan
Archery and Thrown Weapons is going well with between 6 and 23 a night over the last month.
We held our Golden Arrow tourney on Oct 30th. We had a Halloween theme this time and the winner was Zulaikha!!! She will put on the next tourney sometime in December.
Equestrian Marshal – Tassi-
Practice last saturday was the last practice of the year
Nothing else to report Youth Armored Combat – VACANT- Nothing to report. Accepting applicants, please send an email to the seneschal and their Excellencies expressing your interest in the position. Herald – Marcus –
This last month i did two consultations at bear and apple tavern. There was also a heralds point at the event. Its was sort of a busy event with town cries happening, and heralds point. Plus the roving courts. One of the consults needed more work after the event, and that is still a work in progress.
Arts and Sciences – Ulf
October did not have an A&S meeting due to the number of classes that were scheduled for the Championships at the Bear and Apple Tavern. This event also hosted the Baronial Arts and Sci-ences championship. We had several good entries and a competition that was well run by Kenji. The new cham-pion is Nest verch Alan.
ments seem to be so I am planning on having a get together possibly in Decem-ber where we can sit down and go through one of the achievements and explain how to do level 1 with parents who are having problems getting through it.
we currently have additional people in tp who are interested in being men-tors but they're not sure what all is required. we also have people who are willing to teach different things but not be mentors so i am working on a list for the summits area in general of who is willing to teach different things (this is partof what i'm working on as being a summits A&S deputy also).
Quite a lot of what goes into the yafa program ties directly into A&S and martial activities.
Mountains Edge is now part of sum-mits and I have been contacted regard-ing working on the yafa program getting kicked off up there. they have kids and interested parents and even equestrian people but weren't sure how exactly to do this. so i will be tak-ing a trip up there soonish with ulf so we can help them figure it out.
as far as i can tell an tir summits and terra pomaria are the most active are-as in yafa worldwide with the most participants an tokens achieved. Now that we have kids working on level 2 achievements it is taking longer for things to get done, so reporting is a lot of (nothing to report, working on pa-perwork things are happening). but since i'm not mentoring everything that is happening i don't know exactly where people are on which steps of which things.
it has been asked if a database can be created where parents can comment on the worksheets, however having experience in working with the yac handbook a database for open commenting was a nightmare. I have suggested that people write down suggestions of things that need
worked on on the worksheets and ei-ther bring them or send them to 12th night and we can compile everything together. Also there is a forum for this to happen. Basically the program is working, it has some bumps the web-site is kind of hard to work with but everything is going and people are ex-cited.

I am still working on resolving the changes to the signer card and hope to have it changes by the new year. Bear and Apple expenses have been paid, there is $2318.13 in revenue that has yet to be deposited. The barony's percentage of the profit was $853.67.
I will be putting together the annual budget for next year for approval by the financial committee's approval. If you have a need for an increase in budget for your office please let me know by the December cailidh.

-BREAK- Past Events – Bear and Apple Event Steward -HL Gwyneth Blackthorne ran this event with assistance from the Adiantum li-ason Lord Antonious Rath. There were some communication difficulties, some confusion surrounding division of labor, some cultural differences between the two baronies. But the event ran smooth-ly and was a success both financially and for the Baronies. I am in favor of contin-uing the event in the future, though I would suggest clearer division of labor and needs. The financial statement is attached, both Baronies came away with a profit of $850, meaning there was an overall profit of $1700 which is nothing to sneeze at. That doesn’t even include the $1018 raised for the Campership Program from our Silent Auction fund-raiser. Terra Pomaria is the single largest donor the Camp has for this program. It has been suggested that further fund-raising efforts focus on their kitchen needs. Pre-Reg Coordinator – HL Mindy of Terra Pomaria ran pre-reg smoothly, including adding in the new PayPal pre-reg abilities which I feel upped the num-ber of pre-registrations. I look forward to continuing this program in the future and including the PayPal at gate option as well. There was some confusion with the laying out of the pre-reg sheets at gate (alphabetization was problematic)
The November A&S day will be Sunday the 25th. With only a month until Christmas I will be teaching a wood carving class. In this class we will be carving a Santa ornament. I encour-age everyone to head to the up com-ing Summits A&S and Kingdom A&S events. These are excellent opportuni-ties to learn and share knowledge.

Grete Boke -VACANT-
Nothing to report. Accepting appli-cants, please send an email to the sen-eschal and their Excellencies express-ing your interest in the position.
Web Minister –Adele
This month HL Kenji and I have shared the duties related to Web Minister as I transition into the office. He's been incredibly supportive and helpful, which is greatly appreciated. For the time being, he's continuing to manage the Skype / video conferencing at Busi-ness Meetings, and I'm grateful that he's willing to spearhead the project.
We have a new Social Media Officer, and I look forward to working along-side her.
I've made a few minor updates to the website, including uploading the Privy, removing Site Meter (as promised), and touching up some of the existing pages.
The Gatherings page has been rear-ranged so the items are in alphabetical order, and reformatted the paragraphs so addresses for the locations are easy to find. Updated location information for Ceilidh.
The Newcomers page has been touched up. The pictures were broken and I wasn't able to track them down, so they've been removed altogether. Also added an additional paragraph of text, encouraging new-comers to attend a local gathering, rather than just contacting officers. It's also been added to the navigation.
I've received verbal requests from pop-ulace about things they'd like to see on the website. One I would like to see happen is more recipes added to the Culinary page. I invited them to submit their recipes, and they assured me they will, along with photos. We'll see if that materializes. In the mean-time, I'm considering reaching out to other members of the Barony who have culinary skills to see if they are interested in adding to the page.
And finally, the official website for An Tir launched recently, and I was thrilled to see it's in WordPress. It's a good sign that the servers we are on can support WordPress, and I'm fairly confi-dent that rebuilding the Ter-ra Pomaria website is very much an option. At this point the current web-site is stable, but dated. Of course I would like to completely revamp the content and design, but prefer to wait until we relaunch on the new platform.
Chatelaine – Luther
For the month of November the only thing to report is the new Celidh site and successful first meeting. The first meeting gathered a showing of 25+ people and generated excitement for our new site. Plans have been generate for next months event.

reg open in August I think our numbers would have been improved. The fault for that lies solely at my feet. Kitchen Steward – HL Nai Martyn ran a fantastic kitchen, the meal were delicious and well planned. Everything came in under budget. There were some difficulties with the Camp Taloali equipment which is in des-perate need of replacement, but every-thing went well. Gate Steward – These duties were split between HL Anna von Engelberg and Lord Stefan the Peasant. Gate ran smoothly, was always staffed. Lord Stef-an provided snacks and refreshments. The site tokens created by HE Ainslee were well received. Marshal In Charge – Lord Antoni-us Rath served as Marshal in Charge. There were some difficulties in that the Thrown Weapons Defender failed to bring the promised gear and there was a lack of planned marshals for the Heavy combat, but all was fixed as HL Dun-can McKai fetched and delivered Ter-ra Pomaria’s Thrown Weapons gear and Master Eoghan O’Briain filled in as a heavy marshal for the tournament. Ter-ra Pomaria’s Rapier championship ran smoothly under Master Eoghan and HL Alaina at Lists. HL Alaina has served as Lists Mistress for the last three events in Terra Pomaria and each time has per-formed well and completed her reports before the end of the event. Hl Alaina is a treasure. Championships – Rapier – New Rapier champion is Santinus Contarini Arts and Sciences – New Arts and Scienc-es Champion is Nest verch Alan AD Heavy – New Adiantum Heavy Cham-pion is Viscount Sir Kenric Maur AD Thrown Weapons – New Adiantum Thrown Weapons Champion is HL Dun-can McKai AD Bardic – New Adiantum Bardic Cham-pion is Iuri Victorev Belagorski Classes – There were 20 something clas-
ses and most were moderately attended. I think with more advance notice of what the classes were and what they con-tained that attendance would have been greatly improved. Upcoming events: Ceilidh

September saw the changeover from HL Gwyneth Black-thorne to Zulaikha al-Zarqa' as the Barony's Seneschal.
It was brought to our attention that our traditional weekend for Bar Gemels is also Easter weekend in 2019, so we submitted a request to move to the weekend following to King-dom Calendar, which was accepted. This means that Bar Gemels 2019 is to be
held on April 26-28 2019.
The announcement relating to the polling of Terra Pomaria for new barons/baronesses was submitted for release in the Crier. Letters of intent will be due December 1st to Their Excellencies' email, as well as the Seneschal's.

Seeking seuccessor for my position
At this time I have continued to up-date the webpage as information is available to me. I have also found some of the errors that have been plaguing me for these last few months and have corrected them. Tonight we should have 2 possible candidates for this office, both are very qualified for this position and would be able to take our website into realms that I am unable. They do both have a different approach to how they wish to manage the webpage that I request they address to this group. The selection of my successor will not only pass the reigns of our web presence to anoth-er person but will determine how we want our web presence to be man-aged in the future. Chatelaine-Luther

approved at July Cor 2020) The expecta-tion is that Kingdom will select a region for which the event will take place, and, hopefully, have a list of acceptable sites for each region. That way the approved Event Steward will be able to determine the best site in that region for the individ-ual event. It will be very possible that an Event Steward will not be local to the event. Apparently, other Kingdoms have been using this method successfully. What this means to induvial branches is that we will have no oversight to the run-ning of the event as Kingdom will be han-dling all the monies and supervision. As far as money goes, all reimbursements and checks will be released by Kingdom. They are looking into the probability of setting up an Events Account with a spe-cific Deputy for this purpose and all check requests will have to be made by mailing, possibly emailing, a check request form to the Exchequer (or the Events Deputy), with the check being mailed out by them to the recipient. To answer the question of profit sharing: the 40% profit share that would normally go to the hosting branch, would now be split up amongst the branches that actively volunteer for the event. Each individual volunteer will de-clare for whom they are representing. Then the percentage breakdown of volun-teer effort will determine the branches' portions. – CLARIFICATION HAS BEEN RE-QUESTED AND WILL BE FORTHCOMING
Our Alpine Prince and Princess will be at Acorn War this coming weekend, and they will officially welcome Mountain Edge into the Summits. They asked all who were able to attend to come and welcome our new sister group.
I am leaving this position with a wealth of knowledge I will always treasure. Hold-ing this office has been a fantastic learn-ing experience, I am thankful for the skills I've acquired, and the faith placed in me. I feel as if being with you, all working to-gether to serve our Populace, has made me a more complete and well-rounded person.

Gwyneth., We have had many conversa-tions and you have grown tremendously in the SCA and outside. You are many things and the motivator and cheerleader for the Barony. We are excited to see what you do in the future. -Lindis
Thank you to Gwyneth for everything. You have grown and have become a great friend. Change is good, but I will look back on you being our seneschal with great fondness. I would like you have my

This month has been focused on gather-ing the Seneschal accoutrements that I’ve scattered in my 27 months holding this office. Getting ready to hand over the reins to my successor Zulaikha, in whom I have every faith.
Synapsis of September Crown Sene-schal’s Meeting (kindly notated by Eoghan O’Briain of Dragon’s Mist) -
Officers can be reimbursed for "continuing education" event expenses if the branch's financial policy specifically states it and/or the financial committee approves the expenditure. Of course, that means that the officer must spend the majority of the event taking the classes that they are sent to take but are free to pursue other interests if a class is not available for their position at any given time. (e.g.: a time slot between 2-4 has no exchequer classes, then the exchequer may take a rapier class during that time) Also, this means that deputies can be sent to these events and reimbursed if the financial committee approves the ex-penditure. There was also a clarification that these expenditures should be ratified by the branch populace. However, I think that that is specific to the branches' finan-cial polity.
2) Starting with July Coronation next year, Kingdom is piloting a new Crown event policy where Kingdom, as the branch, will be hosting the event. Approx-imately 18 months out from the fu-ture event, they will be taking applica-tions for the Event Steward. Applications will include basic eventing resume, vision for the event, rough idea of staffing and activities/schedule, etc. Once an Event Steward is chosen, that individual will create the event budget, and have it pre-pared for approval at the Crown event the year prior. (e.g.: for July coronation 2021, the application process begins at 12th Night 2020, and event budget to be

Other than the heat, we have been hav-ing a successful season.
I have now had thru donations of used gear from his excellency Weylyn better looking kits and adding a 4th smaller thin kit. Many repairs are in process de-rusting some smaller parts, repairing reshaping demi gauntlets. I will be able to add a smaller pair of full gauntlets soon as I dish out some thumbs.
Attended Marshal meeting at Crown list emphasis was on communications, en-suring the transfer to antir.org email. Deputies for the kingdom are promoted. There was a mention of a rapier blade that is now illegal. Attached are the cur-rent quarter rosters.

When I was first approached for this office I was terrified and convinced I would fail completely. But the faith, sup-port, and encouragement I have found among our officer family will stay with me forever. While I was far from the perfect Seneschal, I truly did my best, and I know those efforts were appreciat-ed. Despite the growing pains, personal stress, panic attacks, and mad fumbling, I truly believe that this is one of the best offices to hold. It certainly opened my eyes to an aspect of my Joy in the SCA.
I've learned how to take direction, criti-cism, suggestions, and compliments. These are four things I wasn't so great at taking before, and now I feel as though I can apply that in many different situa-tions. The interpersonal skills I have found, the appreciation for our differing backgrounds and cultures are valuable lessons that have opened my eyes to the world around me.
I've also learned to be open-minded, to value other people's opinions and to consider other ideas along with mine, to end up with a great result.
Being part of this team has taught me skills that I can use in more than just the professional area of my life. My relation-ships on a personal level are in a better place than they were, thanks to some of the things I've learned from many of you.
I've come to realize that being a part of a team is a lot more than just sharing credit. A team effort takes compromise. When you are on a team you must at times lead, follow, and more often than not, meet in the middle.
My wish for everyone here is that you all continue to experience success, to feel fulfilled in all you do, and to have nothing but pleasant results with each completed task! While that may be an overly optimistic wish, it is sincere. The combined efforts of this council are awe inspiring and capable of changing the world. At least our small corner of it.
It's been a pleasure working here and I
will truly miss it. I take with me fond memories, valuable skills, and I hope to one day leave an impression on others like the one you have left on me. I’m not certain where exactly I’ll land but I strongly doubt I can stay away for very long.
I look forward to witnessing your future successes. Thank you for letting me be your Seneschal, and don’t worry I prom-ise I won’t go far. Terra Pomarian from the start, Terra Pomarian forever.
