They would like to use the archery site for Lord Defender on July 26. A suggestion was made that BaO contribute to the effort of range maintenance. They donated 10% of profits from last year and plan to do so again. Decision was delayed pending discussion with the archery community because they would not be able to practice that day.

Our Archery community is invited to manage the range at Autumn War/Emprise. There would be an option to buy into the event if desired. At this point, they need to know if there is interest in moving forward.Tymme suggested putting the question forward to our archery community to see if there is a Marshal who would be interested. Myskia clarified that an answer will be needed by BaO’s March business meeting.

Canton of Wyldewode

Greetings Wyewood!
 
As you may heard there is a new branch being created in the Kingdom of Ansteorra. This Canton wishes to be called Wyldewode and as their name is similar to Wyewood, they have requested permission of the heralds (and of us) to do so. Wyewood being a group of generous gentles has not only overwhelmingly said yes, but there have been requests (dare I say demands) that they be known as our sister branch.  
 
I am putting together a package of gifts for Her Excellency to take with her to Gulf Wars and deliver to a representative from (the now incipient) Canton of Wyldewode. I am accepting any and all donations for our cousins to the east. These are to be gifts for members of the populace.
I also have a book into which you are invited to write your own words to this new branch; they may be words of welcome, wishes of prosperity, a favorite memory of the SCA, or a beautiful drawing. I am touched by those that have already penned their entry. I will have this book with me at the FCS on February 10th and the meeting on February 24th. If you are unable to attend any of those meetings and would like a message included, please send it to me via email (lady.liadain @ outlook.com) and I will be sure that it is included.
