Letter from the Senseschal

Good Gentles of Caer Mear, Greetings from the Seneschal:

Summer has come to an end and the Winds of Autumn are blowing. They

drive us into our homes and give notice of the coming winter. And so we

prepare for feasts and fellowship.

Soon approaches our annual gathering of Yule. Please join us on Sun-

day, December 11th for this year’s celebration of family and friends. Lord

Henricus has planned what will undoubtedly be an excellent afternoon

and evening.

This winter will also be a time for us to reflect on the direction our Barony

will take in the coming years. Yes, we must again advise Their Majesties

and Their Highnesses on whom we feel will best represent Them as

Baronage of Caer Mear.

Candidates have come forward and I have sought the advice of the

Atlantian Royals. To ensure that your voice is heard, you should verify

that the Society has your correct address and that your membership is

up to date. You must be a paid member of the SCA in order to receive a

polling letter per Kingdom Law.

To this end, we have proposed to The Royals that our investiture be held

at Ruby Joust VI. However, we are in need of an event steward for Ruby

Joust. If you have thought about running the event or are planning to

submit a bid, please let me know. Help will be provided to any who need

help with the event proposal or what do to.

Thank you all for your continued support of our great Barony. Have a safe

and happy holiday season.

Yours In Service,

Lord Hjörr Guðmundson

Seneschal, Barony of Caer Mear
