Greetings, Midrealm!
We are underway with the new year, and progress is looking good! We have some exciting stuff coming up, and I KNOW you’re going to be as excited as I am about it.
Equestrian is looking for some events in Pentamere that could support having equestrian activities. We are planning on having continuing education on disease identification and management. We all get colds, and equines do too, so let’s help them stay healthy as much as we try to keep ourselves healthy.
Fighting will be having refresher courses on authorization procedures. I know that seems silly, but there are enough reports of things getting skipped in order to fast track the process. This is not ok – the handbooks tell you exactly what you should be doing IN ITS ENTIRETY. With that, we will also be looking at making some instructional videos on the authorization process and how to run a list. If you have any ideas or wish to help, please contact [email protected].
Combat archery will be doing another push to increase numbers, so please consider reaching out if your site is big enough to host some melees there are people who would love to shoot with you! Target archery marshals will have some continued education on new material so that our handbook falls in line with the Society handbook.
Youth rapier will have a new handbook coming out shortly. One big issue we are having with youth rapier is the lack of opportunities for youth to participate. If you are a youth marshal, PLEASE try to take some time out and let the youth have a chance to fight.
Aaaannnd… because of the new schedule, reports are due. ALL group marshals are due to report on Feb 1, Regionals on Feb 15, Kingdom Deputy on March 1. I know it feels like you just did a report, but it will even out in time for the next cycle.
As always, aim true and fight with honor,
Baron Robert Thorne, OP
Kingdom Earl Marshal, Middle Kingdom
