Impact of the Rain on the Tuesday 10/26 Practices
Fighting Practice May Be Is Cancelled. Check back at Noon on 10/26
From the Provincial Knight Marshal
“Hi Friends.
It has been a long wet summer. Tonight there is prediction of a long wet night and day. I happen to be scheduled to be awake from now until fighter practice time, and if the rain comes down as predicted, I should be able to make an unequivocal decision by noon. Then I will sleep through practice time.”
UPDATE: “After the rain I walked through this morning, and the amount predicted over the next 8 hours, I am calling it.
Anyone who wished to engage in unauthorized armored mud sumo may do so at their own pleasure. I will be sleeping.”
Fencing Practice is Cancelled.
From the Provincial Fencing Captain
“Greetings All,
“I think it would be prudent to cancel fencing practice for tonight in Brooklyn. See you next week.
In Service,
Alec MacLachlan”
Dance Practice is Cancelled
From the Whyt Whey Seneschal
“The rain that’s started in the Province this evening is predicted to continue into Wednesday, with a 98% chance of rain during our regular weekly outdoor practice time on Tuesday.
Between the flash flood warnings and the gale-force wind advisory, it seems unlikely that things will improve enough to make for a pleasant evening in the park, so we’re cancelling tomorrow’s session.
See you all next week!”
Our Chatelaine’s Call to Action
Hey everyone!
This is Catelin, your local newcomer’s officer. I wanted to announce that with the help of our populace our official TikTok account has reached over 1000 followers! I want to thank everyone that has participated in making this number happen.
I want to keep reaching out to the public using TikTok as one of our platforms, but I am in need of help! Specifically I am in need of people who are comfortable being in front of a camera and showcasing what we do best: being part of the SCA through short form video clips.
If you are interested in being part of the filming process, or would like to send ideas/scripts/feedback for our TikTok feed, please send an email! I can be reached by email at chatelaine@ostgardr.eastkingdom.org.
One of my goals as part of the outreach committee is to show just how welcoming, diverse, and colorful we are as a chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism. One of the ways we can do that is by showcasing as many members of the populace as we can.
If you’re interested, please send me an email and I am happy to walk through with you on every step of the video creation process and show off the most Medieval-y version of you!
Yours in Service,
Catelin Straquhin
