Updated as of 2/9/2023

At the request of our Seneschal, the Østgarðr Special Meeting scheduled for tomorrow, Friday February 10th, at 8:00 PM is postponed for two full weeks.

Friday February 24th is the rescheduled date. A reminder of this new date and video conferencing details will be sent to the Østgarðr Officers’ Council and the general Østgarðr list.

We apologize for this alteration of our original schedule.

Vicereines of the Crown Province of Østgarðr

——————————————-

Compliant with the process included in Section K. of the Charter of the Crown Province of Østgarðr, a group of five Officers unsatisfied with recent actions undertaken by an Officer of Østgarðr, proposed the removal of said officer, our current Seneschal, Nagashima Ichiro Ujimichi.  

Also in accordance with the Charter, a Special Meeting of the Officers’ Council to discuss the matter has been scheduled for Friday February 10th, 2023, at 8 PM, by Video Conference, on  Google Meet:

Meeting ID

meet.google.com/rto-ksgw-ihp

(US) Phone Numbers  ‪+1 423-720-0129‬

PIN: ‪692 247 367#‬

The Viceregents invite Interested members of the populace to attend.  Officers and Populace members who wish to speak will be asked to use the electronic raised hand button to notify the Vicereines jointly chairing the meeting, who will then call on individuals in order.  When called on, please have comments or questions completed within three minutes.   

Following the meeting and with due consideration, members of the Officers’ Council proper are asked to vote on the following options as outlined in the Charter:

Section K, subsection 4 

“Following the discussion, the Officer’ Council may decide that

no further action is required, or

may advise the Officer of the problem and outline steps that they should take to address it,

or may recommend the Officer’s removal.”

The polling questionnaire link will be sent to each Officers’ Council member’s official East Kingdom email address, and will need to be completed by the night of Sunday February 12th, midnight, Eastern US time, in order to be counted.  Given the extended polling period of over two full days, proxy votes should not be required.   

Please note that according to the Charter, Officer’s Deputies are not voting members of the Officers’ Council.   Also, each Officer in the Officers’ Council may only vote once, regardless of the number of Officer positions they occupy.

The result of the vote will be tallied, then reported to the Officers’ Council on Monday, February 13th, or shortly thereafter, dependent on the schedule of the neutral external party handling the polling.

Should you have questions on Officer and Officers’ Council roles, duties, restrictions, as well as the processes we follow for this meeting and the requirements for achieving quorum and the full vote required to remove an Officer, please consult the Charter, a copy of which is available on the Østgarðr website.

Come to Pennsic 101!

Pennsic pre-reg has opened, and people are starting to think about Pennsic. Everyone you talk to makes it sound like so much fun… but you’ve never done anything like this, so… now what do you do?

Come to Pennsic 101 to find out!

Pennsic 101 Class

When: Saturday February 18, 2023 at 2 p.m.

Where: ONLINE via Zoom – Saturday 2/18/23 2pm Eastern.

***Class will not be recorded, but an additional class will be scheduled in March on a Wednesday, to try to reach all those wanting to attend.***

(Those with Pennsic experience are very welcome – I don’t know everything, plus I’ve had 40+ year veterans learn something new in this class!)

Pennsic is a wonderful SCA event and attending this class will help you to both prepare and have the best time possible… We will discuss how to prepare for Pennsic, what you will need to do and bring. We will answer questions you may have on how to manage to get your things to Pennsic and what you can expect when you finally get there and get set up. If you have garb you’ve already made and are not sure it’s Pennsic-ready, bring it. We can help you decide.
I look forward to seeing you there!

Taci e Balla! Renaissance Dance Workshop & Practice

Taci e Balla, shut up and dance! Please join us in rehearsing our steps as we anticipate the spring ball season. As with traditional country dances of 15th C England, we begin with bransles: double, single, Cassandre & Pinagay. If you can step to your left and to your right, and sometimes do a little kick in the air, you are ready to rumba! Er, I mean bransle! (Pronounced brawl, and can indeed become quite lively.)

When: Sunday, Feb. 19, 2023 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. Sunday Feb. 26, 2023 2:00 – 3:00 p.m.

Where: Bridge For Dance 2726 Broadway 3rd Fl, New York, NY 10025
