>Greetings from Maire!
>	As you may have heard , at the April BOD meeeting there was a
>decison to implement a $3.00 surcharge for non-members attending
>events by June 1, 1994.  There was a great deal of controversy and
>confusion about this issue and I purposefully chose not to implement
>this change until I had the full story.  I have it now and here it is.
>	 The idea of this surcharge is to generate revenue for the
>Corporation QUICKLY, so HOW this is implemented is open to a very
>broad range of creative alternatives.  I will suggest a few and leave
>it to the local branches to figure out which one they feel most
>comfortable with. 
>	1.)  Have the troll ask if the attendee is a member.  If they
>are not then they pay $3.00, or the equivalent.  Then forward the
>number of non-members attending and the surcharges to the Kingdom
>Exchequer (don't forget to name the event and have the troll's
>signature).
>	2.)  Have the troll ask if the attendee is a member.  If they
>ARE, give them a three dollar rebate.  This is really the same thing
>as #1. but a rebate sounds nicer than a surcharge.  Send $3.00 or the
>equivalent of the non-member fees to the Kingdom Exchequer as above.  
>	3.)  Charge everyone $1.00 or the equivalent extra.  If you
>are uncomfortable with making a distinction between member and
>non-member, this might be the option for you.  Count the number of
>attendees and send $1.00 or the equivalent for each one to the
>Exchequer as above.
>	4.)  Have a fundraiser at every event which would cover the
>surcharge.  This does not have to be exact but guess from your
>attendence how much that event should generate in surcharge.  You can
>take it from the event profits or have a fun fundraiser of some sort.
>	5.)  Something creative YOU thought of as an alternative--as
>long as it does not violate the law, is unfair, or mentions the word
>"TAX" (the powers that be get very upset about that sort of thing).
>	Please start incorporating one of these procedures into your
>upcoming events as soon as reasonably possible.  You should notate
>the method you'll be using in the event flyers (starting in October
>Tale).
>	All of these funds will go to the Kingdom Exchequer.  In
>December he will tally the funds received and that money will become
>part of the Chronicler's stipend.  This will save the Corporation a
>bit of money and save us the costly conversion and postal rates of
>mailing the fees to California.
>	If you have questions or concerns, please contact me and I'll

Subject: Thirty Year Celebration


     A General Announcement Concerning 
        The Thirty Year Celebration

At their April 16th 1994 meeting, the Board of Directors of the SCA
accepted An Tir's bid to host the Thirtieth Year Celebration.

When: June 7th to June 16th, 1996
   Weather is forecasted to be sunny and warm, temperatures in the
   mid-70's.

Where: Clark County Fairgrounds, near Vancouver Washington
   (Shire of Stromgaard), just north of Portland, Oregon (Barony
   of Three Mountains). Located close to the I-5 highway, the site is
   45 minutes away from Portland International Airport and 2 1/2 hours
   from SeaTac Airport (Seattle/Tacoma). There is an AmTrack station
   in Portland about 15+ miles away. The nearest hospital is 10 minutes
   away. There is significant shopping within 10 miles. There are motels
   nearby.

   The site itself is a county fairground with buildings, grandstand,
   large open field for camping, convenient and ample parking, woods,
   hillside and brush for woods battles. Ample garderobes (privies).
   Cold water showers. No major crawlies or critters.

Who: Everyone! An Tir is hosting, but this is *everyone's* party.
   We've got lots of room for warriors, artists, children, partiers,
   teachers, students, newcomers, old-timers, researchers, and merchants
   to all do their thing. Come play and work, watch and participate.
   We're making arrangments to make the event accessible for the disabled.

What: (A short list.)
   Combat Activities (Tourneys, Pick-up fights, Wars, Archery, Pas d'Armes,
   Tournament of Armies, Rapier, Lights), Arts and Sciences Activities
   (Music, Dance, Calligraphy, on-site brick bake oven, Armourers, Cooks,
   hobby farm animals, Spiritmakers, Moneyers, Bardic circles, Contests,
   Discussion Groups), Collegium Societatis (classes by instructors from
   across the Knowne World), Merchants (lots of merchant space, both indoors
   and out), Equestrian Activities, and Enchanted Ground/Medieval Encampment.
   Lots more.

Registration:
   Registration information will appear in the Winter 1994 Tournaments
   Illuminated and in the January issues of the Kingdom newsletters.
   Registration opens Jan 1st, 1995. Site fees have not been firmly
   set at this time, but will increase as the event draws closer -- so
   register early.

Event Newsletter: 
   The Progress is the official newsletter of the Thirty Year Celebration.
   Six pre-event issues are planned -- the first to be mailed out in
   mid-November 1994. Subscriptions are $8US/$10Can. Advertising space
   is available.

Greetings from siobhan medhbh o'roarke unto all the folks I can reach
with these electronic greetings.

(Please, I do not have an address for anyone in the CompuServe Forums
world. If someone would pass this along, I would thank you!)

As some of you know, as of the first of September I become the new
editor of TI. (I'm not certain if this is another sign of Pelican-ish
insanity, but....;-)  )

Lady Alys had intended to keep the magazine until January, but her modern-world
employers have made her an offer too good to refuse, and so she is 
finishing up her last issue, Fall. My first issue will be Winter, and soon
Lady Alys shall be enjoying, I hope, her well-deserved rest. This has not 
been an easy year for any of our colleagues who serve at the 
corporate level, and I thank Alys for her care in making sure the
transition of editors happened smoothly and easily. We had not expected
to change editors until the depths of winter, but here it is the dog days
of summer, and the change is upon us.

As with any change of hands, there will be changes in TI
under my editorship. What they will be are still undecided as I write this
letter today, but there are some things I wanted to talk about
for you, our consumers and the folks for whom we work.

Many of you have asked for more pieces on what has come to be called
"Inter-Kingdom Cultural Anthropology." These are pieces, like the 
series of essays by Jessa d'Avondale, about how things are different
in different parts of this known world. We are a truly international,
intercultural society, and yet we know very little about practices in
kingdoms not our own. One of the distressing statistics about the Society
today is that many people who move from Kingdom to Kingdom simply disappear
once they reach their new homes, and at least part of the answer is 
culture shock. Perhaps if we published more information that compares and 
contrasts our various cultures, we can help people better understand the 
various cultures (there is not just one!) of the Society. It is also true
that one of the lessons we've learned over the last year is that people
hold differing basic values in different Kingdoms. If the Interkingdom
Council and Grand Council are to get good advice from us, we need to
think about what those underlying values are.

You have asked (in the response cards, and in other letters and 
feedback) for more pieces on how to enhance our re-creation of the 
Middle Ages and Renaissance; more on how to make or build things for our
use. 

You have also asked for discussions on issues much as we talk about them on
this, the Rialto. 

The art director, Jarl Irel, and I want to satisfy your wants and still
balance them against the needs of the magazine and the organization. It's not
going to be easy. ;-)

I've been talking to Mistress Aelflaed about ways to improve the timeliness
of the information from the Corporate office, and other things that
have been a problem in the past. 

We may not solve everything by Winter, but we _are_ trying. ;-)

At any rate, in order not to consume great bandwidth  with my
philosophy, let me present some of my wish list:

* Historical articles: particularly things which talk about the
	way life happened for the folks we are studying; facts 
	which SCA-folk bandy about but never really study (are
	there really more fighters on the field at Pennsic than
	most medieval battles? Were tomatoes really held to be
	poisonous in period? What _are_ archeologists finding 
	in those middens?)

* Article(s) on how Crown Tourneys happen in all the kingdoms:
	how often, how many fighters, rituals & assumptions

* Fealty oaths: who swears, what the oaths are, what they mean to 
	the people giving and receiving them.

* A & S competitions: judged? not judged? County Fair? Written criteria?
	anonymous judging?

* "Eastern Rite vs Western Rite": Is there such a thing? What are the
        underlying assumptions?

and so on.

One of the things which I have enjoyed in other SCA-related publications is
the Forum or Interchange sections, where questions are posed and folk write
in with answers. I am wondering if we could make such a thing work for TI?

TI has in the past been leery of publishing information that discusses 
the underlying structure and makeup of the Society. The past year's 
upheavals have taught us that we must all think about what the Society
is and what it means to us. And so, I solicit well written, coherent 
articles about what the Society is and what it could be. Any issue which
we debate at feasts, on the Rialto, at post revels, in parking lots, or in our
livingrooms at local meetings is worthy of consideration by the Society as
a whole. As usual, we will present a balance of ideas, and will print only
those essays which are articulate, mature, and considerate of the fact that
all of us have close-held beliefs and philosophies. But send me proposals
for your ideas, no matter what they are.

I will publish responses to these essays, particularly shorter, articulate
responses. 

I will continue to take submissions in electronic format: DOS preferred
(MS-Word, ascii, or RTF are best), Macintosh acceptable; email, ftp 
(contact me for the address), and html equally preferred. Paper 
(doublespaced and clearly readable) is of course also perfectly acceptable. 
Faxes are acceptable, but because my fax software optically scans the 
submissions into electronic format, faxed submissions
may require an extra round of editing and are thus less preferred.

You can reach at: siobhan@lloyd.com
or the Paper Mail address and phone number listed below. I do not intend
to get a CompuServe address: if this presents hardship for the folks on
CompuServe, will someone please contact me and so we can discuss it?

Thank you for your help in beginning our partnership. And, again, I ask your
thanks for Alys's leadership of TI in the past two years.

  regards,
siobhan

Greetings from siobhan medhbh o'roarke, incipient editor of TI!

Since my last posting I've had many comments about _your_ hopes and
wishes for TI. Thank you for the positive and encouraging responses.

By far the most frequently expressed hope is that we should run a listing of
SCA-related publications in TI so that the publishers of those magazines
and those who might be interested can get together.

This is a project I am _very_ interested in: it was on my list of
things to tackle (altho not on the _very_ top!).

So, I am looking for two things:

	Publications you enjoy and think others would, too
	A coordinator who will keep up the list and make corrections,
	   additions, etc.

I suspect that this list could, like the RIALTO FAQ, eventually become a net
and email resource. (A SCA-related publications FAQ, perhaps?)

So, send them in. Send me info about your favorite SCA-mag. If the editors
send me a courtesy subscription, I will try to exerpt or reprint items
of particular interest (especially to help build interest).

Regards,
  (and thanks to the many people who sent in this suggestion!)

IKAC Period Division
 
 
        Next year the Traditional Longbow division will be replaced by a 
new Period division.  
        
        The main intent of the the Period division is to encourage the 
use and construction of period style gear in SCA archery.  Modern style 
bows and arrows may still be used in the competition, as in the current 
Open division.  But if you use period style bows and arrows, you will not 
get a bonus on your score.  If you have made the period style equipment 
that you are using, you will get a larger bonus. The bonus should also 
remove the advantage modern equipment may have.
        
        If you can make your own equipment, it will be to the advantage 
of your kingdom for you to make it for others, and to teach them how to 
make it as well.  If all three of your kingdomsÕs top archers, in the 
division, are using period style equipment or better still, have made the 
gear they are using, the bonus points would make a major difference in 
your kingdomÕs score by up to 20 per cent. 
        
        There are now enough bowyers making self bows of all types that 
the price for a bow is now longer over $300, with a six month wait.  And 
with the books on bowery that have come out in the past few years it is 
possible to make your own for under sixty dollars using a stave of Yew or 
Osage Orange or less for other good bow woods.  Or even under ten if you 
use a board from a lumber yard.  Self arrows are easy to make requiring 
only two or three pieces of hacksaw blade and a small round file in order 
to make the self nock.
        
        Due to the limited number of crossbow scores I have been 
receiving, I am considering dropping the crossbow division and allowing 
crossbows to compete in the Open and Period divisions.  But they will not 
be allowed front sights.  Both modern and period style crossbows may 
compete in the Open division, but only period style crossbows in the 
Period division.  In the Open division modern style crossbows would be 
limited to six arrows in the speed rounds, but in the period division 
there would be no limit.
        
        If you would like a copy of the draft Period division rules, 
please Email me.  
 
Sir Jon Fitz-Rauf, Keeper of the IKAC and IKCAC
