[Ansteorra] Advice to a new Baron and Baroness

[Vickie]

The advise I give is similar to what some others have said but here it goes;

The B&B of a group are the Heart and Soul of the group.  How they present 
themselves tends to be reflected in the way the group interacts with each other 
and the rest of the Kingdom.  So my advice is the consider what image and 
message your actions are giving to your populace.  Believe me for better or 
worse they will follow your lead and not always with the interpretation you 
expected.

Subject: [Ansteorra] Advice to a new Baron and Baroness

Gentles, 
Of late, there have been a number of new transitions for the office of Baron and 

Baroness (B&B) in the landed Baronies of Ansteorra, and several more to come 
this season.  This job is probably the hardest office of the SCA, both for it's 
length as well as it's depth.   


Many years ago, as I met Baron Edwin FitzLloyd of the Steppes, along a pathway 
at an event, I asked him how he was enjoying his retirement from Baron of 
Steppes which he had vacated some few months before.  After a pause, Edwin 
astutely said  "It is a pleasure that the opinions I give are from Edwin, rather 

than the 'Baron of the Steppes'".   Wisely said.

Some of you have held the post of B&B and may have many words of advice to a new 

B&B.   Many with years in the society, having supported your landed Baron and 
Baroness, may also have words of advice.  I've asked this question before on 
this list and you can search the archives for responses, but I think it bears 
repeating.  


The question: 
What advice, suggestions or counsel would you give to a new Baron and Baroness 
in order for them to find success in their new office?  

Or to those considering applying for the honor of holding the office of Baron 
and Baroness?

Regards, Hillary
