SCA Night Out - Lord Bowen will begin coordinating a monthly SCA night out 
starting in February or March.  More information will be posted once a date 
and time has been decided upon.  Lord Bowen says the first night out will be 
a bowling night.  Remember, your best garb is always a bold fashion statement 
with those charming rental shoes.

newcomers on the 3rd Thursday of the month.  The first meeting will be on 
February 17th, with the place and time to be determined.

once a site has been finalized.

Midsummer Faire X - Lady Caitlin, the event stew, er, evil and perverse 
despot, will be holding a planning meeting sometime in February.  More 
details to follow.

Stargate Equestrian Guild - Starting this month, this guild will split its 
monthly practices between Fort Bend County Stables in Stafford and Camelot 
Horse Center in Tomball.  This month's practice will be Sunday, January 23rd 
at Camelot.  More information on start times and directions will be posted 
soon.

Open Offices - The offices of Seneschal, Herald, Rapier Marshal and Minister 
of A&S are now accepting applications.  Applications should be sent to the 
regional officer, with a courtesy copy going to the Gate's Edge Seneschal, 
the current branch officer, Their Excellencies Stargate, and the Stargate 
Seneschal.  All applications must include proof of membership.

Website - Lord Thorvaaldr has volunteered to be the Gate's Edge Virtual 
Scribe and has begun devloping a Gate's Edge website.  Lord Thorvaaldr has 
asked for input from the populace before making the links available to the 
Ansteorran website.  The URL is:

If I forgot anything, someone please post an addendum or correction to the 
list.

In your service,
Lord Stephen
