[Ravensfort] Brew Day Get Together

[EPPS, DAVID C]

Dear Mistress Lorraine,
	As a point of fact, the very last official brewers and vintners competition was held at “A day in the Court of the Khan” in April of 2002.  Quoting from your post dated May 2, 2002 titled [Ravensfort] Event Report lifted from BG list

it is stated that
 

“Shula entered the Brewing competition, which I had first hand to sample as well as many others.  Her mead was quite delectable (my favorite) and her 'Thick-as-a-Brick Ale was quite good too.  The judges were quite impressed as well, for she won the competition hands down. Congratulations to the new Ravensfort's Brewing Champion !!!   (SHE GOT LOTS OF PRESENTS to brew with).”

Shula of Bryn-gwlad apparently is the last person to have received the horn, not Lord Marius of Atreides (Doug LeJeune). As a matter of fact Lord Marius of Atreides did not even enter any ale in that particular event. After 2002 no more brewing competitions were held here.  

Shula did make a pretty mean Ale in my opinion and deserved to carry the beautiful horn made by Lady Xanthe.

Zorcon.

Lady Mirabelis you grew taller and had a sex-change (giggle)

Seriously, m'lord Kiwi,

I sincerely appreciate your wish to cover all the bases...I also appreciate
 that you have posted in a manner that makes your missive easy to understand and reply to.

I will answer to the best of my ability...pardon if I snip some of your post so that
things will be made much more brief...

I'm researching as to whether Raven's Fort as an SCA organization can have
an Baronial Sponsored Brewers Guild. It's a gray area and will take some research
If it can be Baronial Sponsored then it would have to follow all SCA rules and regulations

That's great that you've at least gone to Corpora and the By Laws but they are not the only
regulations that have to be taken into consideration.... 

Precedence of Law is first Federal Law, then State Law, then Local Law, then you turn to Corpora
and the Bylaws, then the Society Seneschal Policy and Society Treasurer Policy, then Kingdom Law,
then Kingdom Seneschal Policy, then Kingdom Treasurer Policy, then the rules and regulations as
set down by the Land Agent...and Finally!!! The V&V and Local Seneschal make the final decision
after considering all of the above and the officers and populace...whew!

You got your wish...at least from the Vicaress

Actually I know at least one internationally qualified brew judge (smile)

You need to e-mail a detailed explination of what you wish to do the Steward, the Seneschal and
the Vicar and Vicaress...it may take us a while to confer and make a decision.

I don't know if Mr LeJeune gave it back.

>Is it available to hand out to the winner at this year's Defender?

Since your competition is a privately sponsored one. No baronial property can be used as a prize.

You are welcome to clean any area on site, it'd really be terriffic if ya'll helped
clean the equestrian and other common areas...but that's your choice.

If you want your own camping spot you may contact the Land Agent at the first work weekend to
determine what areas are open for "claiming."

NOTICE for everyone! The site rules are in the process of being modified and will
be finished by the first work weekend! Stay tuned here for details!

> What is the previous Tavern area going to be used for? 

There are already plans in place for the "land."

I would suggest that if you wish to sponsor a party that you get with the Land Agent and find a
place to develop that will be suitable for your needs.
