When is the yule revel? The 8th?
If so we will not be able to attend.
We have a family function in Houston that we must attend. 
Sorry,

Brian

A knight is sworn to valour 
His heart knows only virtue 
His blade defends the helpless 
His might upholds the weak 
His word speaks only truth 
His wrath undoes the wicked.

Our Raven's Fort hospitality tent was a hit. We had a full house with people from all over eating our foodstuffs, sharing laughter and friendship. It was a great day for our Barony.

We did decide to hold a joint Baronial together to free up the calendar and share the expense and responsibility of putting on an event . The date will be May 3-5, the usual date for Loch/Stargate Baronials. We are telling this date now so our friends that work in TDC can begin to look at the possibility of getting the date off from work. The site will be the Bordermarch  site with the fighting occurring  in the middle of the common camping area, no castle. More details will be available by our Yule Populace meeting. We do know that our Barony will be responsible for the archery part of the event. Our Barony will have the chance  to make monies for our Barony in ways also having details to follow. We are very honored and excited to be included in this first time try of a joint event with our Southern Cousins. We will need everyone on board to make this happen and would like a good showing from our group to make it happen.

It was decided to have our December Populace at Yule as has occurred in the past few years. This year we will have a 'campfire'  Populace near our barn. At this time we will discuss our spring event date, brainstorm ideas about it and tell of the latest news and plans for the joint Baronial event in May. We want to hear from our Populace and utilize our talents and brains to see how we want to handle this try by the Southern area to relieve the calendar, how it will affect our group in the near future and how we will still use our dear Stones site as well. We have some ideas on this  and want to hear yours.

Those who wish can still bring a gift to exchange and we will draw numbers to exchange them, first come, first pick. Children can bring a child's gift to have a separate exchange as well.

Then we will follow with the gift exchange with campfire drumming and fun that evening. This will give time for our day tripping peoples to travel safely home before it gets too late for them. We will get a food list going soon. Be thinking about what food items you might like to bring. We usually have around 30 people.
