In addition to the normal business we’ll start taking nominations for the positions that are up in November (https://quintavia.eastkingdom.org/shire-officers/).

We are hosting a demo at the upcoming Start on the Street festival in Worcester ma on 9/15. https://www.startonthestreet.org/start-street-fall-edition. We have a booth for displaying wares, and a space for fighting/fencing demo’s right behand it as in past years. We will be in a similar spot across from Elm Park as in the past few years. Anyone who can show up even for an hour or 2 is very welcome (start runs from 11 to 5 pm)

Greetings all if you on ancestral lands or taking it easy this year, just a couple quick announcements.

Thursday Heavy List practice is on break for the next 2 weeks. Nominally practice starts up again 8/15 but that tends to be more story telling. 8/22 we’ll be going again in earnest.

Please keep an eye out for worthy folks to write in. Their highness are accepting recommendations for there first poll until 8/17.

Thank you

Hi All, First off due to the way Sunday’s fall and the fact the second Sunday of the month is the same weekend as GNE, the july business meeting is the 21st at the Camelot Common house great room (69 Village ct, berlin ma).

Look for Camelot Co-Housing on the directions page, https://quintavia.eastkingdom.org/events-practices/directions/

If you haven’t recently done so, take a look around the Shire and see if you notice anyone doing good work that should be written in for awards. Especially search out the quiet ones 🙂

For a quick refresher on writing someone in, take a look at this post from last year. https://quintavia.eastkingdom.org/writing-folks-in-for-awards/

If you are looking for something to do this long weekend, don’t forget the Weaving day this sunday.
