For everyone who need the information I have places a link to the kingdom FAQ below as well as a reminder on how to set up an officer email address in an email client. For setting up clients on mobile devices please refer to the more comprehensive how-to in the FAQ link below.

The next Learning Heraldry Gathering will be on Tuesday, May 15th, 6-8 pm at the Camelot common House, 69 Village Ct., Berlin, MA 01503. (We were going to do this last week, but we ended up rescheduling.) For this gathering, we will be going through the Names 101 class on the East Kingdom Heraldic University website, http://elmet.eastkingdom.org/ekhu/, and probably also finishing up the Book Heraldry 100 class (we didn’t get to the last 10 minutes or so last time). We will probably continue going through the basic Names classes from the website before moving on to something else.
If you are interested in learning with us, please come join us! Also, feel free to let me know what sort of heraldry you would like to learn in the future. We are thinking of meeting on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, 6-8 pm, eating dinner together at the beginning of the gathering. I’m making grilled chicken and some sort of veggies for this week, so please let me know off-list if you want in.
Cheers,
Rosina

Thank you for a wonderful coronation, in general everyone I talked to was pleased with the day and I know the staff of TRM was very pleased with the site, and everything put together.
For the folks I didn’t get the name of either, in the kitchen, running gate,pulling trailers, helping with cleanup and in general making the event run thank you.
Thank you to the staff of the event, your work places the Shire and the SCA in a good light. I do know the Church folks were very impressed with the event, and how we left their facilities and would love to have us back for another event.

We’ll discuss the event at the next business meeting (the 15th) but I expect we won’t have all the paperwork wrapped up so we’ll debrief it in may as well.
As a final plug we are always looking for more officers See this page for open positions. https://quintavia.eastkingdom.org/shire-officers/
A final thank you for making my job at seneschal easy.

Hi,
I like to take a moment to thank the officer’s and deputy officer’s in the Shire. These people do the yeoman’s work in making the practices and gatherings in the Shire happen, and without them we would all be in a lesser place in terms of what we get out of the SCA. Vivat!
A listing of the current officers and their deputies can be found here. The Shire is large and active as can be seen on the practice listing page. and it is due in large part to these folks making the Shire function. Saying that we do have some open positions and/or officers who are in a current position that need to step back. If you are interested in any of the open / looking for replacement positions, or want to ask what the office entails please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. We also have an archive of all the business meeting minutes for the last few years, that is also a good place to learn more about what the various offices entail.
Thank you,
Matthias
Meeting is 3/11 starting at 11am in the Camelot Common House (69 Village Ct Berlin MA)
In addition to the event items, we are looking for a volunteer to put together information for a shire display at EK 50y. We also have elections for the following positions. Exchequer, MoaS, Chancellor Minor, and Dance. Also we are looking for replacement officers for Chamberlain and Chatelaine as those folks need to step back from the position. On the job training offered :)
Thank you
Matthias
