*Business*

*Ruby Joust May 23-26!* by Baroness Esperanza

*Barony has a camping group set up for Ruby Joust: Contact Lord Allen with
tent size ASAP!   In the past, camping at Ruby Joust was similar in set up
to Pennsic, but this year space is secured through your barony’s land agent.

*Barony will have a day shade on the field both Saturday and Sunday (even
though Baron and Baroness will not be camping, they will be attending!)

*Lady Arnbjorg will be overseeing the potluck hospitality table in the day
shade, email her or contact through Facebook with what you plan to bring

those interested in becoming seneschal

the venerable and useful “red chair” – perhaps early on a Sunday morning

*Knight Marshal*
