we ask that you take a few minutes to do so. The announcements of our new
champions are there as well as details on the upcoming Baronial Day and other
activities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>Please take a
moment to congratulate all our new champions, they are the pride of the Barony
and show true enthusiasm for their art. Also, champions, if you would
like to be added to the retainer list for your term please let one of us know
and we will send you an invitation to the group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>Also, thank you
to the cantons of Sudentorre and Abhainn Iarthair for their gifts to the
barony. Sudentorre made matching banners of the Baronial and Canton arms
for use at events. Abhainn Iarthair gave us games for the children’s
gift basket (which Kieran approves of) as well as yummy fudge. Thank you
again for your generosity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>Assessment is
this weekend. We will have a baronial presence on the field and you are
more than welcome to join us under it. We will have a small table
out with refreshments on it, and please feel free to bring your favorite snack
to share with us and the friends of our Barony. Also, we are looking for a
couple people who can assist us with watching the boys during the day.
Her Excellency would like to take the opportunity to get some fighting in
before Pennsic and this is her last chance to do so. Please email her
off-list if you would be willing to assist us. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

around the corner. If you will be there please remember that we will be
discussing Baronial activities and such over on the Pennsic Moo list.
Feel free to join even if you are not camping with the Barony so you know when
things are happening. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
