Just wanted to throw something in this edition of The Quill because of a recent conversation on the Merry Rose. For those who aren’t on the Rose, or don’t follow it much, there was recently a discussion about how we as a Society treat newcomers and how we can improve that. One of my biggest pet peeves is people treating newcomers like they have “cooties”, and as was put in one post, “passing them off to the nearest Chatelaine”.
I try to make it clear that in my opinion, everyone who plays this game IS a Chatelaine…
Which brings me to the point of this letter…
I would like to say that in my opinion, this Barony is the most Welcoming group I have ever seen, in my 15 years of playing, in two different Kingdoms now. It makes me feel good to see that there are ALWAYS new people at our events, and there is ALWAYS someone talking about having helped a newcomer recently.
I would like to thank each of the Canton Chatelaines, but it’s just as much every member of every group, as it is the Chatelaines. And THAT is what is going to keep the SCA alive for our children to grow up in, and our grandchildren when it’s their time.
I don’t say thanks enough to everyone for all that they do to make this Barony what it is, and for that I apologize.
But all of you, doing what you all do so well, is what makes my job as Baronial Chatelaine easy.
I look forward to seeing many of you at the Try It Day hosted by Lady Millicent, and hope to see a lot of new faces that day as well!!!
Yours in Service,
BlackJack
