From the Chronicler

Sarishan, friends,

You all know I’m not the most active person when it comes to attending events. And I have been thinking that having a pair of boots on the ground, so to speak, would probably be very beneficial to this office. So, to that end, I have decided it would behoove me to look for a Deputy Chronicler to assist me in getting material for The Quill.

The requirements of the office would be simply to maintain an SCA membership, which is required to hold an office, and be actively attending events. Of course, if I were to step down (not something I’m currently planning) or become otherwise unable to act as Chronicler (again, not something I currently foresee), you’d be first in line to step up and take over the office if you wanted to. If you didn’t, we’d find someone else. But really, what I need is a “reporter” kind of person, someone who could see interesting things for the newsletter, or maybe get me some nice pictures and waivers of things as they are happening. We don’t have a lot of pictures in The Quill because getting timely, candid shots and the waivers to go with them is a monumental task unless you’re right there with a camera and a stack of waiver forms on hand. If you can write, great. This will be a good opportunity to get your writing out there (There’s the potential for a Blackfox award. I’m just sayin’.). And if you can’t write well, that’s fine, too. Get me the info and I’ll polish it up for you.

I will continue to set up the hardcopies and the online blog version of The Quill. That won’t change in the foreseeable future. I just think having a deputy to act in this capacity will vastly improve not only our presence, but also the content of our newsletter.

Please contact me at paintedwheel [AT] hotmail. com. Make the subject line “Deputy Chronicler” or “Quill” so I can easily rescue it from the Great Swamp of Filth and Desperation that is my junk mail box.

Thanks in advance for your consideration,

Dulcy

Chronicler, Nottinghill Coill
