For those of you that<br>don't know, at Pennsic this year, during the St. Sebastian's II shoot, the<br>King and Queen held court to transfer the DEM position from THL Lorelei<br>Greenleaf to me. First of all I want to say a heartfelt thank THL Lorelei<br>Greenleaf for all she has done, she is a mentor and true friend of mine and<br>inspiration to us all. I am excited to have been given this opportunity and<br>look forward to serving the Kingdom and all of you. Someone wrote and<br>congratulated me and said they would be proud to work for me, but I look at<br>it just the opposite, I am here to work for you all, my marshals and<br>friends. Without your attention to detail, dedication and thoughts and<br>ideas, we would not have the shining example of archery that we enjoy in<br>Atlantia and the known world.<br><br><br><br>I am excited to get to work on the items I feel are needing attention in our<br>Kingdom. I would like to announce that THL Seamus McRay will be my Emergency<br>DEM, I view his position as a partner and will look to him to share in<br>supporting archery in our Kingdom. I know some might be concerned that both<br>of us reside in the Northern part of Atlantia. I want to assure you all that<br>this will not be an issue, most of you that know me know that I try to<br>attend most of the archery related and other Kingdom events that I can. In<br>the event that I can't attend an event I would look to Seamus and our<br>regional marshals to provide coverage as they have in the past.<br><br><br><br>I have already started a list and after initially talking with Sir Otto, I<br>will move out on working those action items. I have already re-written the<br>Target Archery Marshal class handout and teachers notes and will be posting<br>them on the Kingdom Archery site. I am currently finishing the 1st edition<br>of the Atlantia Target Archery Handbook. After approval from Sir Otto and<br>the Crown, it will also be posted. This will be a one stop place for new<br>archers and all of us to have all the pertinent information required to<br>describe archery in Atlantia to include rules, Marshallate information, MIT<br>class information and MIT form. Some of the other items include a revamp of<br>our regional marshals responsibilities, I would like to make their<br>involvement more effective and get them to assist with marshal renewals,<br>expired classes and memberships, etc.<br><br><br><br>Someone asked me earlier this year what my agenda was? That took me a back a<br>bit because on thinking about this I have no agenda, well alright I do have<br>an agenda but it is simple. My agenda is to have fun and keep Atlantia<br>Archery safe, if you're not having fun your doing it wrong! This won't be<br>the last time you hear me say that. So to answer this question, here is my<br>answer:<br><br><br><br>1. Educate our autocrats and marshals to work more closely together. I<br>would like to see archery be held in a more central location to the event as<br>long as the site permits from a safety perspective. I would like to see our<br>marshals be more proactive with autocrats so they work together early enough<br>in planning that archery is not an afterthought and site layout is planned<br>correctly.<br><br>2. Continue to educate our marshal's on our rules and how to enforce<br>them properly. I have heard of 6 instances now already this year where<br>marshal's "made up" rules which caused archers who drove great distances not<br>to be able to shoot. I will always support marshal's erring on the side of<br>safety, but I don't want people turned away for "made up" rulings. We have<br>decent and recently updated rules and I would like to see them enforced<br>properly.<br><br>3. Correct the multiple small issues with incorrect data on the Earl<br>Marshal's page as well as our Atlantia Archery page. I would like updated<br>data to be stored in one location and all other pages to simply link to that<br>data. This will assure that we only have to update data in one location and<br>the links will always point you to that correct data.<br><br>4. Implement a simple multiple choice test for MIT's to better align<br>us with the other disciplines.<br><br>5. Implement a Marshal's Warrant ID card that Warranted Marshal's will<br>need to show to identify themselves as marshal's. It will be renewed yearly<br>based on your membership and marshal's class standings.<br><br><br><br>Those of you that know me, know how serious I am about archery in the SCA. I<br>will promise you all that I will always listen to your ideas and thoughts<br>but we might not always agree. That is perfectly alright and normal but I<br>will not support negativity, whining and finger pointing. We have too much<br>to do and need to work together to accomplish it all. Some things are meant<br>to be discussed in the forums and others might not. I would like to form a<br>"core" group of target archery marshals (TAMs) that represent the Baronies,<br>Canton's, Shires, etc that make up Atlantia. I would look to these TAMs as<br>the core to work certain issues with me when required. I would like to see<br>St. Sebastian's continue and we even carry out the Known World Archery<br>Tournament like THL Christophe started the discussion for earlier this year.<br>That tourney would take a dedicated team to pull off and much planning by<br>this team. If we conduct it at Pennsic or not it still would be a huge and<br>fruitful event. Of course I am only thinking out loud here, a little at a<br>time.<br><br><br><br>So in closing I want to say thank you all again for the welcomes, I look<br>forward to working with you all. If you have questions, comments or concerns<br>please let me know. I am honored to be given this chance to serve Atlantia<br>and my friends and peers in the Archery community. I will do my best to keep<br>archery exciting and safe in Atlantia.<br><br><br><br>In Service,<br><br><br><br>THL Janyn Fletcher of Lancastreshire<br><br><br><br><br><br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <<a href="http://seahorse.atlantia.sca.org/pipermail/archers-atlantia.sca.org/attachments/20120811/8f552b16/attachment-0001.htm" target="_blank">http://seahorse.atlantia.sca.org/pipermail/archers-atlantia.sca.org/attachments/20120811/8f552b16/attachment-0001.htm</a>><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Message: 2<br>Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2012 20:51:25 -0400<br>From: "Jay Nardone" <<a href="mailto:jaynardone@comcast.net">jaynardone@comcast.net</a>><br>To: <<a href="mailto:archers@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org">archers@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org</a>><br>Subject: [Archers] Pennsic Champion's Team report<br>Message-ID: <000501cd7824$9a111920$ce334b60$@net><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"<br><br>I wanted to send a short report out on this year's Champion's team. I first<br>of all want to thank everyone that came out to try out and support the<br>Champion's team. This year was one of those strange ones and in the end<br>Atlantia had 15 Atlantian's on the Champions team. We were allowed 20<br>primaries with 4 alternates. I want to thank Lord Ghijskijn for his<br>assistance with practices, it was a big help to me and freed me up to pay<br>attention to those that we did not know of their abilities. There was some<br>confusion this year on the part of our Ally's Archer General. It turned out<br>that he was very distracted (he was elevated to Pelican during Pennsic) and<br>did no prior planning. During the Champion's shoot we discovered that a<br>complete team of 4 was missing from the field. The new Archer General was<br>continually claiming that the missing team was Atlantian's but I assured him<br>that all of our primaries were accounted for and actually shooting on the<br>field. What really upsets me still is that our 4 alternates could have<br>stepped in and shot but were not asked until after lunch when the roving<br>range was already torn down and the only remaining targets were the walk-up<br>and friend/foe.<br><br><br><br>I sat down with the Archer General yesterday to discuss this mistake and I<br>think I understand what happened now. Aethelmaerc never had all 20 slots<br>filled with 4 alternates as he told me again and again. There was never any<br>roster made as I had worked from the first day of practice. I was instructed<br>that I needed to carry those from North Shield, Trimaris and Meridies. I did<br>just that and the other 5 members of our team were comprised of those<br>individuals but the morning of the shoot he counted 4 of them even though<br>they were in line in our teams. On top of that he only had 1 alternate to<br>give when required. So long story short, the Allies lost by roughly 206<br>points that could have been shot by our alternate team members.<br><br><br><br>So next year no matter who we are allied with, I press my counterpart much<br>harder to assure they are on top of things. I want to thank everyone again<br>who participated, I really enjoyed shooting with you all and I can say that<br>Atlantia brought it's "A" game as usual! I also noted a few things that we<br>only have 9 sash's now and need more to complete a team of 20. Also now that<br>I am apprenticed in metal working and pewter casting, I will make up some<br>tokens of my thanks for this year's team members and next.<br><br><br><br><br><br>In Service,<br><br><br><br>THL Janyn Fletcher<br><br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <<a href="http://seahorse.atlantia.sca.org/pipermail/archers-atlantia.sca.org/attachments/20120811/277f5d9c/attachment-0001.htm" target="_blank">http://seahorse.atlantia.sca.org/pipermail/archers-atlantia.sca.org/attachments/20120811/277f5d9c/attachment-0001.htm</a>><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Message: 3<br>Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2012 20:52:37 -0400<br>From: "Gordon Kinnie" <<a href="mailto:am_piobaire@comcast.net">am_piobaire@comcast.net</a>><br>To: <<a href="mailto:archers@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org">archers@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org</a>><br>Subject: [Archers] St. Aidan<br>Message-ID: <4081A6F956F3482180F433281E476FDE@GordonPC><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"<br><br>To all that did not attend Pennsic.<br><br>Let it be known that THL Seamus McRay of Bright Hills was made a member of<br>the Company of Sergeants of Saint Aidan.<br><br>He is the first combat archer ever added to this order.<br><br><br><br>Congratulations Seamus.<br><br><br><br><br><br>Godai<br><br><br><br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <<a href="http://seahorse.atlantia.sca.org/pipermail/archers-atlantia.sca.org/attachments/20120811/2284d5d8/attachment.htm" target="_blank">http://seahorse.atlantia.sca.org/pipermail/archers-atlantia.sca.org/attachments/20120811/2284d5d8/attachment.htm</a>><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Archers mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Archers@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org">Archers@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org</a><br><a href="http://seahorse.atlantia.sca.org/listinfo.cgi/archers-atlantia.sca.org" target="_blank">http://seahorse.atlantia.sca.org/listinfo.cgi/archers-atlantia.sca.org</a><br><br><br>End of Archers Digest, Vol 107, Issue 4<br>***************************************<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
