RE: Retainers and Guards at PENNSIC this year<br><br>Greetings to the fair population of Ponte Alto!<br><br>Some clarification and edification regarding retainers and guards: The original call went out for the
Barony to represent and supply retainers and guards for their
Majesties. Folks have been posting times they can/can't make it through
the Ponte Alto mailing list - that will continue to work. So will
emailing Drogo or Adina (or Bevin).<br>
<br> Assuming 2 hour shifts, we are in search of at least 4 retainers (for
Their Majesties) and 6 guards (4 stationery for the gates and 2 roving
with Their Majesties).<br><br> We will retain for 4 hours, Wednesday
morning (the 8th of August form 9-12, war week) and the following folks
have volunteered so far:<br>
As a retainer:<br>--Lady Bevin An Broc Drannach<br>--Lady Elisande Walters<br>As a guard:<br>--Lord Austin (sic) as a guard - 2 hours at Royal Camp/ 2 hours shadowing a Royal<br>As whatever is necessary:<br>--Lady Guennivere (to augment the guard at Royal by taking messages/being hospitable) <br>
--Lady Aveline Scargill<br>
--Lord Torgar Inn Vikverski of Thorsteinssalr<br>--possibly Lady (?) Myriam<br>--possibly Lady (?) Margaret the Merciless (?)<br><br>These gentles are supporting the request from Baroness Emma West. Master Talorgen will direct us once on site.<br>
<br>If you wish to volunteer for additional times, you are encouraged to contact Baroness Emma West directly.<br>
<br>A second, separate call went out for retainers for Their
Highnesses. Unless we have enough volunteers to support both for Wednesday morning, it will
be a different block of time and this group is being organized by Baronesa Rosa.<br><br>More to come as it is known. Any further questions feel free to contact Drogo, myself, or Baroness Emma West.<br>Any corrections to this email, please contact me off list.<br>
<br> Thank everyone for helping Ponte Alto support The Crown at this historic PENNSIC!<br><br>Baronessa Adina di Ponte Alto<br><br><br><div><div><br></div></div><br>
