xHxaxixl GREETINGS  An Tir
 
May You all be Warm, Dry and Safe.
It has been decidedly moist out of late.

Huzzah for the event stewards of 
Dragons Mist & Aquaterra who shut down the events
in progress and made sure people were safe.

Huzzah every one who made it work 

Huzzah
September Crown & Autumn War Teams doing their best
a few weeks before. Great job & touch choices.


Please be Prepared 
in your home,vehicle and work for bad weather. 
A lantern, flashlight, battery powered radio, a few candles ,a couple gallons or drinking water,maybe a camp stove, handy cold /dry foods, extra blankets, keep your phone charged,  etc etc.  In winter/bad weather I try not
 to let my vehicle get under 1/4 tank it is a safety
shelter with a heater. 
Think about your pets too Please.

Please do not drive through much water &
 downed power lines are best left alone.

Many Good web sites for advice to be prepared with.

Be Well.
  

OK Mostly Modern out of the way now.

AVACAL  
Please return your Polling forms in regards advancing to Kingdom Status,
Dead Line the end of October.

An Tir web site says: 
Extension of polling for Avacal kingdom bid

Due to an unfortunate typo in the return address on the polling forms it cannot be assured that all the forms as originally printed would reach the polling return officer. 

In consultation with the Society Seneschal it has been decided to print corrected polling forms and send them to the membership of Avacal. To ensure sufficient time for the polls to be returned the deadline for return of the polls has been extended by 2 weeks. 

Polling forms now need to be returned by October 29, 2013.



TIR RIGH 
Good Fortune I see you are working your way there
 as well.
Please do the initial poll. 
Yes, No, Maybe, Do not care.
Communication  and Participation is Key.

All hail Tir Righ.......All hail!  
There has been mucho talk of becoming a 
Kingdom. Mucho, I say. Committees, planning, 
celebrations, stickers...but 
WAIT! How do we know this is what the people want?
 For a kingdom movement to 
succeed it needs grass roots support. 
His Lordship Joe Q Rumballs <- not  a 
real person     should give his period thumbs up. 
This is the starting gate 
and controls the momentum and schedule
 (pronounced shedjool) going forward. 
1) Do we have a mandate from the masses?
2) Do we have the support in 
principal but maybe not at this moment in time? 
Number 1 means go forth 
gangbusters and make it happen.
2 means work is to be done on the reasons 
why people are not yet ready. SO, we need a poll.
 A snapshot of the current 
level of support in the populous populace of Tir Righ.
 So, please fill it out.
 
https://sites.google.com/site/tirrighkingdompoll1/ 

 Pass the word to 
others. We will steer for a very high return rate of paid members.  The 
September paid population of Tir Righ was 542. I want to see us top 80%.  So 
forward to branches through out Tir Righ, please.

Kingdom Heraldic & Scribal Symposium


Reserve the date on your calendar now -- October 19 in Adiantum. 
We are combining two events:
Baronial Championships & Harvest Feast
and
Kingdom Heraldic & Scribal Symposium

You can compete to be the Bardic Champion, the Thrown Weapons Champion, or the Heavy Fighting Champion of Adiantum. We are working on adding other fighting scenarios to the Championship Tourney. 

There will be a tasty but inexpensive buffet lunch (12-1 pm) and a delicious feast at 5:30 pm. 

There will be multiple tracks of classes for scribes and heralds, from beginning to advanced levels. The Adiantum website should have a list of classes by mid-September.

Please forward this to your local lists and chat groups!

There is so much more I could talk about. Many 
of you know I could talk all day & loud too.

I strongly recommend that officers & ideally you too, be
on the email lists of your local groups.Lots of fun to be had
& lots of conflict and confusion to be avoided.
& the delete feature works on all of them.
