[Wyewood] Important message regarding event cancellation through the end of May, 2020

[Ruslund Geyer]

A message forward from the Kingdom Seneschal. 
In service, 
Avine 

Greetings People of An Tir,
After continuing to monitor the ongoing efforts by the modern health
authorities to combat the spread of COVID-19, the Crown and I have made the
difficult decision to extend the cancellation of events and activities in An
Tir through the end of May 2020.
While this impacts several local branch events, it will also affect An Tir's
May Crown Tournament. I have requested and received the needed variance from
the Society Seneschal to delay the tournament until July Coronation. This is
a large departure from our traditions in this Kingdom but I have every
confidence that An Tir will continue to thrive despite these challenging
times.
The Crown and I have been in regular communication with the Kingdom Events
Deputy to make the needed adjustments to July Coronation. I would like to
take this opportunity to thank the Barony of Vulkanfeldt and the event staff
for May Crown who put in a tremendous amount of work on behalf of the
Kingdom to host the event. I would also like to thank the Shire of Lionsdale
and the July Coronation event team for being extremely receptive and
creative with finding solutions to accommodate a Crown Tournament into an
already full weekend. You all have my deepest gratitude.
At July Coronation, the Crown Tournament will take place on Saturday
morning. King Christian and Queen Helene have decided not to place limits on
the list entrants. However, we would like to strongly encourage participants
in the tournament to pre-register in order to facilitate a streamlined and
efficient start to the day's proceedings. The victors of the Crown List will
be crowned the next King and Queen of An Tir during Saturday evening court.
The Kingdom Champion Tournament will replace the Squires Tournament on
Sunday morning.
The schedule for July Coronation is still being determined and we will need
a little time to iron out the additional details surrounding meetings and
other activities. These meetings and activities will be dependent on
schedule availability and the needs of the event due to these special
circumstances. Please keep an eye out in the coming several weeks for more
information from the event staff regarding the schedule.
Finally, we are an international Kingdom and the Crown and I are aware that
there are some travel advisories in place affecting the US/Canadian border.
We will continue to monitor the border status as well as the health
advisories affecting the municipalities in all parts of An Tir. Future
decisions regarding events will be based on the most current information
available to us.
In proud service to Crown and Kingdom,
Mistress Alianora Greymoor, OP
Seneschal of An Tir
The Crowns of An Tir have published their own announcement regarding this
difficult decision.
