We had a successful archery practice last week, and we’ve got one scheduled for this upcoming Sunday. I have a few others scheduled for some random Sundays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and will be held at Iron Hill Science Center, 1115 Robert L. Melson Lane, Newark, DE 19702. Presently we have the following dates scheduled:
Sunday, July 22
Sunday, September 2
Sunday, September 9
Sunday, September 23
I have a tentative hold on Sunday, October 7, but that will be decided later as I may be gone at an event far way that weekend.
Looking forward to seeing folks, we have some (limited but it is available) loaner gear so please come out if you’re interested.

August Shire Business Meeting at Iron Hill Science Center, 1115 Robert L. Melson Lane, Newark, DE 19702. Click here for directions.
We’ll have our meeting at 10:00 then go for Chinese buffet for lunch after and that will provide opportunity for folks to get to fight practice or thrown weapons if that is on the calendar for that day.
Good Morning Adamantians! The poll is in. We had 19 total responses. The weeknight that most folks could make was Thursday, with a high of 7 people at 7:00. Compare that with Sunday responses, where 10 folks said that 1:00 worked. (That is the highest “yes” time frame). We now have data to support what we were already doing.
With 73.3% of the people saying “Yes” to a Google HangOut for the meeting, and two folks saying “No” we will give it a trial run at the March meeting.
I went ahead and scheduled us for March 25th at Iron Hill Science Museum at 1:00, as there were issues with every other Sunday of the month. We don’t want to deprive Fighter Practice of it’s marshals so we will try to keep the business end of the meeting quick.
For those interested, (totally optional) I am thinking about the Red Robins for lunch before hand. Or there is the McGlynns pub… anyone been there? I am open to other options. Thoughts? Preferences?

Sunday, October 28 Shire meeting, social, and added to it, Wiki Work Day!
As you may have seen, Baron Adolphus is hosting a gathering at his home in Dover that is to start as the Shire Business meeting, but then continue on to a social/newcomer/gathering things.
There will be people (even if it is just me) and computers available for East Kingdom Wiki Page creation, edits, and updates.
Please think of things you would like to have on your Wiki page so we can create one for you if you don’t already have one.
Mine is here. And you can link from this one to other peoples to see what folks put on their pages for ideas.
If you have a picture you would like added, make sure you have it available electronically to send me (FB messenger, email, text, whatever).

Baron Adolphus Benner has graciously opened his house to the populace of the Shire of Caer Adamant, and friends, for a social gathering geared towards the new and curious people who want to know all the things about the SCA. We will start the day with the Business Meeting at noon, then a potluck BBQ and lawn games, weather permitting. (Nasty weather will force us to all snuggle on the couch.)
This is open to all members of the Shire, their guests and anyone who is curious about us.
Please bring a dish or treat to share, a lawn chair and any crafty or lawn games you wish.
Garb is not necessary, unless you want to fight or fence, then you must be dressed appropriately for those activities. Any fighting/fencing will be informal and at the whim of those present, so it may or may not happen. Same with any craft or game activities.
Please bring a dish or treat to share, a lawn chair and any crafty or lawn games you wish. There are two cats in the house, who will most likely hide. The house has a small stair at the front door, but is all on one level, so if you have mobility issues, we will get you inside easily.
Questions? Email Baron Adolphus at seneschal@caer-adamant.eastkingdom.org

Are you thinking of finally registering a device? Maybe at Pennsic? Do you already have a device or badge, but want to know the best way to display & use it? Are you a fighter who might proudly march to war for the honor of the mighty East Kingdom? Well this might just be for you!
Your friendly neighborhood heralds will be presenting a Heraldic Primer at 12:00 PM on Sunday, July 23rd. We’ll let you know the basics of heraldry, help with possible submissions for Pennsic, discuss ways to display and use your heraldry, and do some heraldry recognition for possible opponents our fighters might see at war.
Come learn to identify a unit from An Tir from a unit from Calontir. Separate Meridies from Ealdomere. Tell a Tuchuk from a Trimaran.
Monthly Business Meeting for the Shire of Caer Adamant will be on Sunday, June 25, 2017, beginning at 12:00 noon. All are welcomed to attend. Dress is modern (no garb, please).
