Virtual Equestrian Marshal in Training Program

19 Sunday Dec 2021

Posted by aethgazette in Announcements, Equestrian, Event Announcements & Updates, Kingdom News, SCA @ Home

≈ Leave a comment

Starting January 4th, 2022, there will be monthly Virtual Equestrian Marshal Trainings. These training will be open to anyone interested in our known world.

Our virtual Equestrian Marshal in Training meetings will occur on the First Tuesday of the month at 7PM EST.

Each training session is designed to last 90 minutes, depending on questions. The monthly meetings will be posted on the SCA Equestrian Facebook page, and if possible, emails can be sent out with meeting agenda and log in information.

  • This virtual Equestrian Marshal in Training Program will primarily cover the SCA Equestrian Handbook, Weapon inspections, and Event / Practice planning including all required paperwork and marshal reports.
  • Each Kingdom will be responsible for adding additional information to this program which is specific for their Kingdom.
  • The Æthelmearc Equestrian Marshal in Training will be on a separate day to be announced. These virtual trainings will cover the theoretical sections of the Equestrian Marshal in Training program.
  • The program requires hands on sections as well. Please arrange hands on training (i.e. weapon inspection, mock authorization, organizing an event or marshaling a practice) with your Kingdom Equestrian Officer.
  • The goal to be is to record these trainings for future references and provide additional training videos as we move forward over the next few months.

Requirements for becoming an Equestrian Marshal in Training (EMIT):

Becoming an SCA Equestrian Marshal is not as easy as showing up and saying you want to be a Marshal.

Being an Equestrian Marshal requires a good knowledge of horses, horsemanship, riders, games and the SCA’s rules and regulations.

There are a number of steps which must be completed, under the supervision of an Equestrian Marshal (EQM) in good standing with the Kingdom, in order to become an Equestrian Marshal.

You must demonstrate your knowledge in all these areas in a defined sequence in order to be approved and warranted as an Equestrian Marshal.

1) Establish and maintain membership in the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA).

2) Find an Equestrian Marshal to sponsor / train you and get another to recommend you. Both must sign your EMIT log to document this sponsorship.

3) Authorize as a General Rider and authorize to participate in Mounted Games and maintain these authorizations.

4) Approval of the Kingdom Equestrian Officer is required to become an Equestrian Marshal in Training

auth forms, Authorizations, Authorizations Clerk, online auths

Big news from our Kingdom Authorizations Clerk:

The Kingdom Authorization Clerk has introduced a new online option for filing your Authorization paperwork. The paper form will not be going away, this is an enhancement of the current process. There will still be physical Authorization Cards sent to each fighter.

Here is the new process:

  • You will fill out either the paper authorization form OR go online to fill out the online form.*
  • You will either tear off the top portion of the paper form to show at the MOL table OR you will need to have your email confirmation available on your phone to show to the MOL.
  • You will either send in the bottom portion of the paper form to the Authorization Clerk (remembering to include a SASE) OR the Authorization Clerk will pull the online information.
  • The Authorization Clerk will then issue you an Authorization Card and send it to you via USPS.

At the MOL table you will need to have your authorization card, a picture of your authorization card on your phone, the top portion of the paper form, or the email confirmation you received when filling out the online form.

With electronic delivery of the confirmation, you *must* have the email pulled up on your phone to show at the table. The MOLs will not be able to provide you with a device to log into your email to produce that information. You may want to consider taking screen shots of the email so you have a backup in the event that there is minimal or no bandwidth available at the event site.

If you have any questions contact either the Kingdom MOL, Baroness Amelia Soteria, at mol@aethelmearc.org or the Kingdom Authorization Clerk, THL Deirdre Scot of Clann Scot, at authorization@aethelmearc.org.

*You can also find a link to the Adult and Youth forms here: https://aethelmearc.org/officers/authorizations-clerk/

Next Sylvan Bard selection process information

10 Sunday Oct 2021

Bardic

Gentles of Æthelmearc! Fellow lovers of performance and performing! Greetings!

The days of strangeness and plague continue in new and varied ways, but time moves on and so must we.

We – Bran and Gavin – have had the honor and delight of serving as your Sylvan Bard (dipartite) this year, and with Their Majesties Gareth and Juliana’s ascension to the Sylvan Throne, the time has come to determine who will take up the mantle next.

While Kingdom Tradition holds that the successor to the role is chosen by competition at the Kingdom 12th night celebration, the continued pestilence means we will be without that opportunity.

SO, we will create a new opportunity in its place!

**Beginning October 7th, and proceeding through the last day of December, we will be accepting shortish (say 3-7 minutes, hard limit of 10min) performance VIDEO RECORDINGS via the Sylvan Bard email – email here. (Please send us a link to a location we can download from, like dropbox or google drive)

Song! Story! Poem! Bring us your best delightful performance in celebration of the new year, rebirth and renewal, and an eventual return to our desired ways of doing things.

We will send you a receipt email, and will curate the performances together into a 12th night concert/competition, with performances by ourselves, and your wonderful personages, from which Their Majesties will select their new Bardic Champion.

Any questions may be directed to the sylvan bard email above. Thank you, break a leg, and be well and joyful!

YIS

Lord Gavin Kent – Sylvan Bard of His Majesty

Crown tournament entrance requirements, Letters of intent

Their Royal Highnesses Gareth & Juliana are calling for those gentles who wish to succeed them in the Sylvan Line to vie for that honor in Their Crown Tournament on October 9th.

As is tradition, all who wish to compete in the tournament must satisfy all requirements in  Æthelmearc Kingdom law. In addition, we wish the following from potential heirs:

First, all fighters and their consorts must be present for the entirety of the tournament.

Second, the use and presence of banners displaying both fighters and consorts devices for the procession is highly encouraged.

Third, all fighters should make a thorough effort to hide modern armor and attire. Non-intrusive modern footwear is acceptable.

Finally, those vying to succeed Their Highnesses should have been active in this Kingdom, especially in the time preceding the pandemic.

Letters of intent should be received no later than September 16.

We look forward to a tournament full of honorable combat to determine Our Heirs!

Gareth & Juliana

Crown Prince & Princess of Æthelmearc

Æthelmearc Returns to Indoor Masking

10 Tuesday Aug 2021

Covid-19, masks

Greetings from your Kingdom Seneschal –

Due to the upswing in COVID-19 transmission, and in consultation with our Deputy Kingdom Seneschal for Pandemics, and Their Royal Majesties, we are now requiring all participants at SCA Æthelmearc events, practices, and gatherings, in counties with High and Substantial levels of transmission of COVID-19, to wear CDC recommended masks indoors regardless of vaccination status.

This follows CDC guidelines. You can find the CDC’s county-level transmission map here: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view

As you can see, unfortunately, much of AEthelmearc falls in this category as of Sunday, August 8th.

As a reminder – if someone is not fully vaccinated or is unvaccinated, they must wear a CDC recommended mask over their mouth and nose at all times at SCA events, practices, and gatherings (save when one is eating and drinking off by themselves.) This guidance also covers children above the age of 2 and who are not vaccinated.

To be clear, at this time, vaccinated folks do not have to be masked outdoors.

I know this is not what we wanted – I like many were hoping we’d have this pandemic behind us soon. Until that time, please take care and be safe and please get vaccinated if you can.

Thank you so much,
Always,
Illadore de Bedegrayne
Kingdom Seneschal
AEthelmearc
