seneschal_badgeGreetings to All Kingdom Seneschals in North America,

There has been much discussion lately concerning the use of waivers at demos held by local groups.

After reaching a consensus with the Corporate officers, effective immediately, waivers are required for demos that allow the public to participate in combat archery and/or thrown weapons.

At that point, with possibly other activities as well, viewers become participants and a waiver must be signed.  Minors MUST have their parent or legal guardian sign such waivers.

The Seneschal’s Handbook will be updated very soon to reflect this policy. […]

Thank you for your support.

Respectfully,
Mike Watkins
Society Seneschal

Pennsic_War_35_Champions_battle_sizedThe following announcement is from the official Pennsic website:

In compliance with new Pennsylvania Commonwealth Law and due to potential medical risk considerations involving martial activities the following policy is now in effect:

Minors authorized in Martial activities and bearing a gold tape diamond on their helms on which their parent or legal guardian’s cell phone number is written, may participate in battles. Parents should have the cell phone in hand in case of emergency.

The Gazette will keep you posted on new developments if and as they arise.
