The next meeting of the Ruantallan Curia (our local executive) will take place by Zoom on Wednesday 10 September, starting at 7 pm.
At that meeting we will be considering event bids received for Baronial events. In particular we are looking for bids for Baronial Twelfth Night, for January 2026. We will also be looking at a demo bid, and talking about expanding the scope of demos within the Barony. There is information to share from the Exchequer about financial policies coming from the Kingdom. I would also like to have a conversation about better attendance for the Friday fight practice. Here is the Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83693022479?pwd=JLH5bs3cPRl94Lb4I2t7ElZlqnEbIG.1
We will be voting on the positions of Herald, Webminister (each for their second term), and Company Captain of the Archers (for the first term). We have one candidate for each position at this time. If you would like to serve, there is still time to apply.
As well, we will be voting on the new revision of the Standard Operating Procedures for the Barony. Thank you, those who have already sent in their comments on the current draft. There’s still time to comment, you can find a copy of the draft on the Baronial website, just below this announcement.

The Ruantallan Curia is looking for comments from the populace on a revised edition of the Standard Operating Procedures for the Barony. The 2025 edition has made a number of changes to bring our meeting schedule and financial procedures in line with current practice. There is also a new section about Baronial Champions. The newest version is attached to the email sent out to the Ruantallan Email List . Old sections to be removed are struck through, new sections to be added are highlighted in yellow.If you have any comments you would like to share on this new edition, please email them to seneschal@ruantallan.eastkingdom.org before our Curia meeting on 10 September 2025.

Next Baronial Archery Practice is on 13/14 September at 168 Hamilton Road, Berwick NS B0P 1E0
Description: This is our bigger, better Ruantallan Baronial Archery Practice, not just one day, but two. That means two days of scoring! Come for one or for both, and you can camp over if you would like. We expect a potluck dinner on Saturday night. There is also a pond available for swimming, should the weather be cooperative. There is no cost for this practice. We ask that you wear garb, as is our custom at our shoots in the Valley.
Note: If fire restrictions and wildfires persist into September, we may have to cancel this practice, in which case we would have a practice at the Quarry on Saturday instead. Watch for a notice as the time gets near.
