“January 2, 2022 – Two Week Kingdom Closure

Good evening, East Kingdom Populace,

With the care of the Kingdom ever in mind, Their Majesties, Their Highnesses, the Seneschal-Elect, and the Kingdom Seneschal have agreed that we must shut down all in-person events, meetings, practices, and other activities in the East for two weeks, until January 17th.

The Omicron variant of COVID is at its peak for the next 2 weeks, is highly transmissible, and highly virulent. This is a risk we cannot ask folks on staff to take on behalf of the Kingdom.

Over the weekend of January 15th and 16th, we will revisit the scientific data to see whether extending or lifting this shut-down is warranted. Their Majesties and Their Highnesses will also review options for ethereal Court or postponed in-person events. We ask the populace for patience as the Royal Staff assess how to best address this delay in cherished plans.

In the meantime, we urge East’s Tyger populace to take good care of yourselves: practice social distancing, wear masks correctly at all times in public, and stay home when feeling ill, so that when we can gather, we can do so with joyful spirits.

In service to the Kingdom,

Medhbh inghean Ui Cheallaigh, Kingdom Seneschal
Audrye Beneyt, Kingdom Seneschal-Elect

Ioanes II and Honig II, Emperor and Empress
Ryouko’jin and Indrakshi, Heirs to the Tyger Throne”

Prep for Endewearde Hunt ongoing

Endewearde has been given permission to go down to the Hunt site and work on putting the place back in order pretty much any time that we want. As autocrat for the upcoming event, Master Godric is developing a list of things that need doing. If you’ve got some energy and want to spend some time outdoors in a constructive way, please consider putting in some time working at the site. ALL of the various campsites need lots of work.

You don’t need to wait for a coordinated clean-up day! If you want to head to the site for a few hours of work, please contact either me or Master Godric and get Steve’s number and simply send him a text to let him know you’re planning to head that way. You don’t need to wait for a response. Just text and go.

In Service,
Lord Gwillim, Seneschal Endewearde

There is also a GoFundMe for rental of a woodchipper; please consider assisting this way too.

updated the Officer page.

a Deputy-Exchequer-in-training and a Seneschal-in-training now exist. Those are unofficial designations, but Moire and David S. will become true officers in near future.
The requirements for branch officers were updated at the bottom of the Officers page.

There was a distinct lack of interest in a special business meeting to discuss these changes in Officers. Life is keeping folks busy.
