Appendix 8
In the November A.S.
XXIII issue of the PALE, the formation of the as-yet unnamed newsletter to
the Crown Principality of Ealdorrnere was announced by its new chronicler.
"Unto all chroniclers in the
Crown Principality of Ealdorrnere, from Lady Amyfelyse Alexandra Ivez de
Mintestede, Crown Principality Chronicler.
Greetings all!
Firstly, congratulations to the new
Crown Principality and all those who helped in the creation of this new status.
Secondly, due to this change in
status, we will now need a Principality newsletter. In order to set this up I
will meet with our Lord and Lady Lieutenants, Baron Aedan and Baroness Enid.
During this meeting I hope that we will come up with a basic structure for the
new newsletter, along with ideas pertaining to content, frequency, funding,
etc. With luck, and some hard work, I expect to have the initial issue ready
for November 1st. This, of course, depends on when the meeting actually takes
place. One of the first things that will need to be done is to choose a name
for our new newsletter. I have, in my mind, the idea of some kind of contest,
with the populace voting on the submission.
Thirdly, although we are now a
Crown Principality, we are still part of the Middle Kingdom, and I the Society
as a whole, and therefore must still follow their laws and regulations. In
particular, the B.O.D. has devised a new disclaimer. This must be on all Middle
Kingdom newsletters by November A.S. XXIII (1988). The new disclaimer, as
appears on page 6 of the September A.S. XXIII PALE,is as follows:
This is the <NAME OF
PUBLICATION>, a publication of the <NAME OF BRANCH I OR GROUP> of the
Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. <NAME OF PUBLICATION> is available
from <NAME AND ADDRESS OF PUBLISHER>. It is not a corporate publication
of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc., and does not delineate S.C.A.
Policy.
Any publication which omits this
disclaimer without specific Board authorization may not cite the name of the
Society or any of its branches or educational organizations as the publishing
authority and may not publish any official rulings or notices for participants
in Society activities; nor may the publication be funded by any subdivision of
the Society and no funds for the publication may be held or disbursed from any
bank account bearing the Society's Taxpayer [sic] ID.
For your information: the name EALDORMERE is Anglo-Saxon,
constructed from ealdor, 'lord/noble/senior' and mere, 'lake'. The name was
selected by vote of members in the Society resident in the Province of Ontario
Well, I believe that this is all for now, remember, if any
of you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or complaints, please feel
free to either write or phone. Written this 12th day of September,A.S. XXIII
(1988).
In service to the (Crown) Principality and the Mid-Realm,
(signed Amyfelyce)
SEMPER VIVAT EALDORMERE
