IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The move to our new site, Ss. Robert and William Catholic Parish, aka Saint Billy-Bob, went smoothly. Their Excellencies thank everyone who helped transport baronial equipment. See our seneschal Mistress Angharad if you have suggestions about how best to use the space.
We need to vacate the site between 9:30 and 10 p.m.
The new site is at 367 E. 260th St., Euclid. Go to the school, not the church.

March 27 revel: The lists will close at 8 p.m. for a brief Baronial court.
Cooks challenge: Make a dish that an army on the march would carry with it.
April: Armored Tournament
May: Swap meet and possible cookout
