(5/23/2012) - Greetings unto the Populace of the most ancient and glorious Barony of Loch Salann, here are the words of your Seneschal.

The rays of the Summer sun have begun pounding on the mountains, valleys, and flats of the most ancient barony, and it appears as if it will be a long and hot one. Fighter practice is in full swing at our ancestral summer site of Sugarhouse Park, and attendance is high! Be safe as you go about your Summer activities (Medieval and otherwise) and KEEP HYDRATED!!!

The camping season has officially launched, with several members of the Barony heading down to Red Bridge to support their Arabian Nights event! At the writing of this, Quest is this weekend and Melee Madness is just over a week away! Wow, the weeks are just flying by, and Uprising will be here soon!

As our events and practices move outside, we urge parents to stay ever vigilant over their children, know where they are, who they are with, and what they are doing at all times. We would also like to remind parents that youth activities are here for the enjoyment and enrichment of our youth. They are not a babysitting service, and we urge you to attend the activities with your children. Let’s have a safe and fun camping/outdoor season.

As the everlasting peace between Loch Salann and Gryphon’s Lair does indeed seem to be everlasting (for this year at least), their Excellencies of Loch Salann have asked that a Tournament of Virtues be held in July. A competition will be held for Baroness’ Champion based on Peer like virtues, to include A&S entries, a tournament of games, a test of knowledge of heraldry, combat (and a test of knowledge of combat for those competing for the A&S Champion), and a bardic. Come out to the South Jordan Equestrian Park July 21st to participate or support your favorite fighter/artist in their quest to be Baroness’ Champion! Lord Markos Armenios will be Autocratting this event. Please contact him with any questions you have.

All of our offices currently have officers and we have a slew of new deputies over the last few months. If you have ever considered serving the Barony in any capacity, but did not know where to start, being a deputy is a great way to learn. Contact myself, or the current officer, for more information on any of the deputy positions you are interested in.

Our Fighter Practice is at our Summer location in Sugarhouse Park, every Wednesday night starting at 7:00 pm and going until dark. Archery/Thrown Weapons Practice is at our Summer location at 2741 West 8600 South in West Jordan, on Thursdays at 6:00 pm until dark.
