Greetings unto the populace of Northshield,
Your Kingdom Needs You
The SCA is, except for a handful of corporate positions, an all-volunteer organization. As Baroness Sorcha, the Kingdom Seneschal, pointed out, it takes 100-150 people to volunteer for the various kingdom offices, from Great Officers of State to the regional deputies to the various specialist deputies. The Chronicler’s office has an above-average number of open or vacant positions, starting at the top.
I am stepping down as Kingdom Chronicler at Boar’s Head on December 2, 2023. The office is officially open for letters of intent for my successor to step up then. As a great office of state, the office has a voice and the responsibility of being a member of the Stallari Council. It is largely an administrative position, overseeing the more specialized deputies and making sure those positions are filled. One of my favorite duties is submitting nominations for the William Blackfox Awards, the Society chronicler awards. While experience as a chronicler, webminister, and/or social media officer can be helpful, it is not required. If you have questions about the kingdom chronicler position, or would like to be a deputy kingdom chronicler to get a feel for the office, let me know.
Please submit letters of intent to chronicler@northshield.org by September 1, 2023.
Bâro Iohannes’ tenure as Kingdom Webminister comes to an end this November. Please submit letters of intent to chronicler@northshield.org by September 1, 2023.

Many hands make light work. If anyone is interested in learning more about the chronicler’s office, and/or is interested in becoming either a local group chronicler, a deputy kingdom chronicler, or the kingdom chronicler, please let me know. I will be very glad to talk to you about it.
Ever in service to Crown, Kingdom, and you,
