Greetings to all Warranted Marshals in the Kingdom of Ealdormere.

As we begin to see an encouraging glimmer of light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, we're getting our administrative ducks in a row in preparation for the resumption of in-person martial activities in Ealdormere after sixteen months of slumber. To that end, we're moving the due date for Annual "Doomsday" Reports for Marshals from the usual September 1st to August 1st for this year only (yet another Covid exception). After the uncertainty of the extended lockdown, this will be an opportunity to ensure our records are up-to-date, and will allow those whose memberships lapsed in the interim to renew them before we return to the list field.

The reporting process is very easy - the Marshal's Report Form is available on the Kingdom web page (link below) and only takes a few minutes to fill out.
This request applies to all martial disciplines. The ever-efficient Master Gunther has already begun this process for Archery and Thrown Weapons Marshals, so there is no need to report again if you've already done so.
Also, for those that are Marshals for youth activities - please ensure that your background checks are current, and include that status in the comments section of your Report.

Many thanks to you all for your cooperation with this. I look forward to seeing you on the list field soon.

Greetings Ealdormere,

With the changes happening in how the province is moving forward, we've had to update our own reopening plan (PDF). You'll notice that our previous plans were based on Covid case counts within the province. The updated plan is based on Ontario's road map to reopening (link is in the document) which is using the percentage of the population vaccinated as its determinants for moving forward.

There are things that may be confusing as the Province and our Kingdom move forward; some activities will need to wait longer than others (as noted in the reopening document) and as a Kingdom you've all been very patient but it is good to remember that we are moving forward even if it feels slow at times.

There are three parts to the updated document.

1. The first is just a few points/reminders (for example; event means anything published on official channels - so practices, A&S, meetings, events, etc).
2. The second part is the reopening plan itself which consists of three phases. We are currently in phase 1/closed.
3. The third part is a quick summary of some of the relevant points of Ontario legislation (as of May 31st, 2021) that apply to our organization and are the reasons for some of the decisions that we had to make.

As always if you have any questions, please email me at ealdormere.kseneschal@gmail.com

In service,
