9/1/23 & 9/2/23 Sacred Stone Baronial Birthday 2023 - Elchenburg Castle

Reservationist and Gate Minister (Troll)

Not only did I have reservations and Gate put my Peers husband - Adrian Alma - Lord Robert Shockley of Avonsford was elevated to Pelican.  I finally met Master Grimm (what a delight) and Mistress E and Lorelei were there as well.  Everyone made items ( I did the bycocket and it was lovely to be included in the escort group as he was presented.  

Not only Master Robert, but Eva Boegerts (Machteld) was elevated to Pelican, Nuala was elevataed to Pelican and Patrice was elevated to Laurel.  A very busy court.  It was an honor to be included in his elevation and to be a sneaky Gate Minister to sneak in guest for Eva Boegerts elevation from Middle Kingdom.  This was Eva's comment in her Thank you's.  

"Catherine Yvonne King", sneaky, sneaky, sneaky........ you made sure the surprise was kept.  

                   This was also my first time camping at a SCA event.  I'll add my commentary to the blog post.

I was able to wear my new Serafina coronet and I felt so inspired.  

Then it begins......................

5 days of Gate and money management for a large event.  I designed a new daily money and attendance sheet for reconciling and modified it when I saw that the SCORES reservation attendance needed to be broken out of the daily attendance to balance cash on hand.
