  • Heralds at CalonCon

    Greetings all!

    Our CalonCon meeting is from 2pm to no later than 5pm. I hope to be done sooner, but that's how long I made the Zoom meeting.
    It shouldn't ask, but just in case:
    Meeting ID: 879 4402 5348
    Passcode: 477957
    Here's my anticipated agenda:

    1. Heraldry is cool!
    2. My focus is on recruitment and enthusiasm, because while our heralds are great, we need more.
    3. As part of recruitment, we need a better path to Red Hawk, Eyas, Saker, and other mare advanced titles, so we need to improve training.
    4. Shoshanah is new Habicht. Please give her whatever help you can.
    5. I propose to reactivate the Kite, Sparrow Hawk, and Harrier herald titles for newer heralds to get experience. Exact roles up to the Gold Falcon based upon anticipated need to replace folks.
    6. Ask heralds in offices to actively seek for and train a replacement/deputy. These recruits may help fill above reactivated heraldic titles.
    7. Dyrfinna would like to talk about how paying for submissions has changed.
    8. Preventing Burnout.
    9. Heralds retreat. Thoughts of when and where.
    10. Where do we want to see the College of Heralds go?
    11. Next Gold Falcon and other anticipated job openings.
    Thanks everyone!
    Rhodri

  • Food Truck Update


  • Pennsic Pre-registration Deadline

    Greetings Calontir from your Pennsic Land Agent,
    Friday, 14 June 2024 will be the cut off for Paid Online Pre-registration for Pennsic 51.
    We currently have 35 people pre-registered with Calontir for Pennsic 51. This is concernedly low. Given that Paid Pre-Registration closes the final Friday of Lilies War, it is very important that anyone planning to attend Pennsic 51 to pre-register before leaving for Lilies (which starts this Friday). 
    Paid pre-registration with “Populace of Calontir” is the only way to ensure your 250sqft allotment is correctly applied to Calontir for Pennsic.
    Once you've pre-registered at https://www.cooperslake.com/prereg/account/index.php, please email (to CalonPennsicLandAgent@gmail ) your tent dimensions, expected arrival date and time, who is camping with you, and any considerations I (as Calontir's Land Agent) should know about.
    Thanks to everyone who has already pre-registered and contacted me with their information.

    Looking forward to seeing many of you at Lilies and later at Pennsic,

    Vigal Valr Viligisl (Vels)
