Their Royal Majesties of Atlantia, Klaus and Cyffaith, rendered unto Trimaris the rights to “South of the Border – Pedro’s Place” as conquered territory, adding to Trimaris’ already large list of “curio shops” (tourist traps).

The demo was given for one class period to 40 gifted 5th graders. Master Barar discussed warfare and the development of armor, then allowed the children to line up and strike him with his sword while he was in full armor (one little girl smacked him a great shot and killed him!). Cassandra discussed the necessities and techniques of making clothing and all household linens from planting the flax or sheering the sheep right on through spinning, weaving and dyeing. She then took those children interested in learning to weave off to the side and worked with them (2 boys and 3 girls) for the rest of the demo. Menachem discussed various domestic sciences showing the new leather and wood bellows Master Holtmar made as an example and explained the different crafts the bellows could be used to help create. Lady Anna give the welcome and introduction to the SCA nd the members present, then talked about what a child’s life would be like in the Middle Ages (all the different ranks), how a woman ran the household while the men were off warring (sometimes while they were at home too), showing handmade soap, candles, Irish hand wash (liquid pourri) and then Menachem assisted her in showing the display table with its calligraphy supplies, books, costumes and SCA photo album.

This demo was given for one class period to about 75 (three classes) 6th graders. They were interested in a demo on knighthood, chivalry and armor without any fighting. So Master Barar laid out all his armor pieces and put on each piece as he discussed its function and name. All the other assisted him. Armoring up piece by piece fascinated the children and lasted most of our time. We broke up the armoring with Lady Anna talking about what the women did to run the household, she and Brighid (when not assisting Master Barar) passed around handmade soap, beeswax candles, Irish Hand wash and books showing types of armor and combat (donated and discussed by Seamus). After the demo we were detained by many of the children who wished to ask further questions and to play with the displays and the armor.

The Barony of Darkwater presented a filled Chirurgeon’s kit to the Kingdom Chirurgeon at Coronation. They also reported that the Barony has 37 units of blood in its account with the Central Florida Blood Bank with the main donor being Lard Gradheil.

(Historian’s Note) there was a particularly dangerous sport that
swept Trimaris during the past year called “bottle jousting” in which combatants stood on empty champagne bottles and jousted the other i.e. tried to knock each other off the bottles. It had a brief and exciting life span until this event. Apparently the combatants were using pole arms and one, slightly inebriated, got hit on the head with a steel counterweight, causing a spectacularly bloody (but not too serious) head wound. The Chirurgeonate protested this sport until faded out of existence even though there was a minor try at non-glass bottles and padded rattan poles.

Feast is Duc-de-pot luck but there will be a smorgesborg sandwich lunch on Saturday (due to site problems we are unable to have a feast, for this event the site is primative and water will be brought in – their water station went down about 2-20 and will not be working for the event. Showers will consist of a swim in the lake and port-a-jons will be brought in – kinda like Pennsic. we realize the cost of this event is excessive for a BOYE event, however, this includes airfare for His Grace and we were unable to obtain a site cost reduction).

A non-sword lyst (all heavy weapons except the sword), a swashbuckling list (for light weapons only), an archery contest (real arrows at fake targets), a knife throwing contest, an axe throwing contest, bottle jousting.
The theme of something different seemed to work well. The feast was an Aztec feast and the feastcrats were excited over the fact they had a real kitchen to work in. The previous feasts had been done on camp stoves and open fires. The event went well, although not as many people showed up as we had hoped. Feast was prepared for about 70 and only about 40 showed up. We still broke even, however, because we held feast at 3:00pm and almost all the daytrippers stayed for feast.

With nine members present at the meeting it was unanimously decided to use, with Serina’s permission, the name House Hobbyhorse for the parent co-op. The autocrats made their own cabin available throughout the day and a schedule was set up for the days activities…There were 5-6 children under the supervision most of the day with 8-9 children at peak times…I am happy to report that there were no incidents of unsupervised children which came to my attention all day.” Lord Eric went on to say that a special thanks should go to four members of the Shire of Narval Dorado who, with no children of their own in the co-op, assisted by freeing up several of the Kingdom staff to go about their duties without fearing for the care of their children. These were Cerydwyn Llywellyn, Baranriel of the Tribe Joyce, Susan Morrison, and Lady Susan van Hamm.

Domesday Report, Shire of Ac Scrin
As it stands for the year, I think that the Shire overall has prospered in most areas. In the mid’86 our shire lost the majority of its’ members due to mundane matters. When they left most skills and information went with them. We have replaced them with new members and those person have grown well in the society. We still have much to learn but we hope to do well.
During the year we did one event (Byrgengeld II, The Vampires Revenge) at camp Honi Honta, a demo for a local toy shop where we traded our services for toys to be donated to Toys for Tots, and a two day demo for a local high school, both educational and fighter orientated.
We have 7 fighters and a more active interest in armor construction. Archery and bow construction is growing also. Our work in the arts and sciences are improving especially in costuming.
We have tried to learn about and promote all the arts and sciences, and we hope to improve. We also hope to be more active in public and school demos during the upcoming year. All in all, we think that continuing education of ourselves and the well being of the shire are our primary concerns

Domesday Report for the Shire of Glymmerhold
The year 1987 started out with multiple problems for the shire. There was political unrest within the shire to the point that the seneschal had to be removed by the Kingdom Seneschal, Ian of Bein Dubh. Lord Godfried of Frisia took over but the problems continued to escalate until it was impossible to conduct business. It became necessary for Lord Ian, and TRM Erin and Branwen to physically come to the shire and install Vyctorya as seneschal. The reeve refused to allow Lord Godfried access to the shire funds or to see any of the financial records. After Vyctorya Swansea was installed and with pressure from the Kingdom Seneschal and the King and Queen, she was finally able to obtain the financial records. It was found that a considerable amount of money was missing and unacounted for. This eventually resulted in criminal charges being brought against the reeve Demitri (mka Jeffrey Taylor). In March 1987 Jeffrey Taylor was arrested for forgery and in July was found guilty of 6 counts of forgery. He was banished by King Baldar and Queen Ljudmilla.
A number of officer changes were also necessary due to the current officers not being paid members. This added to the friction causing a number of shire members to leave the group. The remainder of the shire members strived to obtain new members and participated in numerous demos. Eventually toward the end of the year things were settling down and the shire began to work as a until again. At years end the average meeting attendance was 18 members, all reports were on time and correct. The shire was doing about 2 demos per month and the harmony of the group was evident.

Domesday Report Shire of Oldenfeld
Greetings from Oldenfeld. The past year has been a big one for this shire. A year rife with positive energy and massive growth. Our membership is constantly increasing, both in simple participants and in fully paid members. I am not sure as I write exactly how many paid members we have, but the range lies in 20 to 30, with a total membership of 50+ and growing on an almost weekly basis. This growth can be attributed to a number of factors, primarily the type and age of members we have. Most are young college students, not skilled in SCA activities as of yet, but blessed with sane minds. As more discover the SCA they bring in their friends and the progression becomes almost geometric. We have a number of older more experienced members who serve as teachers and instruct these neophytes.
Guild night, held at the home of Brian, Buther, Nicole and Robin each Tuesday, is the time when much constructive work takes place – costuming, armoring and related skills are discussed in an informal atmosphere. It is a slow night when 20 people show up. On Sundays, our marshal Lord Morgan Alyn Alwyn and Deputy Archery Marshal, Skivval the Wanderer, instruct new folks in combat overseen by Brian. We do a number of unique things in this respect, primarily warmups and drills. Thursdays are Business Meetings alternating with fun meetings. These are held at FSU and almost always continue as members get together afterwards. Another factor influencing our growth is the return of older shire members to a participant status. Master Jed Silverstar and his apprentice Lady Suzanne Renee Barineau di Firenze are a constant help. Recently other older members, dropped out years ago due to bad politics, are expressing interest in returning.
We have a number of interest groups, chief among them are belly dancing, the Oldenfeld Players and multiple heraldry classes taught by Jed and Morgan. Frequent revels and attendance at Kingdom events have kept interest high.
There are only two problems I see at this time, but neither are that bad. The first is that we lack long term stability as a group with such a large percentage of our members being students. But the return of older, established members and new members from the community should give us the anchor to make this growth permanent. I also anticipate problems when the AOA’s start rolling in. A number of members are due in upcoming months and are very deserving. But the have-nots will not be happy. We intend to blunt this problem by promoting a good attitude (i.e. non-snobby) and teaching classes on Customs and Chivalry. All in all, things are looking good. We have two events on the calendar at this time and with the experience they give us, I hope tomake a kingdom bid come fall. In Service to the Society, Lord Drake Ruthendale, Seneschal of Oldenfeld.

Domesday Report, Shire of the Ruins
It has been a relatively quiet year in the Shire, if you don’t count losing a small war with Wyvernwood and Darkwater. We hosted the war and the Ruins Revel, both of which were one day revels. I have revived our Shire newsletter, the Ruins Record, after several years hiatus. Our membership has slowly grown, and I think that we have somewhere around 20 sustaining members. For 1988, we have several things planned. We have started to have regularly scheduled officer meetings on a monthly basis. On February 20th we will be repairing a small castle at a city park in Bartow. On March 26th, Wulfwynn and I will be married at an event hosted by the Shire and Cote de Vert. We hope to bid on one or two of the fighter or war collegiums this fall or winter. We also plan to prepare to bid for TMT in 1989. I hope to continue the slow, steady growth of 1987 and to use our freshly revived Shire newsletter to maintain communication throughout our rather far-flung group. In Service to Society and Trimaris, Kragon

Domesday Report from the Shire of Starhaven
In August it was proposed that we revive the archery unit. Our archery unit has not been seen sind Salt Wars. In October, Lord Geoffrey held an armoring workshop at which three of our members made armor for eight archers. In December the shire received 224 arrows and Mistress Atalaya held an arrow making workshop where we cut the tips off the arrows and produced SCA arrows from the purchased ones. A very major event was the formation of the College of Golden Keype. Starting in January, a small group of individuals (five) resigned their offices (three) and informed the shire they were going to petition for the formation of a college. With these resignations, this small clan of people severed their ties with the shire and started a completely independent group. This group was approved by the shire and was officially created in March. Relations between the Shire and College have just begun to improve in December and with the newer members of the College attending both groups and establishing communication lines. The Troubadour Laureate chain held by Triskele passed to Jhanos al-Carin. Both gentles are members of Starhaven. This means the Troubadour chain is spending the whole year within our shire. Lord Trinculo won the title of being King’s Champion for coming in second in Crown List both at TMT and Martinmas. This gentle is proving himself to be one of the best fighters in the Kingdom and we are very proud of him. Master Erik became a Pelican in November. This means that Starhaven has four peers, three of which are totally “home grown”, Master Holtmar, Mistress Strider, and Master Erik all received their award, grant, and patent of arms while living in Starhaven. We are also proud of our contribution towards the Kingdom Officers. During this past year, Master Erik has served as Triskele Herald, Lord Lance Nystrom has served as Sextant Herald, and Mistress Strider has served as Token Herald. All three of us have served as heralds for courts and lists, as well as wake up and announcements during the year. Lady Anonyma has served as the registrar for the Trimarian Royal University and Johan has served as the deputy Librarian of the Trimarian Royal University.

Domesday Report from the Shire of Storm
Mistress Katherine Angelique officially passed the keys of the seneschal’s office to Lord Corwin ap Arawyn o Carreg Cennen on May 1. The Shire traditionally held business meetings on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday with the 1st and 3rd Wednesday devoted to classes. The 5th Wednesdays are for Shire pot luck revels. This system has served us well. The meetings are held at the Clearwater East Public Library. Attendance has been steady and the meetings have been productive. The last year has seen the institution of regular fighter practices through Syr Ropesle de Sylveastan. During the summer months, we generally practice Monday and Tuesday evening. During the winter months we practice Sunday afternoons. Recently we moved our fighter practices to Crest Lake Park. This has resulted in a two page photo spread in the St. Petersburg times (including a color photo). Shire Storm has grown considerably in the martial arts and we now have about ten armored and qualified fighters. Our membership has remained steady, new memberships offsetting those who have left. Now that the Shire has reached a level of stability both in its membership and in the roster of officers, we feel that the time has arrived for more active recruitment. We will be taking advantage of the Bay Area Renaissance Festival at Largo to begin a drive to reach this goal.

Domesday Report from the Shire of Southkeype
The membership of the shire has undergone great changes during the past year, as a number of new members have joined an a number of old ones moved away. Southkeype events continue to set records for variety, some highlights were a Quest for Twelfth night, assisting the rest of the Pauldine at the Fighters Collegium which brought Duke Paul of Bellatrix to Trimaris, and Autumn Althing with Viking boat battles in wooden boat hulls, and the Tournament of the Sea Dragon, an all-challenge single and melee combat event with a variety of prizes. If our population ever shows signs of stabilizing we will put in a baronial petition. We have a membership of approximately 30, with the average attendance at meetings of about 15. We have great plans for 1988 and are going to try to boost the Southern Paludine alliance.
