From the Seneschal
Greetings to all the peoples of Abertridwr and all others who read this.
Once again a month has come and gone and we are racing towards then silly season of Demos and
events.
The next few months see something on most weekends be it demo, event or class.
Please all remember to take time out for yourselves to recoup so you do not lose the fun that you have in
the SCA.
Your participation is greatly appreciated and all efforts and contributions are welcome.
Balingup Medieval Carnivale is this coming weekend and I know it is being well supported by everyone
from all the groups here in the Western Reaches of Lochac.
On the 18th of September we have the Talk like a Pirate Day Demo at the Elizabethan Village and again
all help is valuable and welcome. (See flyer in this issue)
While we are talking about contributing to Abertridwr, I would advise that we have a couple of offices
that are currently vacant:
1. List Officer who runs the lists at Tourneys and keeps the records of the fighting for the Group
2. Constable who collects indemnities at events and keeps the peace and the indemnity forms for
the Group
3. Publicity Officer who organises publicity, and liaises for demos and organises stewards to run the
demos - Talk to Kane
If you feel that you would like to contribute to Abertridwr in any of these offices please send me an email
outlining your Mundane Name, SCA Name, Member number and expiry date and anything you may feel
is relevant. If you wish to discuss the duties of these offices, feel free to contact me either in person or by
email or phone and I will give you the details of what is expected.
We had a work day at Wandi last Sunday, 21st August, making up the additional List ropes. To those who
came, thank you, we achieved what we sought to. A number of new list ropes so our list field can now
be bigger.
Our next meeting is on Sunday September 4th, which just happens to be Father’s Day, as our policy is
that the only meetings you really have to attend is the one before reports are due, and as there is no
other Sunday when we could have it, I decided to leave it on the 4th. The only major things to be
discussed at this meeting is the Baronial Advancement and Pencampwr.
Your officers are doing a great job as always, and if you happen to see one in the pursuit of their office
maybe just a quiet thank you to let them know you see what they are doing and appreciate their efforts.
With events coming up you all need to think about who you feel is deserving of recognition, write to Their
Excellencies and to the Crown and recommend people for awards. The awards are how we show
people that we see what they are doing and we appreciate it.

Two Anglo-Saxon Riddles
My garb is ashen and in my garments
bright jewels, garnet-coloured, gleam. I mislead muddlers, despatch the thoughtless on fool's errands, and thwart
cautious men in their useful journeys.
I can't think why, addled and led astray,
robbed of their senses, men praise my ways to everyone. Woe betide addicts when they bring the dearest of hoards on
high unless they've foregone their foolish habits
The answer to this riddle will be in next month’s
Rhol.
Last month’s answer : FIRE Riddle sent in by Lady Alianore de Essewell
“Ic eom wunderlicu wiht: ne mæg word sprecan, mældan for monnum, þeah ic muþ hæbbe, wide wombe. Ic
