[Top] [Contents]Well, another month gone. I hope all of you had safe and happy journeys to and from Rowany Festival. Congratulations to Master Hrothgar on his elevation to the Order of the Pelican, and well done on stewarding this year's festival. It was also wonderful to see so many heralds working with their Majesties in the role of court herald.
There are a few points I want to raise relating to submissions. Firstly, hang the man who invented staples! Please do NOT staple your submissions together, they need to be immediately pulled apart and sent to different places. Paperclips are fine. Secondly, please do NOT use enlarged computer generated clip art to represent charges. These become pixillated and as such are not acceptable representations! In some cases it violates rules of Armorial Identifiabililty (RfS VII7.a) and will need to be returned. If you feel you can't draw the charges free hand, try enlarging your image and then tracing it by hand to produce a acceptable illustration. And lastly (for this month anyway!), please ensure when citing websites from the Academy of St Gabriel, and others, that you include copies of the pages used. In most cases, the front introduction page of the article and the relevant page will suffice.
Also, should anyone be unable to restrain themselves from sending pedantic grammatical comments relating to this, my second only newsletter, I should certainly appreciate it if you would direct your comments to myself personally at herald@sca.org . Let's not clutter up the Blazons list with complaints of typos please. I shall expect these concerns to be accompanied by your expression of interest in filling the position of Crux Australis Herald - or it will be the Wet Haddock of Impertinence for you!
