Thrown Weapons Practices (re-posted from Wyewood Archery list)

I’m pleased to announce that Evrard has two new Assistant Thrown Weapons Deputies for Wyewood, Dearbhail and Rurik.
Additionally, I’m very happy to say that they have volunteered to run thrown weapons practices on Saturdays at the Wyewood range per the schedule below. As most of you know, I will not be available for a while during my recovery from surgery.
The start and end time for some of these TW practices may vary from archery practice – the TW marshal assistant deputy who is in charge for the date will announce the start and end times a day or two in advance of the practice date.
As for archery practice, if weather is an issue the TW deputy who is in charge of running that date’s practice will confirm via the Wyewood Archery yahoo list whether or not thrown weapon practice is on or cancelled for a particular date.

Seeking recommendations for the Wyeknot

Greetings onto the Barony of Wyewood.

We are coming upon our winter feast. During this time we
traditionally give out Wyewoods highest award. The Wyeknot.
We do not have to give one out each year, but we’d really,
really, really, like to.

The Wyeknot is given out for long and dedicated activity in
the Barony for Martial, A&S, or Service. Or, any combination of
the three. A similar award in Madrone is the Red Branch.
In Blatha An Oir it is similar to the L’Ordre du Gaunt d’Or.

One of the “requirements” of the Wyeknot is: “Wyewood just
wouldn’t be the same without them here.” Don’t worry about
if the person you recommend may not have some of our
lower awards. Since we are new, we will be doing some of
this “out of order” for a while. ;{)

The members of the Order of the Wyeknot, Myself and
her excellency are waiting to hear from you.

Also, if you know of anyone who is deserving of recognition
for any award, or a Piece of the True Wye, please contact us
before January.

Thank you!
In Service

Robert and Gabrielle, Baron and Baroness of Wyewood
