As was announced at the quarterly baronial meeting on March 23rd, we are preparing for Their Excellencies Gareth and Hillary to step down. Here, you can find a brief timeline of what to expect when it comes to polling for our new leaders! But first, a brief message from Her Excellency Hillary to any prospective candidates.
For those who wish to put their names in the poll for the baronial seat, you have our respect. It is truly the best position one could hold in the SCA. Landed barons and baronesses are the voice of the crown to the people, and the voice of the people to the crown. You will be the cheerleaders of Ayreton, sharing the amazing work that the populace are accomplishing with the rest of the Midrealm. You are always observing, always grateful, and helping others find their way, celebrate their successes and building community. You are the people who ensure everyone has a seat at the table. It is a wonderful position to hold, and we will always be grateful to Ayreton and the Crowns for letting us do so.
