Their Excellency’s Missive
Unto the great Populace of Arn Hold do we send greetings!
What a grand event Coronation was! Please join us in celebrating His
Majesty Timmur and Her Majesty Saige ascension to the thrones. A crown
tournament will be held Oct 2nd in the Shire of Otherhill to establish the next heirs
to the Griffin Throne. Good luck to those from Arn Hold who will take to the field
and offer their service to Artemisia should The Fates grant them a victory that day.
Many thanks to the event steward and everyone who helped out at Museum Comes
to Life and all those who were vital in “making it happen.” A loud and boisterous
VIVAT! We remain constantly inspired by your many contributions and it was a
wonderful event again this year. As Engeline and Mikle will not be available to
steward this event next year we are in need of new volunteers. Please consider
serving your Barony by stewarding this annual demo in 2011 and contact the B&B
and Seneschal.
The Barony will celebrate the Agincourt Archery Festival Oct 8-10 in
Emmet with many fun activities including the Baronial Archery Championship
competition. And our cousins to the North are hosting the Kingdom Collegium in
Sentinel’s Keep Nov 6 in Missoula, MT. We hope you will be able to enjoy these
events as your schedules allow.
Have you caught someone doing something “extraordinary?” Regale us with the
stories of such deeds so that they may be recognized for their efforts. The O.A.R.S.
(on-line awards recognition system) has been serving us well in this capacity. We
eagerly await your input so that individuals and leaders are justly recognized. We
encourage those who are making award recommendations directly to the Crown to
send their recommendations to us as well, that we might lend our endorsement to
Their Majesties in such matters.
Our heartfelt thanks to you again for your tireless efforts and skills given to the
betterment of the Barony and Kingdom.
In service to Arn Hold, Artemisia and the Dream,
Baron Henri Porthos & Baroness Katherine Ce’Nedra

THE BARONY OF A RN HOLD’S MOOSE CALL
Greetings all!
October is going to be a very impressive month. Please see the event announcements for the local events coming up.
It looks like we may get a month where there are no turnovers in offices! I
want to thank all of you who are serving as officers for the barony. We
can't do it without you.
I would like to spotlight Her Honor Lady Claire this month. She has done
a lot to promote archery in the barony, including opening her home to an
event for that purpose. She has handled the Gem County 4H demo and
been very positive representing the SCA and the Barony. Thank you
Claire!
I would also like to thank Lord Sebastian for always being there for the
Barony. He's always offering to help and he brings VERY amazing treats
to events! His latest creations of chocolate A's, complete with origami
boxes, with lids, with the kingdom device on the sides. Between these
creations and all the other confectionary delights, I find it amazing any of
us can still fit in our garb! Thank you again for all your help Sebastian!
Tanglschal
Chronicler’s Corner…
As you can see, there have been a few changes to the latest edition
of the Moose Call. I’m having some fun. To all Guild Heads, Marshalls or other responsible parties, now is the time to evaluate and
update your listings in the Announcements section and the calendar.
Let me know what you think, or if you have any great, new ideas.

Armoured Combat Practice
DID YOU KNOW?
contributed by Lady Lysette d’Evreaux
Between 1500 and 1650 between 10,000 and 12,000 English words
were created. Prior to this most of English nobility spoke French and
commoners a mix of French and English.
Shakespeare was a great inventor of words and credited with nearly
2,000 words including: countless, excellent, eyeballs, gloomy, gust,
hint, hurry, leapfrog, lonely, majestic, puking, and reliance.
Shakespeare is also credited with the following commonly used phrases:
tongue-tied
a fool’s paradise
budge an inch
seen better days
fair play
played fast and loose
green-eyed jealousy
danced attendance
Lord and Master
suspected foul play
as dead as a doornail
own flesh and blood
set your teeth on edge
lie low
until the crack of doom
the game is up
without rhyme or reason
at one fell swoop
give the devil his due
eyesore
laughing stock
bid him good riddance
-8-
send him packing
slept not one wink
led a charmed life
high time
laughed yourself into stitches
the truth were known
foregone conclusion
melted into thin air
the long and short of it
as good luck would have it
the truth will out
as dull as a doornail
a sorry sight
all corners of the world
all that glitters is not gold
as pure as the driven snow
eaten out of house and home
fancy free
hot-blooded
in a pickle
make your hair stand on end
like the dickens

The Moose’s Ear
These phrases were overheard by big Moose
ears. Who is the speaker you ask and in what
context was it spoken? You figure it out…
"Isn't your hand getting tired?"
"It should be a better ride now that you've
got it all lubed up."
"I can screw up a perfectly
good piece of meat."
"I've reached the point where I can't say no."
"That's getting big. I really don't
know what that’s from."
"Oh, wait a minute.
This isn't soft and chewy."
"Give me one. Then give me another one."

that we came. A number of the kids are
super excited to attend our next event
with archery. There will be an event in
Emmett they will be attending. They may
wish us to participate next year. Thanks to
everyone who loaned banners and other
items and who helped. Especial thanks to
Good Gentles Zianna and John for
manning the table for all six days.
Fandemonium went very well. The
Costume ER helped 30-35 people, with
only one potential costume death. As a
direct consequence, we have been asked to
do a Costume ER at two upcoming events,
a con in Salt Lake City, and another event
next year. If you are interested in helping
out in the future, please contact Maistress
Tangl. Interest in Dance Practice was
raised and will hopefully garner some
more attendees.
