Seneschal Selection Meeting 9/9/2025

Dame Morwenna reports that one Letter of Intent has been received for the open position of Canton Seneschal.

Gylfie has offered to serve as Ritterwald’s next Seneschal for a period of two years.

In accordance with the selection process previously announced, at the Tuesday gathering, 9/9/2025, a show-of-hands polling will take place. Because there is but one candidate, it will be a simple “yay or nay” vote. Yay = you accept Gylfie as the next canton seneschal (subject to confirmation by the Kingdom Seneschal); Nay = you do not wish to have Gylfie as the next canton seneschal.

Participation in the polling is open to any current SCA member who resides in the canton’s zip code area (Aiken, Allendale, Barnwell, or Edgefield), AND who claims Atlantia as their home kingdom. NOTE: if you are eligible to participate in the polling BUT will not be present at that time, you may express your vote by email so that I will serve as your proxy. Such proxy notifications should be sent to Dame Morwenna at DepSenSCGA@atlantia.sca.org before the meeting.

Ritterwald Needs a New Seneschal!

Lord Appius Alius Albanus has resigned from his position as Canton Seneschal. A meeting will be held on September 9, 2025 to select his replacement. Dame Morwenna Trevethan, Southern Regional Deputy Kingdom Seneschal, will be assisting with the process.

If you are interested in applying to serve as Ritterwald’s next Seneschal, please submit your letter of intent to Dame Morwenna at DepSenSCGA@atlantia.sca.org.

Your letter should include your:

  • Legal Name
  • SCA Name
  • SCA Membership Number & Expiration Date

Please provide your letter to Dame Morwenna by the “Close of Business” on 9/2/2025 (Effectively, by the end of the regular Tuesday night A&S gathering). This will allow her time to assemble the polling and publish the names of the candidates to the populace.

A vote will be held at the Canton Business Meeting at Bob & Bonnie’s on September 9, 2025. Eligibility to vote is limited to Canton of Ritterwald residents (Aiken, Allendale, Barnwell, & Edgefield counties).
