I have received word from the Society Seneschal that effective as of January 25, 2026, the SCA Board of Directors has issued a TRP (Temporary Removal from Participation) against Derrick Solomon known in the SCA as Duke Logan Ebon Woulfe.
This sanction means he is barred from participation in ANY official SCA activity ANYWHERE until further notice.
Seneschals, please notify your gate workers that he is not allowed to attend any event, practice, meeting, or other official SCA activity. Also notify any social media officers and/or admins that his access to official SCA social media is to be removed at once.
Any and all questions can be directed to me or the Society Seneschal.

Good Day Ursus Bay, We are approaching the Shire’s bi-monthly business meeting on Tuesday 4 November starting at 6:30pm. Since there was a safety concern due to the location selected at our last meeting in September, the shire officers found a new location for us to use. The business meeting will be located at the Firefly Cafe located at 901B Pollock Street New Bern, NC 28562! This location has a private room, it has a capacity of 30 persons, able to order food and drink if you wish too. Finally, attached (2 pictures) is the agenda for the business meeting. Page one is Roll Call of the current shire officers with agenda details A-C. Page 2 contains a new training calendar and events spiked from the kingdom calendar. We hope you can make the meeting, we would love to have you. We will attempt to stream the meeting, (inshallah connectivity) using either Google Meets and/or Discord. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to email me at seneschal@ursusbay.atlantia.sca.org. Thank you for your time, see you soon!

Below is an important kingdom announcement from the staff for Coronation on 4 October.
Due to the smallish size of the event site, the staff is requesting that NO day shades be brought to be set up. The staff is providing a populace day shade (large), so they advise that anyone attending Coronation bring only a chair and some feast gear for the dayboard being provided.
Also, parking is going to be somewhat limited, so they are requesting that people carpool in if at all possible.
End of message!
Thank you all your support!
