Thank you.

Unto the good gentles of the Crown Principality of Tir Mara, greetings!
My name is Lord Conn mac Branain and I am the chair of the Tir Mara Populace Badge Committee. Tir Mara has been without a populace badge for far too long and it’s time something was done to rectify that. The committee formed in June as the end product of a discussion on the Tir Mara Facebook group. We spent the time since then in discussion as to how best go about the process. We now have a process in place and with the approval of the Tir Mara Seneschal and Their Royal Highnesses, we are ready to move forward. The committee includes people from all three Baronies and every Shire in the Principality; some are heralds, some are not.
Because this badge will be the populace badge for Tir Mara, we feel that involving the populace is key. To that end, we are inviting submissions from the populace. Anyone living in Tir Mara can submit their idea for a badge. After a reasonable period for accepting submissions has passed, the committee will vet all the submissions, and those that pass the vetting process will then be subjected to a poll of the populace to narrow the field down to the one badge that will be submitted to the College of Arms.
Here is the process in detail:
From today, 16 October 2017, until 30th November 2017, anyone living within Tir Mara may submit their design for a badge. All submissions are to be sent to the Tir Mara Submissions Herald, Blue Alaunt (address here http://bth.eastkingdom.org/#subs ). Submissions may be in electronic format or sent by snail mail. All electronic submissions for the populace badge MUST have ‘Tir Mara Populace Badge’ in the subject line or they will be ignored. All snail mail submissions for the populace badge MUST have ‘Tir Mara Populace Badge’ on the submission itself or they will be ignored. The regular submission forms are not required, either in electronic or snail mail format – we just need to be able to easily make out what design it is you are sending us. SEND NO MONIES.
From 1st December – 31st December, submissions will be vetted by the committee.
From 1st January – 31st January, the populace will be polled as to which design they would like to have as a populace badge.
It is important to note that this is a poll and not a vote. The Crown has the final say in what is adopted as a badge; just like a poll for a Baronial coronet, or one of the Orders of High Merit, the decision rests with the Crown. It is much easier for the Crown to make a proper decision if they have information. That’s why we’re polling the populace, to present the Crown with data showing the desires of their people.
In February, the numbers will be tallied, the results announced, and the paperwork submitted to the College. Once that happens, we wait until the badge has gone through the normal process for commentary and decision as with all other heraldric submissions.

Greetings to all,
I am Norah Gregoire most of you know me by my SCA name. I am Lady Cellach Dhonn inghean Mhic an Mhadaidh and I am currently the Tir Mara Deputy Chatelaine.
My goals for my first term are to translate the EK Chatelaine web site in French and to start a bilingual Tir Mara Press folder.
Demos are important for recruiting new members. The EK Chatelaine web site has a lot of informations, but all of it is in English. So to observe Quebec laws; flyers, handout and promotional handbook need to be in French. I think that in spring 2016 most of the EK web site will be bilingual. The Press folder is started but will occupy most of my time next year.
What I would like to include in the Tir Mara Press Folder is group flyers and a presentation of SCA, East Kingdom, Tir Mara , local groups. I need photos to start the Press Folder and to do some promotional flyers.
Where I can use your help:
For each photo I need you to fill the requested form. You will find it attached.
In particular, I’m looking for photos of :
If you have a group promotional flyer could you send it, it will go in the Press Folder.
Photos, forms and group flyers can be sent to:
Thank you for your help, if you need more info don<t hesitate to ask.

Photos pour l’Office du Châtelain, Octobre, 2015
Bonjour à tous,
Je suis Norah Grégoire connue dans la SCA sous Lady Cellach Dhonn inghean Mhic an Mhadaidh. Je suis présentement Député Châtelaine du Tir Mara.
Je me suis fixée comme objectifs à réaliser dans mon premier mandat à traduire le site du Châtelain du Royaume de l’Est et de commencer un document de Presse bilingue pour les groupes du Tir Mara.
Nous avons besoin de dépliants promotionnels, de dépliant de groupe et un document de Presse que l’on pourrait utiliser lors des démos.
Les démos sont un excellent moyen pour recruter de nouveaux membres. Le site internet de L’Office du Châtelain du Royaume de l’Est est intéressant et utile malheureusement toutes les informations et documents sont en anglais. Pour être conforme aux lois du Québec, il était nécessaire de traduire en français pour permettre aux groupes du Québec d’y avoir accès. Je crois que la majorité du site sera traduit pour le printemps 2016.
J’ai besoin de photos pour faire le document de Presse du Tir Mara ainsi que des dépliants promotionnels pour le Tir Mara.
J’ai besoin de votre aide :
Pour chaque photo soumise, l’autorisation de photographies doit être remplie. (Vous la trouverez
Attachée à cette lettre).
J’ai besoin plus particulièrement des photos de :
Si votre groupe possède un dépliant promotionnel, pourriez-vous me l’envoyer afin que je puisse l’inclure dans le dossier de Presse.
Les photos, les autorisations de photographies, le dépliant promotionnel de votre groupe peuvent être envoyés à :
Je vous remercie de l’attention que vous porterez à ma demande. Si vous désirez de plus amples informations, n’hésitez pas à me contacter.
En service,
Norah Grégoire
