October 17 & 18, 2026
Welcome to the Crown Council event page! This is where we will be publishing the information about the upcoming Crown Council event.
What is Crown Council? Crown Council is an event where the focus is on providing opportunities for gathering to discuss the various kinds of business that occurs in our kingdom. There will be Peerage Meetings, Officer Meetings, Classes, and socializing times. This first Crown Council will be an Online Event. Everyone will be able to take part without the long drive to and from.
Why Crown Council? Our Crown events are always so packed with activities that it is near impossible to fit it all in. Very often our Royalty are secluded in a meeting room all day and the populace has little to no time to see or interact with them. By holding these meetings on a separate weekend we free up time for more activities at events like November Coronation. It’s also an opportunity to host some discussions we don’t often get to have. There’s time for some classes too!

Classes details
Introduction to Avacal College of Heralds and how to get involved (1 hr)
Instructor: Dame Arwyn of Leicester.
Heraldry in Avacal has lots of things to be involved in. Voice heraldry includes introductions of combatants at tournaments, making announcements, doing courts for our royals. Administrative Heraldry includes Order of Precedent recording, helping with the website and databases, writing ceremonies and other protocols, helping update the manuals and handbooks, our submission role which is mostly administrative to help put the information into OSCAR (come learn what is). Consulting and Submissions help new and existing members find names, create household names and badges, develop and design devices or coats of arms and we need both people who like to draw and design things along with people who like to research and find stuff. Of course, heraldry has displays like banners, scrolls and other artistic things so we need artisans too. We are also working on accessibility and other activities to support DEIB. So many ways to get involved. Come find your way to help our kingdom and grow our college. Meet the team and ask questions.
Feedback that makes a difference
Instructor: Duchess Asney Grimolfrsdottir.

Join us for this practical and engaging class and build your confidence for having better conversations.
Accessing Officer email, OneDrive, and other resources
Instructors: Roxanne and Raoul Delaroche.
Thank you for volunteering! So now you have an officer email. What does that give you? Why is that important? How can you use it? We will show you how to access and effectively use your email, OneDrive, Teams, & M365 tools to your advantage. If you have a device to use, feel free to bring it with you. If Raoul can convince Roxanne, he can teach you too!!
