Cliar Cu Buidhe (Company of the Yellow Dog) is a troupe of
traveling performers and their companions, founded by
Tighearna Domhnall mac Pharlain and Baintighearna Beathog nic
Dhonnchaidh, which forms a household within the Society for
Creative Anachronism. Membership is open to anyone of good
character who shares the group's interests and who desires to
promote the bardic arts of song, poetry and storytelling, as well
as the other performance arts of instrumental music, juggling,
dancing and medieval theater. Companions of the household
need not be performers, but will be expected to lend support and
appreciation to the performers of the troupe and contribute to
the overall atmosphere of all household gatherings.

At War...

Period attire, furnishings and equipment enhance the Cliar Cu
Buidhe encampment and period pavilions, although not required,
will be given preferential placement. Mundane and non-period
items, such as coolers and aluminum cans, should be hidden
from sight and kept away from the common gathering areas.
Members are encouraged to engage in period pastimes and
duties in all common areas of the encampment, and participate in
the planning and sharing of common meals. All members, friends
and guests of Cliar Cu Buidhe will share equally in the camp
duties, such as waterbearing, maintaining candlelight and
campfire, and general cleanup.

At home...

|
|
Cliar Cu Buidhe, from time to time, will schedule gatherings for
project workshops to improve and enhance our encampment,
music or performance rehearsals, event planning sessions, or
simply get-togethers for meals and camaraderie. Member
attendance will be encouraged, but not required. Friends and
guests of the household will be welcome, as well. These
gatherings serve to build the spirit of the household and help to
provide the appropriate atmosphere for our encampment at war,
as well as our special events at home.

Each summer, Members and Friends of Cliar Cu Buidhe will
gather at Osd Cu Buidhe in Caid for a birthday celebration. The
date, and party theme, will be chosen by the Members during the
May Potrero Members' Meeting, and will be a day long barbecue
and swimming party. The evening hours will bring all who remain
to a gathering fire for a ceilidh, for the sharing of stories and
song. Guests are welcome by invitation, only.
