More Information

  • Bridge does not have bylaws or rules, but the Stuffy Authenticist does maintain the Customal:

The Custumal grew out of a document that we called the Operating Manual, which established the mindset of being a descriptive rather prescriptive document, outlining not how things SHOULD be done but how they ARE done. We were careful to avoid drawing a set of by-laws, or a formal charter, I think because at the time by-laws at a local branch level were prohibited. We also just saw it as a more practical way. - Steffan ap Cenydd of Silverwing, November 24, 2022.

  • The branch website and some ceremonial documents style it as "the Crown Barony of the Bridge," although this designation is not recognized by Corpora or kingdom law. Rowen Cloteworthy reports that this designation was adopted following a declaration by Lucan during one of his reigns.

As of the December 4, 2022 meeting held at Bridge Birthday, the official Bridge Colors are DMC 725 and 825.
