July 28th, 2020, the group went into abeyance due to the resignation of the Shire Seneschal, a required office. First OP entry was Jan 25, 2003, last was May 01, 2021. First appears in the published lists of branches as incipient shire - 6/94 - in the Aug 1994 Crier. The May 1998 shows it for the first time as a shire, and the kingdom senashal's letter in that issue congratulates them on becoming a shire.

The group was still listed as in abeyance, but not yet dissolved, in the Dec 2022 issue of the Crier, the last currently available in the archives.
