The second salon discussing future amendments to the by-laws about how to choose the next Coronets was held in Carlisle and was well attended. Many ideas were discussed but no conclusions were made. Due to the low turnout of the first salon (which I apologize for the late notice for), I would like to have a third salon, possibly during or after the local fight practice in Framingham. Kazimerz has also volunteered to assist me in setting up an online discussion platform through Facebook. Please watch the lists for more information.

The thrown weapons ranges typically reopen in April. Please watch the list for notifications about cleaning up the range for the season opening.
3. Events/Proposals
- Laurel’s Prize Tourney: Dreda
This event will be on March 25, 2017 in Medfield. This will be a cozy space, and we still need volunteers, especially for setup and cleanup after. Due to overwhelming response, all challenges are now closed. Please pre-register!
- Coronation: Thomas of Effingham
This event will be on April 1, 2017 at the Masonic Hall in New Haven, CT. We are still looking for volunteers, and encourage pre-registration for the event.

There will be structured dance and music sessions during the day and all are encouraged to participate.
- Company of Bowmen Shoot: Erica Schlain
This event is scheduled for May 20, 2017 at the 4H Fairgrounds in Westford, MA. Proposed budget for this event is $1,200, which includes site, equipment, and dayboard. We anticipate that for an archery and thrown weapons event like this to have approximately 100 attendees. There were questions during the budget request about whether tabard materials for Company inductees should come from the event budget or Company allocations. Aside from that, budget was approved.
- Battle of the Five Armies: Andreiko Eferier
This event will be a camping event on August 25-27, 2017 at the Camp Resolute Boy Scout Camp in Bolton, MA. Pre-registration is underway for the event. We are still seeking volunteers, particularly 2 meal chefs. Please contact me if you are interested in volunteering.
