1. From Their Excellencies
- Colin: Falling Leaves was a wonderful event! We have 3 new champions for the Barony, and the foot race winner was Lady Matilda… Our new champions are Millicent Rowan for Rapier, Avaldr Valbarnarson for Heavy List, and Arts & Sciences was split once again with Eadaoin Chruitire for Arts and Morwenna O’Hurlihie for Sciences. Nicolette and I are looking forward to Otter’s Welcome as well! Also, if you are a member of one of the Orders (Moon, Perseus, and/or Daystar), please make sure you are signed up on the list for upcoming polling.
2. Officer Announcements
- Seneschal: Aurelia Rufinia
The next Council meeting will cover the calendar for the coming year. There are several royal progress events up for bid, including King & Queen’s Archery, Equestrian, Thrown Weapons, and Heavy List Championships. Crown Tournament for Fall 2017 is coming up for bid in our area as well. While we are not required to put in bids, it would be awesome to see more events come up. As a reminder, profits from royal progress events are split between the royalty and the hosting Barony. Northshield had registrations at an event I went to recently where you could sign up on a Google form for pre-registration and pay for feast at the door, and it would be interesting if something similar could be used at a future event.
- Exchequer: Hugh Taurner
As a reminder, if you are doing Gate at an event, make sure that all checks are made out to the correct name, have the correct amount, and are signed! Also, Orlando will be looking for a Deputy Exchequer in a few months. If you are interested, please contact us.
- Order of the Perseus: Kazimierz
I am looking for a Deputy to the Principal of the Order. If you are interested and are a member of the Order of the Perseus, please contact me.
