His excellency is representing the baronetcy. The heavy list championship was held at fighter practice during October. Fighters and list runners and so forth were present. Wilhelm Hamelroarke, a farrier, is the new Champion. Thank you to Valerian for his service at the championship and over the past years. The champion’s sword has been repaired and returned.

Marshal Archery Master Peter the Red Arlyanna speaking.
Thanks to the barony for defending Carlisle practice from the spiders and ticks. Archery practice continues, both scheduled on Sundays, and by appointment.

Tasha Medvedya Speaking for central region Combat Archery. I will be looking at an armor and ammo assembly workshop at a maker space in Nashua (possibly crossbow assy as well). I will be touring the space this Thursday night. If you are interested, let me know via email (166985@members.eastkingdom.org) or facebook. If you want to fight for your kingdom, but don’t want to get hit (much) combat archery is the way to go.
This will likely be in early 2023. 

There is an individual in southern region putting together a siege weapon as well, who is going to need a crew.

Waytes

Continuing to meet most monday nights. There has been some inquiry from potential new members to the society. The Waytes will be playing at a Renaissance ball at Arisia, if everything goes forward.

Company of Bowmen: Baroness Arlyanavan Wyck

Events:

50 Year: The fifty year team has met and put together a basic budget. Falling leaves is generally around 5-6000, for 50 year the plan is for $7000. This is the upper limit, and it may be lower. The line item budget will be shown to the finance council. Maximum price for a member will be $30 for the weekend. September 9th and 10th. The hope is that this will be a royal progress. We are hoping to bid for EK Equestrian Championships. We have done Equestrian champs at falling leaves previously. Eadgyth: I would prefer to have Carolingia 50 year be a celebration of Carolingia, not a championship. Patience: In my experience, a royal progress is only guaranteed when a championship or similar is present.

Eadgyth: There are so many obligatory RPs in the east (7 championships, half a dozen coronet changes, Cornation, Crown Tourney, 12th night), that their weekends get eaten.
Katla: That was part of the reason we were thinking about a championship. Equestrian championships are usually smaller.

Frithutic: It should not be necessary to trap them, and it might be simpler just to talk to their Majesties, and see if they are interested without the championship. Their current majesties asked for more royal progresses.
Tasha: I understand people saying we shouldn’t have to trap them. But there are also relatively few places where Equestrian events can happen, which makes falling leaves a good choice for it. Especially since most of the equestrians are around this area.  
Ysabel: Her majesty is attending St. Elegius this weekend, without an obligatory event, so it does happen.

Eadgyth: Hosting a kingdom champions tournament means we are splitting the events proceeds.  
Katla: That site routinely makes money, so we aren’t especially worried about making a profit.
Katla: No (or very limited) camping. No fire. Dry site. 

Pandaulf: Without camping, I strongly recommend a day rate.

Should we vote about Equestrian now or vote in December?
Patience: Happy to delay vote.
Donato: It might be a good idea to feel out their highnesses about their desire to attend.
Katla: The question to vote on in Dec. are should we bid on Equestrian championships, and should we attempt to make it a royal progress?

Eadgyth: An RP without a kingdom event does not currently include a profit share split. The RP 80/20 has been put on hold again.  
Aaradyn: Vote on these questions will be held in December.



General announcements: 

Eowyn: It’s election day tomorrow. Go vote.
Aelia for Justin: Arisia is planned to happen, which means there will be a renaissance ball. Please feel free to come out for it.

Intercon is being planned, let me know if you’re going.
