Great Council Minutes Nov AS LVIII (2024) 7:30 PM

Coronets Nobildonna Fiore Leonetta Bardi and Lord Frithuric Ulman:

We have new champions of knightly combat. Ludovic, Eric Lambson at towers fight practice.

Most of what I have to say is for people not currently in attendance. We have lots of people who have been officers for a long time, and we’d like to see new volunteers. We like to let people enjoy the game for a while, but it’s good to get involved in the backside at some point.

Pandaulf: Are there positions we’re looking for?

Aaradyn: Exchequer, Chatelaine

Officers:

Seneschal Lady Aaradyn Gyoot

Voting Officers have until 8 to vote.

We do not have to move council for NY, it will be Jan 6th.
There are no events on the calendar for 2025. Now is a great time to start picking up events.

Frithuric: Would you like to go to an event in 2025?
