[Elfsea] Metting Notes

[glen wilkerson]

Slight correction - my office will be open for bids as of August moot, but there will not be a cutoff date.  My second anniversary will be October but if no candidate has been chosen by then I will continue in the office until one is.

Alaric
Rapier Marshal

>
>B&B:
>Chamberlain report via the Baroness – Send Reports in Now for newsletter.
>Office to be open for the January 2010 Round table , she will help just let her know if you are interested in taking over the office.

>Baroness Kathryn is putting out the official “Thank You” for Steppes Artisan / Elfsea Baronial College.  The combination seemed to work really well – over 190 people in at gate.  No real complaints heard.
>UTA was happy with us and seems to be willing to work with us again. 
>
>Sunday Practice – might want to have it only twice a month.  People are not really showing up to the Sunday one or having a hard time finding it.  Idea is to have it at the same place as Archery Practice (9-11) so that more things are going on. This will allow people to be gone by 5-6 pm with the start of school.
