Waivers for any event, practice, demo or anything you have to have folk sign waivers for...are now due **10 DAYS** after the event to the waiver secretary. That was the big news of the day.</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:12.8800001144409px">2. At the open GOofS meeting, Her Majesty urged that people do recommend folk for awards. She said they had only 10 award recs this week and normally get 4 times that amount. She said not to be intimidated by the form...fill in as much as you can, She said the only things that *HAD* to be there was your name and a way to contact you and your best guess at the spelling of their SCA name. She also said that if you just don't like the form, email them. If you don't have email, call them. If you don't have a phone, send them a letter. They really want award recs!!!</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:12.8800001144409px">3. Elsa, Kingdom Exchequer, had a check for Gate's Edge (I don't know for what) which I failed to pick up. Sorry <a class="" href="https://www.facebook.com/pamela.buchanankendrick" style="color:rgb(59,89,152);text-decoration:none">Pamela</a>...you might want to ask her about it.</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:12.8800001144409px">4. The new kingdom webminister, Duchess Gwen, is going to be working on updating and changing the Ansteorra website to make it more user friendly and appealing. She has had 200 people respond to her survey about it. If you haven't seen it or taken her survey, I will post the link in the first comment below.</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:12.8800001144409px">5. The new earl marshal, HG Sir John Paul de Sens, and the kingdom rapier marshal, HE Don Avery Shaw, were both very helpful in resolving our issues with reporting. On the urging of JP, we tried the online reporting system again which had refused to take reports for us for (mumble mumble) months. Don't know what HG had done to the site but it worked for us again! Yay! As far as we know, we are all caught up on our marshalate reporting. Miracles never cease.</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:12.8800001144409px">6. Croaker, the new waiver secretary, should now also have all of the marshal's waiver reports. Our event should now be in fine shape.</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:12.8800001144409px">7. My class as historian went very well with 6 attending.</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:12.8800001144409px">8. At the open GOofS meeting and in almost every class I took, it was said that by the end of this year, ALL officers at EVERY level were to stop using their personal emails for society business and get a @<a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fansteorra.org%2F&h=GAQFUnvGD&enc=AZPjRv3Go3-Jzm8r13Wq33mfJF-uiSxwbpFZlVKnARgmShGvBFNwNoZqdN3N4w9qOSwCkHZGrghAiy1xF2ugdCa8oDbZNWPDf0h0pmQJEz5d3oVKPX7ZEqSW1q0FO4Awi41VRZm9sF30d1S5ad10fKIP1GnxXE1DQ14Eo9tedU7ySA&s=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="color:rgb(59,89,152);text-decoration:none">ansteorra.org</a> email address from Kingdom. I think most of us are good on that but I need to check about the chatelain's position.</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:12.8800001144409px">10. At the open GOofS meeting it was emphasised over and over that FACEBOOK IS NOT AN OFFICIAL MEANS OF COMMUNICATION. Kingdom Seneschal, Don Brian O'Ullium, said that FB is fine for getting the word out on something but it MUST be also posted to the legal means of communication such as the ansteorra email lists and the newsletter. He also said that if you post something on FB in an official capacity as an officer, be sure to sign it with your position and name such as "Annes, Shire Chatelain". That being said, once I finish composing this here...I will copy and paste it in an email to our mailing list.</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:12.8800001144409px">11. Events posted to facebook which are not included in posts to the legal means of communication such as practices, events and guild meetings, are not following policy and may not be covered by liability (My interpretation of what was said about postings. We need to ask Don Brian about that.) If so and my interpretation is correct, we need to be very careful to make sure it gets posted to our Gate's Edge mailing list.</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:12.8800001144409px">12. There is a new social media person but I don't remember who. Dang it. I'll try to remember to ask Don Brian and post it later.</p><p style="margin:6px 0px 0px;display:inline;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:12.8800001144409px">This is all I'm remembering at the moment.
