As Tec lives in An Tir, and as the group apparently has no Web
presence at all (not even showing up on other groups' calendars), it's
pretty safe to say it's defunct.

AH mumble.C:
C. Protection of Registered Items
1. Registered Items Remain Registered - Once registered, an item
shall be protected until written notice of release is received by
the Laurel Office from the owner. In the case of defunct Society
branches, release may be granted by joint consent of the Crown
and Kingdom Seneschal after appropriate notice in the newsletter
of the kingdom in which the branch was located. Protection shall
continue to apply even if the item in question could not be
registered under the Rules for Submission currently in effect
(Grandfather Clause).
2. Items Registered to Defunct Branches - When a branch is declared
defunct, ownership of its registered items is automatically
transferred to the kingdom. This transfer need not be reflected
in the Armorial.
Oh great, another Magnus cat to the face. "in which the branch was
located" tends to indicate the West, but it would be silly to put a
notice in the West's newsletter when the group's counties are in the
current borders of An Tir, and "automatically transferred to the
kingdom" is ambiguous. Palimpsest!
