Subject: [ANSTHRLD] College of Heralds Administrative Handbook update

Greetings,

The following sections of the College of Heralds Administrative Handbook
have been updated. The first section deals with awards that the recipient
is not present when read into court. After consultation with the Crown and
several senior members of the College, I have decided to implement the
following policy to help resolve some issues brought to my attention by the
Crown.



VI.b.i All awards that are read in court but not immediately presented will
be recorded in the OP after one year's time, or earlier upon confirmation
that the award has been presented. This allows for the recipient to be
given the award at another time before the award is published in the OP.



The second change reflects the recent policy change implemented by the
Kingdom Treasurer and myself to change how checks for submissions are
handled by local groups. At the request of the Kingdom Treasurer this is
intended to help prevent lost submissions and/or lost checks for those
submissions.



XI.F.2* Payments* - Submissions from branch heralds must be paid by branch
check made out to “SCA Inc. – Kingdom of Ansteorra.” Branch heralds should
not handle submitter funds. Instead, submitters should remit payment to the
branch exchequer. The local exchequer and herald will fill out the Heraldic
Submission Receipt. One copy of the form should be filled out for each
individual or family. There is a version of the form for multiple items.
The exchequer will forward a copy with the check to the Kingdom Exchequer
or designated deputy and the herald will forward a copy to Asterisk.

a.       Submissions to regionals or directly to Asterisk may be paid by
branch check, personal check, or money order made out to “SCA Inc. –
Kingdom of Ansteorra.” Asterisk does not accept cash by mail. If a regional
herald wishes, s/he may accept cash with issuance of receipt and forward
his/her personal check and a copy of the receipt. They are in no way
required or even expected to offer this service, but they may. The check or
money order number must be entered on the Local line of each submission.
Regionals are encouraged to use the Heraldic Submission Receipt when
sending in submissions.

b.      Payment from submission tables is covered under that topic.

c.       Payment for resubmissions of names/armory returned at the Kingdom
or Society level is waived for a time period not to exceed two years from
the date of publication of the return (via LoD/LoAR) unless jointly
approved by Asterisk Herald and Star Principal Herald.

d.      There is no charge for a branch’s primary name and device, although
all other armory or names registered by that branch require payment as
usual.

e.       *Currently, fees for all submitted items NOT from a full-service
table are $8 per item. *Local groups should retain $1 from each item for
processing costs.


The updated handbook should be posted on the College of Heralds web site
soon.
