Shire of Loch Ruadh Populace Meeting 5-5-2004

 

**Seneschal:

EZ Ups- Loch Ruadh lost the 2 EZ Ups at Guardian of the Tor.  Aingeal & Caerell bought 4 Quik Shades on sale at $59.95 plus tax and offered 2 of them to Loch Ruadh at that cost. These normally sell for $99 to $129, depending on where they are purchased. The populace voted (one NO vote was recorded) to buy them from Aingeal & Caerell. A check will be issued to them when the receipt is presented to the Exchequer.

 

Shire Pavilion- We are in the process of "gathering" information to purchase a new Shire pavilion. Things we are considering are type, size, material, cost and manufacturer. Information was presented from Panther and Tentsmiths. 

 

Fian Ruad - I have talked with both the Knight Marshal and the commander of Fian Ruad about some changes. We agreed that the commander of the Fian Ruad "fighting unit" will be chosen by those fighters committed to attending Gulf War XIV. Rolf has agreed to stay on as the Commander until Lughnasad.

 

Gulf War XIV - Remember you must be pre-registered by December 15th, 2004 to camp in Loch Ruadh lands.

 

Loch Ruadh Directory - If you did not made corrections to the directory at populace meeting, please email them to me ASAP to seneschal at lochruadh.org 

 

Our change of status from Canton to Shire was read into the BOD minutes on April 24, 2004. And we are listed as a Shire in the May Black Star.

 

**Lughnasad Autocrats: 

Reminded the populace of the foundations on which this group was built:

  1.. Remember this is a game!! Balance the fun of the game with your mundane responsibilities. 
  2.. Though the greater game is played as a Monarchy, the group, (Dun) Loch Ruadh, will act as a democracy. 
  3.. Full disclosure. The officers of the group will perform their duties with the feelings and input from the majority of the populace. 
  4.. PERSONAL conflicts will not be tolerated at any SCA functions.  Leave them at home or stay home. 
  5.. Integrity: Follow through with commitments and promises you have made as an individual, your personal actions will reflect back to the group. Individuals are NEVER to make a commitment for the group without the knowledge, permission and support of the majority of the POPULACE. 
  6.. Newcomers: As a group we are committed to encourage, support, teach and foster newcomers. Give them the time, space and support to find to find to find THEIR own niche within the Society and this group.
