Namron Populace Meeting 4/05/11
Norman Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

Meeting began at 7:40pm

*B & B: *Did everyone have fun this weekend? I think that the Medfair 
really went well.We had quite a few newcomers come to the 
Embassy.Tonight we have a few newcomers: Cynthia Teague from Norman who 
is interested in needlework and has a 9 year old son that is interested 
in youth boffer, and a 7 year old daughter that is interested also and a 
husband that is on the fence. We also have Matthew Walker and Belinda 
Walker from OKC that have been coming to the open A & S nights at the 
Hidden Castle.Welcome newcomers. HE Kathryn will be putting together 
food for lunch for newcomers at the Wiesenfeuer Baronial any donations 
are welcome. Also on Sunday (4-10-11) after the event, we will be having 
the siege weapons available for anyone that might be interested in 
practicing. We had a great Gulf Wars, the land situation was 
questionable, but we are already working on it for next year. We really 
had no control over where we were put; we just had to make the best of 
what we had. I wanted to let everyone know that I will be being deployed 
July 28^th to Kuwait. I know that I don't need to ask this, I know that 
Namron will be there for HE Caterina.We are not planning on stepping 
down, we are continuing to stay on.

*Hospitaler: *We had a really successful Medfair.Thank you to everyone 
that helped and participated.It takes a whole Barony to make it 
happen.We have the newcomers meeting scheduled for Thursday April 14^th 
at 6pm here at the UU Church.Please I am asking that each of you come 
out in force and show what you are able to do.I need docents to answer 
questions and also to demonstrate and explain exactly what we do. We 
also have Beltane coming up, also we have Wiesenfeuer Baronial this 
weekend and we will have a Namron camp with food and drinks for all 
newcomers, so they will feel welcome.I will be needing some help serving 
throughout the day, I myself will be unable during Saturday evening for 
the feast, so will definitely need help at that time.Please let me know 
if you are interested in helping.

*Seneschal: *Will be working on things for Beltane, which is coming up.I 
also need the officers to get their reports into me today; they are due 
on the 5^th of each month. The Chronicler is not present, but she does 
have the newsletter uploaded to the Baronial website, HE Orlando and I 
have copies if you would like to have a paper copy.The web minister is 
also not here due to illness. My name is Margherita de Mantua, my 
position is the seneschal, which is the legal representative of the 
Barony, keeping things in order, and keeping things running smoothly is 
one of the things that I do.Making sure all the reporting is done and 
turned in on time, is another thing that I do. Some have said herding 
cats is part of it also.

*Medfair Coordinator: *It has been a most successful Medfair, I say Job 
Well Done to everyone.The Embassy was very impressive, the living 
history with the games was great, the A&S tent will all our creations 
was enjoyed by all, the trebuchet's and ballista were wonderful. Thank 
you Baron Donnchadh for making it possible to see it in Visio all laid 
out.I had the final debriefing with Ann Marie, she loved all that the 
SCA had and did, the only problem she had was that we need to keep a 
presence until 7pm and no driving onto site until after 7pm.Ann Marie 
stated that the fair easily broke 300,000, on Saturday alone it was 
about 200,000.Ann Marie has not done the inventory on the t-shirts so 
there may still be some available for a $2 discount. Also if we can make 
a list of things that went well at the fair and things that did not go 
well and get them to me so that we can do a better job next year it 
would be greatly appreciated.

*Master Finnacan Dubh: *I received an odd request-Lets have a quest at 
Beltane-quests are rare and a lot of work, its like walking through a 
life size board game, but they can be a lot of fun.The following will be 
my list of participants for the quest, we will be having another Beltane 
planning meeting before and can work together as a group also we will be 
meeting Friday night at Beltane for a meeting also to discuss the 
quest.People can dress up as their favorite character and feel free to 
walk through the quest, but I need these specific people to meet with me 
as a group:

*Duchess*: Vanessa*Caterpillar*: Gwyneth

*Child*: Megan*DoDo*: Chris

*White Rabbit*: Donnchadh*Door Mouse*: Belinda (newcomer)

*Tweedle Dee*: Kylee*March Hare*: Alexander

*Knights Marshal: *My name is Alexander Marcellus and I am the Knights 
Marshal for the Barony of Namron for chivalric or armored combat, I make 
sure that practice goes off each week in a safe manner.I am the safety 
officer and in a semi-limited basis I teach.We have practice on 
Wednesday nights at 7:00-7:30 pm at the Sellers Center in South OKC. It 
is an indoor practice. If you are interested in armored combat or want 
to watch armored combat come on down, we do have loaner equipment available.

*Rapier Marshal: *My name is Jacq and I am the safety officer for rapier 
combat, which is like Zorro or the fighting in Princess Bride. We have 
practice on Tuesday nights at 7:00pm at the Sellers Center on SW 82^nd 
and Villa. We have loaner equipment available. At practice we have been 
using a 16^th century rapier manual to learn from.I feel the Medfair was 
a lot of fun and full of excitement with the List Heralds translating 
the fighting into something the crowds could understand.

*Archery Marshal: *My name is Vincenti da Murano I conduct the archery 
practices each week on Sunday at 2pm at Lord Christian's land which is 
east of I-35 on 19^th street in Moore you go about 9 or 10 miles east. I 
am the safety officer for archery. We have loaner bows and arrows 
available.I wanted to let you all know what is coming up at the event 
this weekend for Wiesenfeuer: Rapier and Chivalric inspection at 9am on 
Saturday, Court at 10am, the list to start 30 minutes after Court. 
Archery competition will be held on Sunday morning after morning Court. 
The archery field will be available all day on Saturday for practice.The 
archery field and the rapier and chivalric list fields will be next to 
D'Alders house.So there will be camping available in the bottom where 
the sand is.

*Treasurer: *My name is Adena Terrickdoutter and my position is who 
handles the financial part of the Barony.I am still planning on stepping 
down from my office in August.If anyone is interested please let me know 
and we can work together on Beltane and I can show you the reports that 
are required for this office.

*Lord Christopher: *The web minister asked me to make an announcement to 
the Knights Marshal and the A & S Minister to get in contact with her, 
because people have left information on the website looking for more 
information concerning your two areas.She wasn't for sure if you had 
gotten that information or not.

*Baroness Gwyneth: *Lord Alexander I would like to thank you for helping 
me get back to my car on Friday with the help of the little yellow 
wagon.Also Abdullah has been dumpster diving and he has a few things in 
the other room on the table for anyone who wants them.

*Lord Rostislav: *I was wondering in anyone knew of any of the armor 
that I donated to the Barony, years ago, where the armor might be. I 
would be interested in getting it back if possible. I donated 
vambracers, gorget, articulated elbows. I did find the legs. If anyone 
knows where I might can find them please let me know. Thank you.

*B&B*: Thank you to all the officers for their reports. Final artwork 
for the competition at Beltane will be due by April 15^th .Also will 
need a release form with it.This needs to be a basic motif.If anyone is 
interested in finding out more please get with us after the meeting. We 
are Barone Orlando Giovanni di Gilead and Baronessa Caterina Giovanni di 
Gilead. The crown appoints us after a poll of the populace. We have 
limited control in Baronial issues. We are responsible for the Pomp and 
Pageantry for the Barony.

presenting "The Albigension Inquisition. Also on Friday there will be 
Canterbury Tales at Meacham Auditorium.

*B&B: *We call forth Trae MacTadhg to come before us. This young man at 
Gulf Wars was always helping out, whether that was with helping with 
firewood, helping haul the trebuchet to the field, helping with set up 
and tear down or helping keep the camp area clean.We wanted to have a 
little recognition of what a fine young man he is and how he has helped 
the Barony.Thank you.
