<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since this is not a planning meeting we are going to try to
keep most of the event information and planning to a minimum.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are going to be focusing on goals and objectives for each
officer and time lines for those goals. In order to do that we are going to go
through each of the officers and ask what they are working on for project
whether it is scrolls for an event, fletching of arrows, loaner armor or
whatever. We will be looking for a completion of it or what the next step is
and a projected time frame for when it will be done. Please remember, these are
projected time frames and we all know that other things can take priority and
sometimes mundane life can interfere.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Seneschal – Margherita - I will go
first. I am asking at this time that anyone who wants to be a deputy seneschal
to please contact not later than July 25<sup>th</sup> by e-mail or phone to let
me know of your interest. I will be talking with each person to see what their
expectations are and what mine will be. These are working positions that will
have duties to perform. I plan to have at least one deputy and I hope to have
two deputies selected by our next populace meeting on August 3<sup>rd</sup>. I
will also be having meetings with several people prior to August 3<sup>rd</sup>
to collect files, records, information, plans, and reports. B&B asked what
duties Margherita was looking at having deputies do. Margherita said that a
couple of the items include collecting and tracking all waiver forms, creation
and maintenance of a database that will have all of the event venues showing
where they are some of the primary features, contact names and numbers and
approximate cost for renting. And also getting contracts for sites negotiated
as early as possible. Baronessa Caterina said that Margherita should get with
Domi from Wiesenfeuer on site information since she had collected a bunch of
it. Margherita said that the database will be kept and maintained by Namron but
will be shared with the other Baronies in the region and they will be
encouraged to submit changes and additions to the database.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>Thrown
Weapons – Vincenti – I have selected Ciara (aka Beka) as my new deputy and will
be working with her for training and being able to get her authorized as a
Thrown Weapons Marshal. Vincenti will contact Arthur Blackmoon and Ottokar to
see if either of them will be able to come to GAA (Grand Assembly of Archers)
to get it done then.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>Archery –
Robert – Wants to expand CA (Combat Archery) and start conducting IKCAC
(Inter-Kingdom Combat Archery Challenge) shoots. The goal is to have the first
shoot prior to GAA. To accomplish this targets have to be made or purchased, it
has been found out that Wiesenfeuer has 6 of these targets and that we might be
able to purchase 3 of them. Barone Orlando asked what the biggest problem is
for getting more people involved in CA, Robert said that helms, crossbows, and
especially bolts are the biggest problems due to costs. Alexander stated that
he has one helm ready now and is working on being able to have more. Robert
said that he will submit a budget request at the September Officer meeting to
the financial committee for bolts.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>A&S –
Droen – is going to create a skills list of A&S skills that different
people have and will have good list by the September Officer meeting. She will
also be adding links to museums for Namron’s website. She also stated that she
would like to have more displays of skills and things that people work on, not
for competition but for information and sharing so that people can see what
people do, how they do it, and who they can ask for help if they want to do it
also. Many of the techniques that will be displayed will not be period
techniques but will show how it is currently done. Droen said that she is
looking to see what can be done to make a badge, or whatever that would be
recognizable from a distance, that officers could wear so that, new people
especially, they could be found and spotted easier.<span style=""> </span>Droen stated that due to travel she will not
able to attend the August Populace or the Officers meetings.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>Hospitaler
– Christopher – Is working on a press kit that can be used to help work with
new people, newspapers, and different forms of advertising so that we can get
better publicity and recruit more people. Christopher plans to have this done
by the August Officer meeting so that he can submit it to Margherita for review
and approval. One of the things that he will need help with is getting Boiler
Plate information from each of the officers about their activity. He is also
working on Loaner Garb and wants to have a good selection of generic garb by
the end of 2010. Suggestions were made and are being considered about trying to
have a special gift for new people that become paid members of the SCA.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>Webminister
– Linus – Is working on getting website up to date. He suffered a major setback
on his efforts this last week. His computer got a major virus and he lost a lot
of information, including ALL of his old e-mails. If anyone sent him
information about updates that have not already been done, PLEASE send them
again. He does not have any way to go back and find them. He knows that some of
the requested updates were done but he has no idea about the remainder of them.
He is currently reviewing possible ways to upgrade the current website and make
it easier to use and update that will not be html based. He plans to have
updates done, officer pages done, and a review of new website design protocols
completed by the September Officer meeting.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>Knights
Marshal – Alexander – the classes at Fighter Practice have gone very well and
drew in more fighters and interest. He is talking with a number of skilled
fighters in the area to arrange a class schedule. He is making an inventory of
current serviceable loaner gear. Both of these will be completed by the August
Officers meeting.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>Chronicler
– Lyric – working on her first edition of The Plume. Lyric is working with a
couple of people right now in getting this accomplished. She has decided to set
a deadline for all articles that people may want to include in The Plume as the
25<sup>th</sup> of each month, this will not be a floating deadline that will
change based on when the Populace meeting is it will remain the same every
month. She also wants to work with the Webminister to make The Plume and the
website more alike. Her big goal right now is having The Plume printed and
ready to be handed out at the next Populace meeting.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>Rapier –
Jacq – was not able to make the meeting. No updates at this time.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Grand Assembly of Archers – Special notes – The Northern
Regional Archery Marshal will be in attendance and anyone that wants to be able
to get authorized an Archery Marshal needs to be studying now and getting with
Robert to be able to come to archery and practice running the range. Vincenti is
sending a message to Arthur Blackmoon and Ottokar to see if they will be
attending and if they will be able to have an authorization range setup to
become Thrown Weapons Marshal.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Axeman VI – Barone Orlando wants to start focusing on Youth
Activities. We have a number of youth in Namron that come to events and we
should make sure that we have some things going for them. Right now Namron is
weak in this area. Vincenti stated that we just received an offer yesterday
from a couple of Boffer marshals to come to Axeman and run a Boffer Tourney for
us if we will make range and time arrangements. Our B&B both said they want
this to happen and that we will need to work on the schedule to make it
possible. Our B&B stated that they have discussed it with the other local
B&Bs and Axeman will get to host the Annual Baroness Toy Tourney!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Protectorate – site is up and going. Status of site contract
is unknown. Candilyn will be doing water bearing, Planning meeting will be the
2<sup>nd</sup> week in August, exact date is not yet known. They are looking at
adding another porta-potty over in the camping area.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The status of each of these projects will be reviewed each
month, completion dates maybe changed and new ones will be added.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Comments, suggestions were invited from anyone in attendance.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
