everyone? We are
really happy that we were able to finally down load the trailer
to Phred the
Shed. The last 6 months have been really busy with Gulf Wars,
Med Faire and
Beltane, really glad for a little breather.<span style="">
</span>Everyone has really done a good job with all of our
events. Our
champions from Beltane are: Lord Vincenti is our A & S
champion, William
the Hound is our Brewing champion, Archery champion is a Thomas
ap Dewi and he
is 14 years old from Northkeep, Thrown Weapons champion is Sam
ap Dewi, and
Bardic champion is Master Andrixos Seljukroctonis from Calontir.<span
style=""> </span>Master Andrixos also named our Baronial
Pavilion “Calm in the Storm”. He is getting us an electronic
version of his
bardic piece, so we can share with all and have on the baronial
website. We
have coronation coming up this weekend in Ft Worth. How many
people received
awards at Beltane? Please stand up, Lord Buchello and Lady
Sybilla received
Torsades and Lady Sybilla also received Compass Rose. Lord Chris
received Sable
Storm and also Sable Crane. Lady Margherita received her Sable
Crane. Lord
Aonghas received Sable Thistle. Then we had Castellan this past
weekend, where
Namron had a lot of people competing. Marsha was the archery
champion for her
age group. </span></p>

</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I want to start out
with our format
will be a little different from the past as we are going to have
all officers
to stand up and introduce themselves since we have some new
faces here tonight
and tell about their office and then I will go over our past
officer meeting.
My job as Seneschal is the legal person for the barony. I hold
all meetings of
the barony and make sure we follow the rules of our Kingdom. I
am the peacemaker
and over seer of the officers. I am 1/3<sup>rd</sup> of the
financial committee
of the barony.<span style=""> </span>I am now accepting bids
for Protectorate. You need to send your bid for autocrat and for
feastocrat to
Their Excellencies and to myself by the next Populace meeting.
We will close
bids June 7<sup>th</sup> for Protectorate autocrat and
feastocrat bids. It
looks that we will be having Protectorate at Camp Cimarron.<span
style=""> </span>We will also be having Water Wars the 1<sup>st</sup>
weekend of August (August 6<sup>th</sup>) at the Twin Lakes in
Shawnee.<span style=""> </span>Water Wars is where Namron and
Wiesenfeuer
come together and have various water games and a competition
between the
baronies and we also have a cook out. It is a no garb fun get
together of our
two baronies. I will put more specifics on the list when we get
closer to the
time.<span style=""> </span>At the end of our meeting we will
be having 2 classes, HL Adena will be teaching courtly dance and
HE Orlando
will be teaching Iconography.</span></p>

Marshal: </span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; color:

rapier is sword fighting like from the Princess Bride as opposed
to Brave
heart.<span style=""> </span>I’m a safety officer that holds
practices of this sort of fighting. At Wiesenfeuer Baronial we
had several
Namron fighters attending, Lord Lorenzo and HE Donnchadh had a
really
entertaining fight. We had several fighters at Beltane for our
tavern brawl,
Her Highness Gwen even stated that she would like to come and
participate next
year, because it looked like so much fun. We had 3 Don’s in
attendance at
Beltane, we also had 11 people at our practice in April.<span
style=""> </span>At Castellan we had a few fighters out
there
that participated in the grueling hour long fight, HE Orlando,
Master Tadhg,
and myself, to name a few. Also if anyone has any loaner
gorgets, it would be
appreciated, because we are having so many fighters at practice,
we are running
out of equipment for them.<span style=""> </span>We have
Queens Champion coming up, Eldern Hills and Steppes Warlord.
Dark Wood Armory
is planning on being at Steppes and will be available if anyone
would like to look
at swords that are used in our type of fighting. We hold
practice each Tuesday
at 7pm. It has been at Sellers Park, but we may have a new
location since
Sellers will be closing early for summer months. Look to the
list for
announcements of new location.</span></p>

the best archery he has ever shot to win Beltane and then turn
around and won
Northkeep archery. Lord Laurence and I also got our gold tassels
at Beltane. We
are like 4 & 5 top ranked in the Kingdom. HE Donnchadh just
reached
Forrester rank this past weekend, so he is moving on up also. At
Steppes

hosting the Royal
Huntsman, in Canton, Texas. The Royal Huntsman will be held on

</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">At last officers
meeting, we had a
discussion of how often we should have officer meetings. I told
the officers I
would check to find out if there is a regulation on how often. I
have not received
any information back from our Regional Seneschal concerning my
question, but
after discussion with the populace, the B & B and the other
officers, it
has been decided that we will continue to have officers meetings
monthly (3<sup>rd</sup>
Monday of each month) and that we will hold them at the Hidden
Castle here in
Norman. We will be having our regular scheduled officers meeting
next Monday
the 16<sup>th</sup> at the Hidden Castle. Here is what was
reported at the last
meeting:<span style=""> </span><b style="">Knights Marshal: </b>practice
picking up, we are having double digits
of fighters attending; we received several pieces of armor
donated from Karl
Sturmfeuer (aka Fluffy) to the barony for loaner gear and
weapons. I will also
be getting my armor back together soon.<span style="">
</span><b style="">Herald: </b>has his first
submission, thanks to Lord Jacq, will be working on office and
learning new
things. <b style="">Hospitaler: </b>as he stated,
really good turn out the last few events, everyone doing a great
job.
Newcomers’ encampment at Wiesenfeuer and the newcomers meeting
went well, we
will be having a newcomer’s meal at Beltane. <b style="">Treasurer:
</b>will be running gate with Paul (aka Pink) at Beltane. I
have had no one to contact me interested in Treasurer, if anyone
knows of
anyone that is<span style=""> </span>interested please have
them contact me, I will be stepping down in August, so
applications need to go
to B & B, Seneschal, Regional Treasurer and myself.<span
style=""> </span>Lord Buchello made the announcement that
the
refreshment tent went well at Med Faire, we went a little over
budget, but we
had Gatorade and stuff left over that could be used at Beltane.

& B: </span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">we would
like to call Marsha
to come before us; did you have fun at Castellan? I hear you did
a really good
job in archery, since you won their archery competition. We want
to thank you
for representing our Barony and as a token of our appreciation
we have something
for you. They presented her with a token of their appreciation.
Beltane was an
absolute fantastic event, Their Highnesses and Their Majesties
had nothing but
good things to say about Namron. Barone Orlando said that he
didn’t know if you
all know this, but there was a chance that he wasn’t going to
make Beltane this
year because of the Army, but he was able to pull it off and
make it this year.
I want to thank everyone for making it such a wonderful event. I
will not be
able to make it next year as I will be in Kuwait.<span style="">
</span>So that really made it nice to be able to attend this
year. Thank
you again to everyone in this Barony.</span></p>
