Greetings,<br>
<br>
Here are the meeting notes from our last officer’s meeting:<br>
<br>
<b>Seneschal:</b> I have heard back from the NR Seneschal concerning
frequency of officer meetings, there is no actual requirement for
how often meetings are held, it is up to the discretion of the
Seneschal. But as I said at the Pop meeting, after discussion with
other officers, populace, and the B & B, we will continue
monthly officer meetings the 3rd Monday of each month (unless
rescheduled due to conflict) at the Populace Meeting I will give an
overview of the officer reports, if the officer wants to given their
own report, they can, they will just need to speak to me and the
Herald prior to the meeting. If there are any new faces attending
the meeting, then each officer will need to stand up when called
upon and introduce themselves and tell about their office. In order
to make these meetings more productive, I am thinking that instead
of each officer having “goals” we can come to the meetings with any
issues or problems or projects that as a group we can work on
together in order to help or improve the Barony.<br>
<br>
<b>Herald:</b> I have secured several heraldry books from Wolfgong,
I need to work more with Jacq on his device. As a member of the
rapier community, I want to tell you about the group on facebook
called Salle de Storm Weasels, it is not a hidden group and it helps
to promote rapier and people can post and discuss there. <br>
<br>
<b>Hospitaler:</b> we are coming out of the main busy season; it’s
been a lot of fun and successful with having a lot of new people. I
will be stepping down in July. My goal is anyone who is wanting to
take this office, that we get together and go over what their
thoughts are for this office, to brainstorm together ways to improve
this office and recruit people.<br>
<br>
<b>Treasurer:</b> we need to pay more attention to what we are
spending. With Beltane we might have broken even, I have not figured
all the expenses. If you want to spend money, you must email or have
in writing to all 3 of the financial committee, not just one of us.
With event bids we need to watch them closer and stay in line with
them. All incidentals that we have we need to make an inventory and
separate them into tubs and label them Beltane, Protectorate, Med
Faire etc. That way we are not buying a lot of the same stuff for
each event. We need to have a inventory work day and have all
officers to bring what ever stuff that they have that belongings to
the barony so we can keep track of it and know exactly what all we
have.<br>
<br>
<b>Archery Marshal:</b> At Beltane we had our Archery Championship
that was won by Thomas ap Dewi, who is 14 so I will need to help him
with next years and also his Uncle who is a marshal. Sometime this
summer I would like to have a work day and build a shed out at Lord
Christian’s land where we hold practice in order to place all of the
archery and thrown weapons equipment. Possibly have a cook out along
with it. <br>
<br>
<b>Rapier Marshal:</b> Having a lot of people at the practices each
week. I would like to put out a post on the Salle de Storm Weasels
page to find out how people found us and what their story is. We are
in need of a couple of gorgets, we are having so many at practice we
don’t have enough equipment to go around. Also I would like to have
a canvas bag in order to put the loaner equipment in.<br>
<br>
<b>A & S Minister:</b> Deputy present, no report, but she will
be back in the state by the 1st week in June, she has had mundane
work and family issues to deal with, as to why she is absent.<br>
<br>
<b>Webminister: </b>not present<br>
<br>
<b>Chronicler: </b>not present<br>
<br>
<b>Knights Marshal:</b> not present<br>
<br>
<b>Minister of Children:</b> not present<br>
<br>
<b>Baronessa:</b> we will be taking the Baronial pavilion to
Warlord, there will be a caravan leaving HE Donnchadh’s house about
6pm on Friday, if anyone wants to caravan along. We also got the
Laurel’s Prize Tourney Bid with Lady Antonia as the autocrat. Water
Wars is August 6, 2011, 11am to 6pm at Glen Collins Park at Twin
Lakes in Shawnee.<br>
<br>
<b>Lady AEla:</b> my suggestion is when you do inventory it’s a good
idea to have a digital camera and take pictures of everything and
then get a flicker account or some sort of data base to have them on
and have them accessible to the barony.<br>
<br>
<b>HL Aonghas:</b> I agree that it is a good idea about the photos
and you can use them for insurance purposes.<br>
<br>
General discussion over Laurels Prize Tourney, we will be having
planning meetings in the near future, to start getting all the kinks
worked out. Discussion about a side board luncheon and possibly
having donations. Lady Antonia looks forward to working with
everyone, and she will appreciate all help she can get. <br>
