Just a bit of trivia, for enquiring minds.... :-)
Actually, nowadays the correct title for the handler of the money is
"Chancellor of the Exchequer." This is the title being used at the
Corporate level and, I believe, is the title they would prefer for
everyone to use. It's a fairly new policy (by SCA standards, anyway)
and hasn't really filtered down yet in several of the kingdoms -
us included (probably because it takes so much extra breath to say).
"Treasurer" is actually the mundane equivalent for what our money
handlers do for our "club." However, both it and "Reeve," are still
commonly accepted and understood, so I don't think we should draw
and quarter anyone for using either term....
What was the question again?
