[Chris Lowder]

Minutes from February Populace Meeting:


Approval for Stargate/ Loch Soilleir April Event, Theme is Squires and Cadets Competition with Baronies Equestrian Champions tourney and Royal Lancer (Kingdom Equestrian Championship), event steward Baroness Cristyana Lambrecht/ Duchess Edergardis von Zell. Event will be on April 13th -15th at Sir Alexis’ property at 5401 old Gay Hill Road, Brenham Texas 77833. The event will invite all unbelted/non-white scarf fighters to compete in several areas (tourney fighting, challenge quest, A&S (static or performance) and dancing comp as well as being judged most courtly Squire/Cadet by Her Majesty, the Baronesses, and Ladies of the event).

Membership numbers in all of SCA is decreasing, we have been asked to start recruiting newcomers and try to retain as many current members as possible.

There was a question brought up for consideration at Round Table. The northern region of Ansteorra wants to distinguish itself better then it currently is (people who state they are in Northern Ansteorra get mistaken for being in Northern Texas). This is only in name alone, not in administration. 

Also, at Round Table, We were informed that we do not have to have separate officer and main populace meetings (no small gap between meetings on the same day). The officers and the B&B have decided that keeping the meeting separate would be good, this would allow the officers a short break to mingle with the populace before the next meeting.

February Edition of Two Towers is up and online on Stargate website. Deadline for March Two Towers submissions are needed by Feb. 25

Name submission for Wolf passed to Laurel for commentary and approval
