Does putting a report into the newsletter count as your reporting 
requirement? Or do we need to send you something separate?

I'd say gather a list of potential and willing teachers first, so you 
know what schedule you can maintain before deciding on a frequency. 
Other than that, I am for the idea. How can more teaching and learning 
and social interaction be bad?

I had originally specifically not approached gaming night as a guild... 
but instead just an opening of my home with an enticement of period 
games. But now after these past 6 months of seeing steady interest and 
attendance, I think it is in the better interest of the Barony to become 
a chartered guild. I will work on such a charter, as well as a guild 
website. I'll have these done before our next gamester's gathering, for 
you and HE Katheryn's approval.

Thank you Lord Torquil for taking on the job. I look forward to working 
with you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to assist.
