Officers' Reports

B&B: Their Excellencies (and everyone
else) are very tired from "liaising". The baronial poll is with Their
Majesties, for Their perusal and comment. There was discussion about
officers at Kingdom, complaints in writing.

Seneschal (Callum): The poll
was sent to Kingdom, also event info to CP and calendar info to seneschal.
 Callum to send event info for 12th Night to Kingdom so we can give out
awards at 12th Night.

Herald (Cristia): Mostly busy with preparing for the
Royal Visit in the last month.  Will be contacting everyone soon to check
their details for the OoP. Submitting remaining Baronial awards (and
circulating petition). Those who have submitted to the COH should be
getting their submission fees in now. Planning a new armigers article for
FTT.

A&S (Eva):Iulianna is interested in taking over the office, and will
act as the deputy for a while.  Note that Baronial Arts Champion
competition is at 12th Night.

Marshal (Tycho): Two tourneys over the
weekend, sending off quarterly report now that has something to report.

Exchequer (Richard): Approx. Account balances: General account $3400 and
FTT $500.  Inland Revenue still after a tax return, Richard following this
up to see if we have to and do so if necessary.  Donations to the Kingdom
travel fund were discussed - on a regular basis, perhaps Canterbury Faire
activities, as presentation to incoming Crown.  The exchequer will follow
up on our SCA position as far as donations are concerned and will discuss
this in the future.

Chatelaine (Teres): absent, no report.

Chronicler (Edward): 6 new subs in, FTT out.  Please get FTT stuff in this week.

Constable (Gaius): absent, no report.  Branch constables need to
re-warrant.

Minister of Children (Madelein): nothing to report.

Chirugeon (Ethelind): 5 people needed attention for minor reasons at the Royal
Thing, nothing serious.

Captain of Archers (Jarnulfr): absent, no report.

Lists (Etienne): Two tourneies at the Royal thing, 7 fighters on Friday,
20 on Saturday.  Went well.

Stewards' reports

Royal Thing (Eleonora): Smaller turnout than expected (88), so budget will
be tighter than expected.  Finalising income and expenditure now, will be
at next meeting.  Hire place (Hyde Park) very good, highly recommended. 
The roaster was a great asset.  Letter of appreciation suggested.  The
event went well, we had a couple of little breakdowns in communication but
no great problems.  Multiple sub-autocrats worked well, although the
kitchen could have done with someone not cooking to supervise, troubleshot
and co-ordinate.  Please don't arrive early at an event unless you have
prearranged this with the autocrat.  Please don't remove gear from the
site if it isn't yours, leave this for the autocrat and those last out. 
Please ask the autocrats for information, and please don't give
information about the event unless you are the autocrat.

Christmas Revel: (Therese): no report, see FTT for details.

12th Night (Ethelind): St
Barnabas, 6pm, 6.30 for court, 7.30 for feast. Budget presented.  Callum
to acquire cider for the event (a glass each at the door).  Looking for CD
player, someone to assist Ethelind with transportation, and berry pickers.
 $12 prepaid, $15 pre booked but paid on the night.  A&S entries may not
use the kitchen.  Suggest water containers filled and outside the kitchen
to avoid people disturbing the cooks for water.  Discussion on dancing -
doesn't really work at the end of the feast, everyone tired, full and
ready to go home.  Suggest organising dancing for future events for the
beginning of the event, not end.  Eleonora will run the tourney at
Riccarton Park, Sunday 3pm on Chess tournament style. Followed by BBQ and
drinkies post revel.

CF (Bastian et al): no report.

Event  proposals

Anniversary: please????!!

December meeting will set the 1999 dates, and A&S topics for the next year.


General Business:
FTT January Issue: Please ensure submissions are in well in advance to
avoid printing problems over Christmas.

Baronial stuff: Edward and Ethelind to price cooking equipment.
Seamsters guild will be creating a tower stencil for marking stuff.
There will be a shakedown at Ethelind's
house 28 November 11 am onwards.  We will go through everything in her
garage, catalogue, rationalise and re pack it.  Please bring anything you
have of the baronies so we can do a complete job, even if you take it home
again.  This means all you officers, autocrats, champions, and anyone else
who has something of the barony's stored away.  If you can't make it,
please send a list to the Seneschal, Exchequer, B&B.

Meeting closed at 9.37pm.
Minutes taken by and whipped up by Cristia.
