Previous Minutes: 2 March 1999
Business arising: Signage quotes: A frame with white board is $70.  We have a
lot of signs that are not being used (putting the small neon signs in the feast box
might promote use of these).  We could probably make a plywood sigh cheaper. 
Will reconsider when current signs start getting used.  Business cards:  Adele is
to bring a suggested design to the next meeting - should include SCA, web
address, P.O. Box, and a descriptive line, and include a medieval graphic.

Officers Reports
Baron and Baroness: Discussed the TV1 and TV3 requests for news items on us.

TV1 (Holmes Show) will be at First Feast.  Asked to hold court in Wellington,
following this up with caution, looking at precedent.  Any recommendations or
comments re court please give these directly to the B&B.  Finished first part of
the eric, looking at making the tabards now.  Held three courts at Anniversary
and gave out the last of the AoA's.  Investing the A&S Champion at First Feast.
Seneschal: (Cristia) Lots of correspondence with stewards this month, watch for
events coming up. Talking with B&B and stewards and organising the TV1 demo
at First Feast.  Received quarterly reports from the Marshal and A&S.  Awaiting
RF seneschal's report before sending quarterly report to Kingdom.  Almost
completed the stewards pack.  Busy with stewards, events, and newcomers
activities.  Please note, we had a problem at Anniversary where the steward
made arrangements that were countermanded by someone else, and this resulted
in 10 people losing their tickets for the feast.  Please do not contradict the
arrangements that a steward has made - if you have any questions about them,
contact the steward your self for clarification.
Marshal: (Tycho) Quarterly report out to Kingdom.  Sorting out loaner armour
for new fighters.  Gave a job description to Theuns.  Triple elimination tourney
in the heat is too much!  Need a new lists officer, esp one who is not fighting. 
Fighters practices going well, lots of keen new fighters.  Richard is to follow up
on getting ballroom for fighters practice in the holidays - maybe a good will gift
for the security guard.
Exchequer: (Richard) Out $1637.65, In $339.38.  Balances: General a/c
$1192.28 FTT $580.98 COH $167.  Canterbury Faire money not yet in, to be
followed up immediately.  Also, all stewards to ensure they get ticket money, esp
cheques to the exchequer for banking as soon as possible - don't wait til after the
event! Society exchequer says we are not included in the US tax report. 
Quarterly report done. 

Herald: (Lughaid) Article for FTT, COH mins in - order name and badge
(general) for the Barony accepted.  Did court at Anniversary, Fleur de Gallant

discount.  Sigurd to purchase.  Fire blanket expensive $52 and may not be

Anniversary: (Ayeshah) Congratulations to the stewards on a good event,
everything went well. $765 in $59 out $175 surplus.  Small amount of lost and

accepted.  See Sigurd's apple fritters!  Much discussion and ideas for classes. 
Maybe on-line registration forms.
ME mid-winter: (Adele) Looking at first week In July.  Will have proposal at
next meeting
Other:  Easter weekend 2000 suggested by Cristia as ideal for an event (April
21-24).  First Feast will move to May in 2000 to better fit with Anniversary and
new University term.
