OFFICER REPORTS

EXCHEQUER – All Autumn Rose reports were submitted. Some amounts had to be estimated, (eg the dumpsters).
Check for $51.95 written to Kudrun for archery, pilgrimage, and stone soup supplies.
A&S – There was only one item left from the silent auction at AR. See report of activities below.

CHIRURGEON – Vettoria hasn’t taken the classes yet, but she’ll let us know (and leave the room) when she does.

MARSHALS – nothing happening

WEB MINISTER – Shane has been working on spiffy new website design. Needs permissions from officers to list contact info. Do we need a more private email than the Yahoo list? Probably not was the consensus. Kudrun – send minutes or Birches from last year to the Web Guru.

CHATELAINE – “Hi!” Fulfilled A&S 50 challenge by talking with 50 people at Autumn Rose. Lets invite other groups to moots, events, and picnics.

YOUTH MINISTER – Alois stayed home with Mommy. Brighid (former YM) says, “Hi.”

HERALD – Nothing yet. Will meet with Kudrun about requirements of the office.

SENESCHAL – Coille Stoirmeil is bidding to become a shire and asked for their neighbors’ support. Boy are they gonna get it! They are hosting Tournament of Chivalry on November 14 – let’s support them.

AUTUMN ROSE

125 people attended. We lost about $260 on the event. Need a better budgeting procedure, especially for feast. (Our feast fees were below average for an above average feast.) Feast budget and trial feast should be done by May. Menu posted by June. The silent auction made $170 – enough to pay for NMS. We need contact info for the Bard of Rokeclif. Next year’s Autumn Rose (Autumn Rose Sweet XVIth Century ) will be run by a triumverate: Bronislava, Vitaliano, and Gavin.

  • Advice to any Event Steward: don’t move the week before the event.
  • The number of seats at feast is flexible.
  • T-Bone’s has another engagement for 2010. Annie’s Eats was good fair food. Breakfasts would be good. Failend will investigate.

SPRING EVENT? – We discussed the possibility of a spring event – perhaps declaring a snit on Coille Stoirmeil, who may have designs on our lands. “I smell a snit” was bandied about. Fighting between our marshaled activities (archery and thrown weapons (including cow pies)) and their marshaled activities (heavy & light swords) was discussed. A cookoff would make a good feast. Gwyneth and Silver were suggested as judges.

No residents showed up for free food, though Bob advertised our offer. We devoured a lot of really great food.
