OFFICER REPORTS

Chatelaine has invited Duke Sir Brother-in-Law Garrick to talk to us about chivalry on Monday, December 27 at Lady Cybele’s. We can meet at 5 for pot luck. Please pre-fix stuff so we can begin eating at 6. We’ll have some beefy stock started, so stone soup items will be welcome. So will breads, appetizers, salads, desserts… Bronislavá will also be talking with the kingdom seneschal about finding new members. She’s inviting Belle and Sorcha to talk with us about dance, A&S, and persona in January.

A&S — Kudrun led an A&S 50 Challenge gathering at Boar’s Head. Bronislavá is writing up the trip in persona, but is having trouble finishing it because she’s laughing so hard. Since Sir Garrick is visiting with us this month, we’re not holding the A&S night on the 20th.

Deputy Exchequer — We’re still solvent.

Equestrian — the horsies are cold.

Deputy Chirurgeon — we’re all ok… as much as ever.

Deputy Youth Minister — Shared a recipe for stuffed and roasted children.

Deputy Web Minister — There’s intertubes! Eeek! They’s popped!

Deputy Herald — Oyez! Oops.

Deputy Rapier Marshal is in full support of our Rapier on Ice event. Armored Combat Marshal suggested using the rapier marshal as ammunition for a ballista. Archery Marshal educated Armored Combat Marshal on siege weaponry, so the suggestion was adjusted to the trebuchet. The Rapier Marshal was apparently speechless. New rules — no swimming in armor.

Deputy Nay-Sayer said no to all of the above. Robert volunteered to be the Equestrian Marshal so he could say―neigh‖ but he refused to leave the room, so he couldn’t be voted on.

GAMES EVENT—April 30

The building has been sold. The new owners are supposed to honor all contracts, BUT…

BARDIC MADNESS

Mistress Eithni hasn’t received commitment for Bardic Madness. The calendar is filling rapidly. (There are only three free weekends before WW!) We may just need to pull this rabbit out of a hat. Stay tuned.

AUTUMN ROSE — August 26-28

CORONATION or CROWN

There are no takers on either spring or fall Coronation or Crown. What if we offered to do an Autumn Rose Coronation in 2011? Kudrun will research what it would take for a Coronation bid.

THAT MOOT THINGY — February 4-6

Coille Stoirmeil has asked us to do lunch. Kudrun will make a big pot of stew and squash soup (vegetarian). We’ll need bread & fruits & vegies, maybe dessert. Bronislavá and Robert would help, but need day-trip transportation. (Update) Vitaliano had already agreed to provide lunch of Hot Dogs and Macaroni and Cheese (served Period Style).
