Assorted Business
The
Champions Tourney was
discussed. In general everyone felt that it had gone well. Some
improvement on feast set up was suggested, and date changes to avoid
conflicts could help.(this year we were subject to Rodeo scheduling).
Dalbach asked people how they felt about adding a Defenders tourney on
a regular basis as we used to do. It was done spontaneously this year
when guests showed up with armor. After some conversation it was
acknowledged that more time needs to be devoted to the topic and it was
tabled for now. Dalbach asked that everyone reflect on how they feel
about this topic so it can be discussed at next months meeting for
decision.
Shire
Regalia was moved to a
new storage unit and seems to be a good price (35$/month) for what we
are storing. There is a need for shelving to help organize items to
facilitate inventory and set up a check in and check out system.. Ihon
and Dalbach have volunteered to do this. Lachlan and Thorhalla have
shelving that they have offered for this need It was suggested that
over a period of a couple of years we would pay for a stand alone shed
on that could be kept on someone’s property.
Dalbach
asked the next
seneschal to set next year’s calendar by January so the
planning can take place without time crunches.
He also
suggested more
public relations to garner interest from the community. Several ideas
were offered, like Christmas sharing trees, a play at the community
center, relay for life, a booth at the county faire
and don’t forget the one-on-one conversation with co-workers,
neighbors, friends and relatives.
Dalbach
announced the format for next years A&S Championship will be to
create a tool that is appropriate for your persona. More details on
website.

The Ren
Faire in Cranehaven
was discussed, date next April. The Art of War has been scheduled for
the same weekend, but it was agreed there are still enough people
committed to do the kitchen at the Ren Faire. Dubeassa and Dalbach will
head up the Kitchen Crew. Many hands will be needed to run the kitchen,
and put up and take down the great wall. It is speculated that this
will be a significant fund raiser so please consider volunteering any
time you can to help out! It will put funds in our general coffer
towards events we sponsor and other shire needs.
Largess
for two sets of Royals was discussed. Ideas abound and all are
encouraged to contribute to the gifts. The November A&S

great experience at the Rodeo Grounds. It will be left on the agenda
for next meeting when we discuss the 2010 calendar.
