Meeting came to order at 7:30pm
Officers' Reports
Seneschal
Received an e-mail from Dame Katriona Kingdom New Groups minister; after
all cards were sent, Lord Keegan’s expired, so a new one was ordered online
and
sent to Dame Katriona.
Discussion about gathering the Canton members (and anyone who has actively
assisted us) for a dinner at Pennsic. Tentatively this was scheduled for
Monday, Aug. 11, 2003. Any changes will be posted on website.
Exchequer
The Canton owes Penny money for the demo sale items and for the water cooler
for fighter practice.
We have $123
We don’t have an account yet
Bilgisayar: Bhakail can put Canton money into their account and they
will NOT be able to access it. They are required to give it to the Canton
when
asked.
Castellan/Chatelaine
No new events. We want to be very newbie friendly.
Spoke to baronial castellan who has a computer program for the website
to connect newbies to specific officers for info. (e.g. checking “fighting”
box will email
the Knight Marshall)
Next scheduled demo is the craft fair in Media. A special meeting will
be held prior to arrange details.
Penni: Added links to event announcement for Yule to connect to Castellans
for Gold Key if newbies need garb.
Mistress of Arts and Sciences
Garb workshops at Elleanora’s. Must be changed to Tuesdays, until further
notice. From now until Pennsic we will be concentrating on warm weather
garb.
Class lists for Pennsic was made available.
Lady Melodie printed out cross-stitch patterns for all officer badges.
Lord William shared a new book on Mead-making. Discussion resulted
in request for a Mead class to be taught to the Canton in the fall.
Wm. Fitzwalter told about Margot Anderson as a resource for patterns
for late period garb, particularly English Elizabethan.
Herald
Laurel leaves were not a complete circle on “proposed” device, so changes were
made and shown to members present. Discussion resulted in most preferring
black and gold design. Device will be submitted once we are incipient.
Found documentation to justify canton name if it is questioned.
Knight Marshal
Fighter practice continues on Tuesday nights from 6:30-8:30pm. Attendance
varies. Lord William is still working on locating an indoor site for winter.
Lord William will notify the Seneschal of Caer Adamant of the practice days
and times to keep good relations.
Lord Callum’s armory is available to Canton members. Lord Asbjorn has also
offered to help build armor.
Wm. Fitzwalter offered a possible project for making a “segmented lorca”.
Bilgisayar stated that he will possibly have access to loaner armor after
Pennsic.
Web mistress
Technical difficulties delayed the posting of last month’s minutes.
Once Canton name is approved “bachhost” will host domain for $20/year.
Special Committees
Yule
Gina will be setting up separate meetings for the Yule committee. A Yahoo
group was formed for this purpose. She would like to have an auction
at the event,
and is accepting donations.
Beltane Brew and Brawl
Del and Mike met with the owner and looked at two possible areas for the event
at that site. One area was crop fields, the other sheep pasture. He said
that the sheep pasture would make a much better location due to the size.
This would also give more flexibility to the scheduling. They will be going
to the site again in the near future to obtain a map, he would like other
people to join them on the tour. Tentative date the weekend of 4/30/04-5/2/04.
After Pennsic a committee should be formed to start working on details.
Old Business
Pennsic. Planning on a dinner to celebrate the canton. Monday seems best.
Chamberlain – No vote was held last month, Corwyn expressed interest. Exchequer
stated that she must hold the list of Canton property, at this point a
Chamberlain is not needed. Issue tabled. New Business
Chronicler – Lady Marrun volunteered for the position. Members voted and
unanimously approved.
Common Pavilion – Lord William stated that this should be a priority
to enable Canton members to “hang out” together. Wm. Fitzwalter
mentioned
10x13 ft.
pavilion from Wal-Mart. Del mentioned possibly making one. Discussion
tabled until after
Pennsic.
Announcements and/or Comments for the good of the Canton
Next meeting scheduled for Monday, September 8, 2003
Meeting concluded at 9:15pm.
