Baronial Business Meeting Minutes

Meeting Minutes for 1-29-18

Officer Reports

Archery – We had 5 new people at practice. Some of

the archers plan to visit other group’s practices once a

month. Other groups would like to do the same for

our practices.

- Gunnarr is working to get her Youth officer

certification. She will not be an official baronial officer,

but rather a Youth “Marshal” at large for archery and

possibly for event activities if needed.

Herald – Nicolai needs to step down ASAP. We are

looking for a replacement. Gunnarr will step up in the

interim until we find a herald. She is willing to do the

voice heraldry, but we need a book herald as well as

someone to maintain the Baronial Order of

Precedence.

Upcoming Events and Announcements:

Spring Event

- We discussed having a light A&S presence since we

are focusing on the TOD. Sigulf is willing to coordinate

classes and activities if people want to teach. We also

discussed approaching Aurora to see if she wanted to

run a games area again.

- We will have Their Majesties in attendance only.

- Katrin submitted the Pale for the February and

March issues. She was able to correct the phone

number mistake for the March issue.

- Katrin also created a new Facebook page. Ursus was

having issues with his Facebook account and

unfortunately, everything connected to his account

was deleted including our event page.

Event Reports

Their Excellencies attended Candlemas. There was a

large turnout for visiting royalty.

Officer Reports

Archery – We are having issues with an ROTC group

coming into the Armory on Sundays and disrespecting

the boundaries that Gunnarr has set up for safety

reasons. We have the entire Armory reserved on

Sundays. We discussed trying to communicate with the

group directly and then going to their commanding

officer if the behavior does not stop. Moonwulf has

uprights the group can use to rope off the area as well.

The Archery Collegium is set for Saturday February

10th, 2018 at Huis Doorn from 1-6 pm. There will be

classes on sharpening and repairing of gear.

Seneschal – Brianna’s report is due soon. Let her know

ASAP if there is anything she needs to add to her

report.


Spring Event

- We discussed the tentative Fencing and TOD

schedule. Authorizations 9-10; Cut & Thrust Tourney/

Novice Tourney 10-11; TOD 11-3 with pauses for

lunch; Regional War Practice melees 3-4:30

- Who is in charge of getting snacks and bringing the

jugs of water for the fighters? We will discuss that

closer to the event.

- We also need more marshals to confirm that they

will be marshaling and not just playing. We discussed

advertising on the marshal and MOD boards and we

can do a sign up volunteer sheet/online sign up.

- We need to check with Rocky for exact start and end

times, but lunch is usually between 11-2.

- Will we have a morning court and how will that

affect the tournament schedule? Malie will discuss that

with Their Majesties.

- Do we want the falconers back? ‘Coise will make

contact with that group again.

- We discussed the list set up. The fencers will get the

larger area this year. We will need to use more of our

rope/stanchions/uprights to mark the additional lists.

New Officers Nikolai Vasilei Stefanov has stepped down as

the Rivenstar Baronial Herald. We wish him luck in all his new endeavors!

Jacob MacAndrews has graciously

accepted the office of the Rivenstar Baronial Herald.

Congratulations Jacob!

Baronial Business Meeting Minutes

- Any items that are coming from Pieter’s house need

to be picked up since he will not be attending the

event this year due to work conflicts. Enkara

volunteered to pick up the tents and supplies.

- Katrin will send Enkara a copy of the schedule she

made last year. We discussed doing posters again this

year. We don’t think we need handouts.

- Nicolai will have a feast tasting/development

meeting soon. Contact him if you want to be in the

planning meetings.

- Gunnarr asked for artists to help her make

advancing targets for the archery range. There were

several volunteers.

- Enkara contacted Arranxta about the feast tokens.

‘Coise confirmed we are putting in an order for the

rapier charms for site tokens.

- We discussed heralds for the event. Since it’s a royal

court, they will have their own heralds signed up for

court. We will still need field heralds to make

announcements.

- We discussed juggling archery and thrown weapons

marshals throughout the day.

Officer Reports

Archery – Gunnarr asked if the archery group was

allowed to purchase target faces. The group voted yes

for the purchase. The Fort Wayne group will be here

this Sunday and there will be scored shooting.

Chronicler – The next issue of the newsletter will be

out next week.

Chatelaine – See Rocky if you need loaner garb or

helping making garb.

Exchequer – ‘Coise was asked to bring in the

checkbook, but no one remembered why. No deposits

or payments are due for anything just yet.

Herald – We have a new herald!

Jacob MacAndrews has graciously volunteered to be

our baronial herald. The change of officer form was

filled out during the meeting and Jacob will be

contacting his regional and kingdom officers as well as

5

Vol 16, Issue 1

filling out the report that is due soon.

Seneschal – Brianna’s quarterly report has been sent.


Feast Planning Meeting - Huis Doorn, this Sunday

2/25 at 5:00 pm

Spring Event

- Encara read us the email response from the group she

contacted in Ohio that is planning a fencing centric

event opposite our TOD. They are aware of the potential

for conflict and will discuss it further with their group.

- We hope to have more detailed schedules up soon for

the website and the Facebook page.

- Lunch will be from 11-2 pm.

- The archers will assist with lunch to help raise funds for

their group again this year.

- We need to further evaluate what kind of A&S

presence we need for the event. The active members of

the barony involved in the event planning would like to

focus primarily on the TOD, but the Midrealm populous

has voiced a general desire to have A&S functions at all

events. Encara will coordinate with Sigulf. If anyone

wishes to teach or host an A&S event, please contact

Encara or Sigulf and we will try to build a respectable

schedule.

- The fencing schedule has changed; Jacob sent Encara

the information he received from our Marshal in Charge

(MIC).

- The first Feast Planning meeting is scheduled at Huis

Doorn, this Sunday 2/25 at 5:00 pm.

- What signs do we need? Encara has a plan. Let her

know if we need any additional signage.

- We confirmed that the March Pale ad has the correct

phone number for the autocrat.

- Katrin will update the Facebook page as information

becomes available and we will get word to Ursus about

updating the website.
