South Downs Baronial Business Meeting
20 June 2018, 7:30pm
Notes submitted by Lady Raven Helmsplitter, South Downs Chronicler.
Herald (Lord Lucien d’Artois) called the meeting to order. Master Wistric sez “Welcome! If you did not sign in, please sign in!”
The purpose of tonight’s meeting is to have the autocrats of Red Tower and Castle Wars present their budgets for each event for review and approval before they are submitted to Kingdom.
Event Bid Presentations
- Red Tower
- Lord Mark reviewed the details of the budget breakdown. Please click here to view the budget
- It has been confirmed that we will be able to have live weapons at the site (Camp Rutledge)
- Motion to approve the bid was made, seconded, and approved unanimously
- Castle Wars
- Lady Juliane reviewed the details of the budget. Please click here to view the budget
- Lady Juliane further reported that our Facebook event page shows we’ve already got 300 people saying that they’re planning on going to Castle Wars, and are asking about event registration.
- THL Sibella will be making our site tokens (300 each red and white roses)
- We will rent a U-Haul truck to transport the castle walls to and from site
- Motion to approve the bid was made, seconded, and approved unanimously (except for Sir Iazzie, on principle 😀 )
Other SCA Business
- Camp Kitchen Purchases
- THL Mariana did a great job breaking down what we need and what we already have
- Budget requested: $450 ($417 for supplies, remainder to cover shipping, etc.)
- Motion to approve the bid was made, seconded, and approved unanimously
- THL Andreva, our fearless reeve, pointed out that any purchases for SCA purposes must not include any personal purchases on the receipt – they must be completely separated.
- Iazzie reported that Lady Mairghread received her Argent Shield at Legends last weekend (yay!)
- Mairghread has been asked by the shire of Owl’s Nest to serve as their interim Knight Marshal, as they don’t have one right now.
- Sir Caius Aurelius, the Kingdom Earl Marshal, has asked all the local groups to provide him with an inventory of their loaner gear; Mairghread will work on that for the Barony, and will be coordinating with our quartermaster, Lord Lucien, on this project. Mark will be adding further to our loaner gear (in process).
With all business being completed, the business meeting was closed and we returned to our regularly-scheduled dance practice.
The next South Downs business meeting will be held Wednesday, 11 July 2018, at Little Tree Art Studios.
