[Wyewood] June Business Meeting Notes

[Jennifer Usher]

*June Business Meeting Notes*

June 22, 2018 – Friday. The meeting was enthusiastically called to order at
7:30, by Baron Evrard, with 29 in attendance.



Baron Evrard began with gratitude and thanks from Dragonslaire (and his
own) for Wyewood participation at June Faire, and the outstanding gate
support (Yeah, Alarich and Aline!). There was also something about T.
Rex(es?)??

Athenaeum is the 30th – we have participants, and all encouraged to attend!

July Coronation and September Crown are coming, anyone interested in
coordinating a Wyewood camp would be appreciated and supported!



Seneschal Liadain deferred any leading input in favor of comments as the
agenda unfolds…


*Exchequer Report – Sara.  *
 -Very little financial activity to report for the month of June.
 -2nd Quarter Financial Report will be due to kingdom at the end of July.
 -Am working to get costs from five different “biffie” services for
Champions; I need specifics on number.
 -Reminder  to officers and event stewards/autocrats: ask for cheques at
least a month before you need them.  This includes society insurance
certificate, gate change, advances for event supplies, etc.

 *Arts & Sciences Report – Sofia.*

 -Fiber Night had six  participants (in spite of some illness among
regulars...).

 -HL Aurora Rose has initiated a sewing night - alternating Mondays. There
were four at the initial event! -Next Sewing Night will be June 25th.

-HL Aurora Rose will be teaching a class on Hoods at the FCS on July
13th,with initial pattern work - no sewing.  Sewing support will be
available at Sewing Nights, and maybe at Fiber Night!

 *Herald/Pursuivant Report – Avine.*
-A piece of armory recently passed.  I am keeping an eye on a few other
submission that are at Kingdom level.

-I am working on a coordinating a consulting table for Champions.  I don't
know if it will be a "full-service" table or not at this point.

 -Private consulting continues via FaceBook, email, and in-person, with the
aid of Baron Evrard.

Please welcome my newest deputy, Lord Alarich Iarngard von Thorn.



*Archery Report – Tymme.*

-We have been consistently having practices Wed and Sat. Our attendance is
around 7 people on Wed, and around 15 on Saturdays.

-We had a crossbow prod break on Wed, with a small bit of color difference
noticed where it broke, implying a flaw in the metal. (More colorful
account given by Tymme – just ask him!)

-The target pins have been gone through and the bent up ones have been
purged.

-Baron Evrard offered accolades for all the “best of year” and “best all
time scores” that are being recorded.



*Rapier Report – Ramon*.

-Little to report due to broadly defined “life.”  Said “Life” is expected
to improve in the coming month.



 *Chatelaine Report – Tabytha.*

 -Very little to report on the Chatelaine end, though many active
discussions!

-I was at Madrone's Champions Tourney and Demo last weekend, and had a very
pleasant time talking with people who were also in the park and curious.

-At June Faire 3 weeks ago, I was present as a merchant, which gave me much
opportunity to engage Chatelaine Mode.  It went very well, but nothing
specific to report.

- Gabri is going to be Deputy – Tabby is on plan to be Kingdom Chatelaine
end of next year.




*Webster Report – Geoffrey * -Updates for email changes (Microsoft 365) has
been done. This is being pushed by Kingdom, also linked webpages that will
offer some efficiency for us…


*Chronicler Report – Emma.  - *Chronicler up in Canada/Girl Scout Event.
- Working on next Newsletter; available next FCS.
 -Library – Ameline and Emma still need to connect to retrieve.





*Baroness Alessandra.*

like to attend, please send dimensions by June 27th.

 All is on track, biffies still being “tracked…”

-

Liadain emphasized that all details are not required to submit an event
proposal/concept. For emphasis…



*Kingdom Dance Symposium, Sara.*
