*Seneschal Report – Martyn* (Brandon Scheltema – Chapter’s President)



*Other Offices seeking … *


Chatelaine – Immediate replacement, required office

Chief Archer – Tymme will continue until replacement – thank you Tymme!
Rapier Marshal – Possible applicant – practice still going strong at
Kennydale.
“Branch” Marshal – This position doesn’t have to be a Heavy Fighter.

*Do you want to run an event?*
The Barony needs 3 events per year.  At this time we have only one.
If you have questions or interested – please don’t hesitate.  Being an
event steward can be a lot of fun.

1)      Feast on the 9th of February.

2)      Champions is being moved to September 7th, still *tentatively* on
Kingdom Calendar as August 10th until confirmed with Kingdom Event Calendar
person.  Still looking for an event bid/event steward.

3)      There are a couple of ideas floating around for day events.  Which
more the merrier!  We don’t have to limit to 3 events 😊




*Exchequer Report – Sara* (Sara Bonneville)

End of Year 2018 financial position:

Barony has ended the year with approximately $20,560 in combined chequing
and savings account. Exact number will be affected by December interest
earnings, which I do not have yet.

This is about $10 less than the balances at the beginning of the year. This
is very, very good. We actually brought in more money than we spent on the
three events this year – especially St Bubba’s – and the donations from
members at archery practice and the bubba-can at meetings has been very
generous.

*2019 branch budget: *

There has been zero feedback from officers as to proposed branch budget for
2019. Since there has been input, I am proposing to the financial committee
that we adopt a budget that is very similar to last year’s.

* Planned Income (Sources):
Fund Raisers $500
Donations $500
Net Event Proceeds $800
Interest Earnings $40

-------------------------------------------

$1,840

* Planned Expenditures (Uses): Coronet $300
Officers $1,325
Operating (rent, etc.) $3,480 (Wenyeva donates web services)
Baronial Property $500
Reserve $500

-------------------------------------------
$6,105

Net Planned Deficit <$4,265>

That means our bank account would be over $4,000 less than it is now.
Planned Income is projected conservatively, partly due to expectation that
net proceeds from events will be less than prior year because of the
increased cost of St. Bubba site.

*Herald/Pursuivant Report – Alarich * (Peter von Groote)

Just added some blazons – Possible  badge submission, need to do a conflict
check.


Working on a seal for the Barony, Martyn is checking out a source to see
how well the design is cut and handles the wax.

************
*Archery Report – Tymme *(Tim Geyer)
*** Office seeking applicants for Chief Archer*


Archery is still happening, as is thrown weapons.  *Practice is cancelled
for Ursalmas.*



The range is rather soggy and may need to be shifted soon to get away from
the mud pits right in front of the bales.



Glymm Mere and Blatha an Oir have been showing up to our practices fairly
regularly, and Dragon's Laire on occasion.  GM and DL have range issues
(aka water/mud).



I put a call out if someone wants to run a Cupid shoot.  I have some
targets and such that can be used, but don't have the time to put it
together.



I'm not sure when IKAC medallions will be officially handed out, but John
de Percy earned his first!  (Period Crossbow, An Tir took 2nd place)



I will have medallions to hand out at Feast for last season's top 10.
