Events

SYG
Small, intimate event. Over 40 gentles attended. Profit of $85.00.

Ithra
Moved: that Seagirt subsidize instructor’s transport costs (if required) for Foodsafe Ithra class; this subsidy not to establish precedent.
Moved by: Uilliam
Seconded by: Theocharista
Motion carried.

SST
Proposed: that Seagirt supply the cost of ferry travel one-way for Their Highnesses of Tir Righ, to an approximate cost of $72.00. Passed without prejudice.
Autocrat: Chirurgeon is in place, Lists is in place. Event website is being moved. Blue Helm will happen; Scottish rules croquet will happen. Archery – still need format from Erasmus, who says he has a five-part format in mind. Pancake breakfast Sunday morning.

Feast of the Immaculate Confection (Yule)
Bids needed for event. St. Dunstan’s is becoming too small. Other locations? Ukranian Center?

Seneschals’ & Exchequers’ Retreat
Beginning of November.
Lenora is asking for vehicle cost (ferry & gas) to attend. Approved.

War of Feast or Famine
(Aug 21st weekend)
Seth is unable to come, although he is autocrat. No event staff in place. Possibilities include appoint another autocrat; cancel event. Short notice cancellation may jeopardize future use of Camp Bernard. T’sai T’ien P’u will take over as autocrat. Due to this event’s poor performance historically, this is the last go for WFF. If attendance is poor, event will not be held in future.

Old Business

The Baronial Newsletter

Should the Glaucous continue? Discussion of pros and cons of ceasing official newsletter. Summary: When SCA first formed, newsletters were effective and timely. These days electronic distribution is more effective and cheaper. If we do this, Chronicler duties become web-based publishing and archival in nature.
Moved: that the Glaucous be retired and the barony cease producing an official newletter; information to be presented on the website; subscribers to have the option of a pro-rata refund or donating balance to the Barony
Moved by: Glynis Fawr
Seconded by: Brenethwyn
Motion carried.

Meeting adjourned at 2100
