New business:

Exchequer: Daffodil not completely calculated or reported. St Luke’s hasn’t cashed cheque – will wait for staledate. Bin of leftover food from Daffodil given to Stores – most will keep.

Chronicler: Last month’s minutes accepted.

Master of Blades: Quarterly report attachment bounced from Rocks. Practicing battle manoeuvres. Sent Iron Key equipment list to Reann. Report from Daffodil sent to Tir Righ. Surt and Vincent will be signed-off as Senior Rapier Marshals.

A&S: Everything is great. Nice display at Daffodil. Got 100 yards of linen for dyeing. Cecille & Iago are planning on holding A&S once a month. Need more A&S work so we can award some Jambes de Lions.

Dance: Seneschal pointed out that Dance Mistress gave a good detailed report – makes him happy. Anastasia wants to run a Masked Ball on May 9^th. Details to follow.

Herald: Had visiting Heralds at Daffodil, so lots of help. Waterbearing supplies were appreciated and well used.  Need new ropes – not enough to go twice around four erics that we’ll have at Coronet. Master of Stables will have Allan fix posts and will buy new rope.

Scribe: submitted 2 quarterly reports by accident. Thank you to Makayla, Morgaine, and others for charters. Painting party has 2 scrolls currently in the works.

Baron & Baroness: Thank you for Daffodil. Good feedback from Majesties. Highnesses will probably not come to Sealion. Next Monthly Tourney on 26^th. Would like proposals for next year’s Daffodil prizes by next council please.

Seneschal: It’s been a year, and warrant runs out in another year. Wants to encourage volunteers to run council as a tryout – prepare agenda, run meeting, get to use gavel…

Event business:

Daffodil report: Gave money and receipts to Exchequer. Gate is off by $100-200, more or less. Archery tourney started without waivers, plus Gate was not apparent at Ambrosia Centre. Post Mortem last Tuesday: small mistakes made but lots of good things about event. Inga suggests if you’re planning to Autocrat an event, attend a Post Mortem for great ideas and insight. Ming suggests that all events should have a Post Mortem with minutes to bring to next Council for next event Autocrat’s use.

Sealion: Plans are coming along smoothly. Lots of volunteers so far. First meeting on April 9^th at 7pm. Will bring updated report to next council meeting.

Coronet: Jacques is in the early planning stages of event. Will have more info by next council.

SYG: Owen will Autocrat.

SST: Mathieu may Autocrat.

Other business:

Baroness: Got an email from a Guider to attend something on April 18^th at Camp Barnard (9-1130am). Jacques will contact her for more info.

Morgaine: Demo on June 13. Oak Bay will let us know soon if we can use Willows Beach. If we don’t get it, will we have time to plan the demo this year? Discussion ensued and decision made to defer demo to next year to have more time to prepare.

No further business. Meeting adjourned.
