January 2022 Business Meeting Notes

12 January 2022, First United Methodist Church

Attending: Juliana, William, Rune, Randall, Avelyn, Tatiana, Sophia, Ben, Sofya, Sifrid, Brigida, Gobban, Gwyn.

Chatelaine: Finally got some of the bookmarks to hand out at demos, from Kris Kinder. No demos coming up.

Chronicler: We can have an issue when people submit enough material. He’s planning a feature article with little blurbs from everyone about what we’ve been doing with the SCA during the Covid. Juliana thinks it would be interesting to learn more about the history of games like Goose, Shut-the-Box, etc.

Herald: We have names and devices.

Exchequer: All checks have been cashed, our accounts are balanced.

Archery: We’re going to try to get in an indoor archery shoot this winter, since the Mohawk Archery club isn’t doing their big 3D shoot this winter hogging the space. Probably a Saturday in February.

Web Minister: We have a website. He hasn’t heard anything new on the official email situation.

Contact Group Sponsoring: the Spencer area group is requesting us to be a sponsor. The main “real” thing is that we would need to track their money. And if they want to do an event, we’d have to be the official hosting group (do the paperwork and track the money). It’s usually takes about 3 years to either they prove they can make it or not. We vote to sponsor them.

A&S Meeting: Gida is going to do etching since she hasn’t been able to get the fabric stamping stuff together.

November 2021 Business Meeting

10 November 2021, First United Methodist Church

Attending: Rune, Tatiana, Sophia, Ben, Avelyn, Randall, Juliana, William, Sifrid, Sofya, Brigida, Berndt, Gwyn, Gobban

Chatelaine: nothing new, not sure if we want to approach Hampton this year, maybe after Christmas

Herald: nothing new, new personas/devices/badges being considered.

Chronicler: if we want an issue in January, start getting him some articles

Exchequer: no new expenditures or incomes.

Web Minister: we have a webpage. He hasn’t heard anything on the new officer email situation.

Archery Marshal: we have bows and arrows. It would be nice if we could use them.

Events: Juliana is going to tour the Cedar Spring Park that Jutte found, although they’re transitioning leadership so that will complicate things. It sounds like a really nice site. Full kitchen, big gym-like space, pre-set archery range.

There isn’t a lot of new information on Jutte. She’s getting a bit stir-crazy. WBC are really low, might be needing a bone marrow transplant.
