Events
Baron Tairdelbach and many others reported that the
Saline Celtic Fest went well. The weather
was sunny and hot. It did not rain. Many fighters, armored and rapier,
attended. His Excellency Gregoire did an outstanding job as the MC,
combining armored and rapier fighting styles into his narrative. The
audience was well-entertained and informed. The Arts and Sciences area
had many visitors also. We received 35 emails from people interested in
our group. It was noted that the crowds grew larger as the afternoon
progressed.
Old Business
Manchester Library Demo
Sat,
Aug. 21, 12p-4p
912 City Rd
Manchester, Mi 48158
I know
that attention is focused on preparing for Pennsic. I would ask the
Barony to keep in mind that it would be great to make a good showing at
this event. If it goes well there is potential to increase our numbers
and have a say in scheduling if it happens again next year.
The
following is the latest update:
Parking- The volunteers will park in
the back. The lot is fairly large and is located across the street from
the site.
Water- A local merchant has been asked to donate 10 cases
of bottled water.
Period Fables- Arin is supplying the info.
Manchester
community fencers- There is one person who is interested in fencing
with the SCA. He came to practice last week and plans to return.
Clinton Fall Festival
Sept
24-26
Clinton,
MI
Baron
Tairdelbach was approached about the Barony participating in this
event. There is nothing new to report except that it is the same
weekend as Coronation.
Longbow Competition
Renaissance
Festival- Holly, Mi
Sept
25-26
It was
reported that Dillon said there is a $10.00 entry fee for anyone who
wants to participate in the Longbow competition. Check the website-www.michrenfest.com
for more info. At the top of the website go to-- Special
Events--contests--Sept 25/26--Longbow.
U-M
Recruiting
Festifall-
Wed, Sept 8
Northfest-
Tues, Sept 14
Jadwiga
has registered the Barony for Festifall. She is waiting for
confirmation on Northfest. This is our best opportunity to recruit from
the University of Michigan. There will be a call for volunteers after
Pennsic.
It was suggested that the Mass Meeting for newcomers be
held at the Michigan Union. Jadwiga will find out the best available
date for room rental. More info to come.
Old List Field
APPROVED-The
Seneschal reports that Weald Lake has agreed to the purchase price of
$165.00 total for the the list field and the knight stands. Selling the items together releases Cynnabar from our
commitment at Richard's barn. Richard is willing to store the items for
Weald Lake.
Banking
The
group was considering changing banks from the University of Michigan
Credit Union to TCF Bank. On further research it was discovered that it
would cost the group $100.00 to set up an institutional account at
TCF. Also that bank is not nationwide.
Ranthulfr
submitted information about Midwest Financial Credit Union to the
Exchequer. This bank has many of the services that we need, plus they
may merge which would increase the number of their local branches.
The main issue is that the Kingdom Exchequer has to be a
signer on our account. That person does not live in the area and our
current bank will not except a notarized document from that person.
The group decided that more research is needed.
Armored Helmets
The
order is confirmed. We are still waiting for delivery. The order is for
one medium and one extra large helm from Ashcraft Baker.
Pennsic
Arms Display
The Herald has received 33 entries.

to come.

Financial Policy
If the fundraiser is done by a group representing the
Barony it goes to the general fund. If the group needs an item. They

fundraiser was not enough.
This policy has been in place since last year.
