[Cynnabar] BoC Meeting Minutes for the 01/14/13 meeting

Tue Jan 15 09:55:53 CST 2013

To add just a little bit of clarity to the New comers for sunday practice
this coming week.

We will have 15 to 20 individuals showing up. To complicate things further
we will be in the Henderson room in the league.

While i feel it is important for us to put our best feet forward, Please
keep in mind there will be very limited space.

For further clarifications or questions on what may be needed. Please
contact myself or Lord Galen our fencing marshal.

Regards,
Baren Jasen Irenfest
Knight Marshal Barony of Cynnabar

> that same date to make sure we are in the clear. The proposed site is the
> Liberty School in Saline, MI (same site as we hosted Coronation).
> Discussion was held about use and functionality of the site, including
> concerns over floor covering for fighting and space needs/utilization.
> Prices was also discussed. Part of that discussion is the conditional
> approval of spending up to $500 for the site deposit, as long as it is
> confirmed that it is fully refundable. No showstoppers were brought up.
> Godaeth will bring back a full budget proposal for a separate approval
