*Upcoming Baronial Events and Demos*

*Canton Public Library Demo*:  Sunday October 23, 2016 tentatively 1-3 pm.

·         Demo leader: Eidy and Ceara are discussing sharing this post.

·         We MUST get details to Amelia ASAP.  The Library has to publish
this event within 3 weeks.

·         Kay toured site in late July.  Nice spaces. The main room is high
ceilinged and could host combat if audience is along walls. It has AV, and
a large wall that would be excellent for slide show projection.  A possible
spot for combat could be roped off on one side of the entry walkway.  I
have photos.

·         Leaders of demo will tour site, see if and where combat
activities could happen.

·         Amelia (Librarian) requesting  a mix of activities: Dance, Art &
Science Activities and display, Martial Arts display and demo if room
allows, Music performance, even a parade through the library to attract
attention at the start… really up to those who can come and work.

·         Attendees would be families.

*New Business* (includes items potentially requiring budget outlays)

*Custom designed Coins for Grand Day of Tournaments Betting Game*. Master
Derian le Breton the Coiner $120-150. 1st of 3 meetings

Derian would like to strike 6000 coins, with a Cynnabar themed obverse and
possible special reverse.  He will donate his time, labor and materials to
create the dies. Material for the coins themselves would cost about $120.  The
least expensive blanks are aluminum, $20/ 1000 blanks for a total cost to
the Barony of $120-$150. (Kay added fudge factor/ shipping expenses)

Discussion:

·         Derian has discussed the idea with Straum who gave him the
estimate of number of coins needed.

·         The Baron and Baroness have been consulted and like the idea.

·         Would these be the site token?

o   No. There is no budget in the GDoT event proposal for site tokens.  Usually
the existing miscellaneous coin bags and a hand stamp are the proof of
purchase.

·         How will we get them back?

o   Some of the coins will be kept as souvenirs, of course.

o   Ceara reports that she and Daye get our current coins back by offering
raffle tickets for everyone one returned in past years.

·         Will “apprentice coiners” be able to help with the striking?

o   Yes, it would be just like the demonstration at Celtic Festival.

·         Could coins be struck as a demonstration at the Canto Library
Demo?

o   Yes, and yes, if Derian is able to attend the Demo.

o   Kay notes this might be a good outdoor activity, under the front
portico.

·         The comments were in favor of this proposal, with the questions
noted above.

*Tower’s Foundation Medallions* – there were not any given out at Court at

*Baronial Trailer* *Budget $3500-$3950* Wood lining in process. The trailer
