be part of the procession to escort Jason into Court for his Knighting.

We are starting our planning for Seige of Talonvale.  They still owe us our
fees … protection money … scutage … from this past summer’s campaign. While
no one actually attacked them we did appear to defend…so…

*Announcements:*

Gregor says:  Knights Marshall position will be coming open by Pennsic.  This
post can be a step to finishing your marshal training. Gregor is now a full
status Marshal.

No practice on Sun Feb 14.  (Valentine’s Day) Practice resumes on Sunday
2/21.

Via Email Tuesday:  Baroness Geniveve Rose de Glendalough, Sub commander of
Target Archery for Pentamere

·         To enhance the *planned Pentamere archery presence out on the
Pennsic War archery field* *each Barony provide their Barony's device in
the form of a small flag* to be hung on the flag pole or tents under a
larger flag of the Pentamere Device. 12X12 inches and two sided. Silk is
possible.

·         She says, “This would serve as a rallying point each day for the
Archers of Pentamere, thus showing unity, leadership, companionship and
friendship, plus possibly put fear into the hearts of the other Kingdoms
archers.”

·         I am very interested in pursuing this idea. It might be a good
workshop to make a batch of similar or larger banners for the Barony to
use. Or people could paint baronial banners for their own pavillions. I
want that, myself. What do people think?

Kay has suggested to Aelfric, Kingdom Exchequer, that Cynnabar’s fall event
might be a good test for the coming *PayPal reservation and onsite credit
card procedure*.

·         We would need a “Reservationist” to receive the emails of
information sent by the Kingdom Deputy Exch. For PayPal, and add people to
our roster of paid reservations.

·         About 3 weeks before the event online reservations are closed,
and the Deputy sends us the list of reservations and a check for the gate
and feast fees, minus a set fee per transaction.  Aelfric estimates that at
around $.50 per PayPal transaction.

·         Stewards would need to plan and budget for this expense if they
want online reservation services
