*Upcoming Baronial Events and Demos*

Saline, MI Ceara is event steward. Budget $1000 1/18/16 CHANGE to $2500
(Final TBD). Break even 84 Adults. 1/18/16 CHANGE to 182 Adults

Site Change Planning was our main focus.

·         The Crown is coming.  St Paul’s Sanctuary and Michigan Avenue
Lobby (vigil space) are closed due to renovations.

·         Michigan League (lovely ballroom) was booked, as was Liberty
School.

·         The 1St United Methodist Church of Saline [1200 N Ann Arbor St,
Saline, MI 48176] may meet our need for increased space.  Ms Claire is
seeing it Tuesday for another organization and will let Ceara know if it
looks good to her expert eye.  Ceara will see the site and make a
reservation if it looks suitable.

·         Budget was Increased to cover site change: This site will cost us
more than St Paul’s Saline. Amount is unclear, between $950 and $2100,
depending on how the church charges for classrooms. Ceara will make the
best deal [possible.

·         St Paul’s fee, if the check is cashed, will be reassigned to St
Cecelia Event if church agrees.

·         Dinner Potluck was discussed. This may no longer be possible.

·         Schedule will have to change due to Their Majesties wishes for
Court. The Event team members present seem to be keeping the essentials
foremost in scheduling: class times and Ball times are most important.

·         Gate Fee Increase to cover costs? No.  Fee is up $1 dollar this
year.  Treasury is fat, this is a normal emergency situation for an event
and we can manage it

*St. Cecilia at the Tower (Sat April 30- Sun May 1, 2016)* St Paul United
Church of Christ, Saline, MI Mistress Jadwiga is event steward.  Budget
$400. Break even 67 Adults.

A few teachers have committed to come.  The website is up and beautiful.

Discussion of Donations and Non Member Surcharges:  Should St Cecelia have
a requested donation for site posted? Yes. If any NMS fees are required the
event will pay them from returns.  Organizers do not want to avoid the fee
by not posting a suggestion, and attendees like to know an amount.

*Search for Cynnabar Pursuivant** – Johannes has had some interest from
people he speaks to.  He is posting the search to the Barony and on

*Proposal:  Group Marshal for Archery in Cynnabar: Lady Godaeth Wisfaest*

Submitted Monday January 18, 2016 (A. S. L)

With the 2016 (A.S. L/LI) archery season on the horizon, enthusiasm is
building at Kingdom and Regional levels regarding expanded visibility for
target archery and greater opportunities for all of the Populace (at all
levels) to participate.  Never has there been a better time for the Barony
of Cynnabar to share in the glory!

--Cynnabar has relatively immediate access to a regionally-recognized,
*exclusively SCA* archery resource (Forester Dillon’s range);

--Cynnabar enjoys the active participation of local Foresters (primarily
Grey and Dillon, but also Padraig from Roaring Wastes, and Liges, Gerard,
and Erevon from Stormvale);

--Cynnabar has a store of archery equipment including a portable backdrop
and targets allowing archery to be staged at local demos etc.;  Foresters
Grey and Dillon have their own stores of well-maintained loaner archery
gear and are experienced beginner-friendly teachers and coaches;

--Many members of the Cynnabar Populace are at least casual archers and
many have their own archery gear;

--Cynnabar will celebrate the first year of its Baronial Archery Champion
as of April.

A Group Marshal for Archery would collaborate with the Baronial Champion
and local Foresters to encourage archery and archery skill improvement
among the Populace;  assume the SCA, Inc.-required administrative duties,
record and submit scores; coordinate notices of practices and archery
activities at SCA events; and “connect” the archers of the Barony to the
archers of Pentamere and our Kingdom.

I volunteer to be that person.

In Service,

Godaeth
