*New Business  *

Request for $20 to stock clipboards, a new stamp pad, and pens.  This will
speed up the waivers process at Celtic Festival Archery Range, and be
useful for all Gates in the future

·         Discussion concluded that this was a suitable request and amount
to qualify for a one meeting confirmation, as cited in the Financial Policy.

·         The entire group brainstormed possible reasonable objections to
the idea and found none.

·         Clipboards are on sale for $1.00 each.

·         The last stamp pad was depleted.  Why a stamp pad?  To stamp
archer’s hands so they may return to the line and shoot again without
filling out a second waiver.

·         Kay has many pens at home and will gift the Barony with 2 dozen
or more at the first June meeting, to save money for clipboards.

*Activity, Event & Demo Reports *

*Battle of the Inland Seas: *Kasha:  “Our Armed Forces looked good at
Battle of the Inland Seas!”  Tairdelbach:  “They WERE good!”  Ermenrich :
“The whole event was good, even with the cold and hail pattering on my
helm”

*Other remarks:  *

Cynnabar executed maneuvers well.  “At Lay-on, we charge!”

Killing combat archers was a priority.

Amelia authorized in rapier at the event, and was praised to the Baron by
other fencers, including Masters of Defense.

*The Medieval Conference at Kalamazoo*, reported by Daye:  Saw many SCA
scholars.  Attended 6 sessions. Favorite thing? Illuminated pages offered
by a merchant, Pirages Fine Books, www.priages.com  Wonderful to see,. but
very expensive. A lady had modern shoes from the Netherlands that looked
medieval! There was a Game of Thrones panel.

 *Beware:  Crown Tournament and Kingdom A & S* is on the same weekend as
the Indianapolis 500.  Hotel rooms are very expensive.  From Lady Daye
