Cynnabar Baronial Meeting May 15th, 2025 - at 7:00 pm - 11 in attendance

Announcements:

   -

   Target archery should be starting up soon. For it to be an official SCA
   practice,  covered by SCA insurance,  it needs to have an MiC , and needs
   to be sponsored by a group,  meaning the seneschal needs to know,  and it
   needs to be advertised somewhere ( newsletter,  web page,  Facebook group,
   etc).
   -

      Porta-John will be back in June (cost covered by attendees)
