A few corrections to the Throne topic...<br><br>His Excellency Gregoire offered us some thoughts on how the current thrones might be modified temporarily, in case viable options for replacements are not found.<br><br>We have also been in contact with a couple different out of Barony woodworkers. One in particular Baron Conal O'hAirt who lives in the Barony of the Flame makes a nice foldable version of the Glastonbury chairs, which could be made to include the painted escutcheons from the current thrones. He does not have current wood costs, but estimated around $200 - $300 per chair in Red Oak.<br>
<br>Baron Conal does not do carving, but Sir RanthulfR offered to try to contact some people he knows who do chip carving to see what it may cost to add that to the chairs.<br><br>We do remain interested in hearing any thoughts that people have on this topic as we would like to involve as many people in the Barony as possible.<br>
<br>Thank you,<br><br>Tairdelbach<br clear="all"><br>They deem me mad for I will not sell my days for gold; I deem them mad for they think my days have a price.<br>-- Kahlil Gibran<br>

<br> <br> <br> <br><font size="5">NEW</font><br> <br> <br><font style="font-size: 12pt;" size="3"><i><u>Loaner Swords</u></i></font><br>Lord Arnold proposed that the group purchase at least one, preferably two new loaner swords. One rapier is 43" long for melee, the other is 37" long for standard fencing . Both are $95.00-on sale. With shipping it would cost about approximately $115 each.<br>
<br>Right now the Barony owns one adult sword. The rest are the adult swords are the personal property of Lord Arnold. Since we have a growing community of fencers he feels that this new equipment would be helpful. More discussion to follow.<br>
