Also discussed is if giving that vagueness, will or can it lead to abuse?

The budget is for $6000 which covers 2 days’ worth of site rental and other miscellaneous items. Past attendance figures has the budget breaking even or even making some. Low attendance could see us losing some money, but it didn’t seem that big a concern to the people at the meeting. Please note, we need to split the profits, with Kingdom. So if we don’t make any profit, we don’t split anything.

The current Cynnabar Sponsored archery practice will stop. And the weekly archery at Dillon’s will then become a private practice, not sponsored or support by Cynnabar. Also a note of clarification: If archery is an “official SCA sponsored” practice, then the practice must have roster waiver signed or blue cards shown by participants. This is due to archery is considered a marshal activity and therefore waivers are required. This is a clarification from the previous reading of “combat” practices.
