To that end, the Barony will need another 4 or more volunteers to help with the archery in order to make it happen. Please keep that in mind as winter turns to spring and then the demo is fast approaching. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>A request was made to use the Baronial archery backstop at Battle of the Inland Seas.

As this equipment was bought to be used, and we do not have any conflicting Baronial need for this, it was agreed to support Battle of the Inland Seas event by lending the backstop (to be transported, used and returned by our Forrester Grey).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><u><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Announcements<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Forrester Grey – Looking for a refrigerator or stove box and an old bathroom fan.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Winterfest demo is tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Looking for fabric, linen and/or wool donations for making Gold Key donations.
