1/18/22 Virtual Business Meeting Minutes

The SCA Harassment and Bullying Policy was read by the Baronial Seneschal.

Baronial Seat-Aibhilin and Declan

·       A virtual Curia will be held on Sunday, 1/31 at 11:00am.

·       Coronation-the 2nd weekend in April in Staten Island.

·       Balfar’s Challenge is looking for a new site.

Seneschal-Drueta

·       Officers- please email Dru when you took office.

·       If your position is up and you’re interested in continuing in your position, you can submit a letter of intent to Dru. If you cannot or do not want to continue in your position that is understandable.

Exchequer-Katya

·       We have money.

·       I’m going to ask Creature to get the bank statements for me. After I get the bank statements I’ll get the year-end report in on time.

·       I’m still waiting for the Kingdom Exchequer to get back to me about opening a new account so that the correct signatories will have access to the account.   

Herald-Angus

·       Would like to continue as Herald, and will submit a letter of intent.

Knight Marshal-Sterling

·       Since our last meeting back in December — There has not been much fighter practice at all. The indoor site that we could have used was going to cost too much when the pricing was looked at as aw hole. Broken down it would have been 150.00 per Sunday. I have found other places, but they too were not free.

·       The best price I found was 40 per hour (120. Per day).  With the ongoing issues finding a place to use for a practice site during the cold months has posed to be difficult. If someone in the Barony has time, resources, and energy to find a place affordable.  Preferences in the location close to the middle-ish of the Barony. Not too far from a major roadway. High-ish ceiling.

·       In other news as you know in the last two weeks all in person gatherings were placed on hold. In following with my previous words this made not having a place to practice a bit easier to deal with. However, this Sunday the 16th, I am looking to do a video gathering. A round table per say of talking anything fighter/fencing related. What my hope is for people to pop in and ask questions to help others get answers. Possibly give ideas – in short, talk shop….
