New Business

Distant Shore Baronial War Camp was to be held at the Foxworthy site on the 26-28 of June but there is a scheduling conflict with the Bloody Bridge Battle event in Sussex New Brunswick. The autocrat of the event offered to hold the Baronial War Camp in conjunction with the event. This is not acceptable to the curia. The Baron will make a plea to all fighters to attend this event. It was discussed by the Baron of Ruantallan and the autocrat & marshal in charge of the BBB to have meetings to arrange this event before the actual announcement of said event in the future. The event will be held on the 1st - 3rd weekend of August for this year only. Motion on the floor by Mistress Bess Darnley " Slate the Canada Day Weekend as a Baronial Camping Event date." Seconded by Colin. Passed unanimously. Prices set for the event are $35.00/family $12.00/person. NMS in affect.

Ivan would like to see a proviso stating that any members of curia who miss 3 meetings in a row be asked to step down from their position. Ivan mentioned the need to start recruiting people to take over as replacements for those of us stepping down. Ivan brought up the subject of the mandatory attendance by the seneschal at events. There should not be a site fee for the Seneschal, only the feast fee as the seneschal is REQUIRED to be at all OFFICIAL events.
