Meeting called to order at 7:42 pm Officer’s reports: Seneschal How's everybody doing? Good Pennsic? Wet Pennsic. It's been a great year - learned a lot bout self and others. Next year will be more hands-on from me. To move things forward. We will continue to do things as well as we always have. New deputy Seneschal: William Graham. Work has begun on Beltaine Brew & Brawl '05, volunteers are needed, see Lady Melodie to volunteer. Need to re-open the Beltaine special committee under new business. We are close to having an indoor fencing site - paper work is almost squared away. Aynthing that needs to be signed I must address in order to make it legally binding. Rumors of a fighting site in Delaware are true but things are NOT final. Official talks with Marietta and Alain about getting the site in Delaware. Nothing from Marietta has officially sanctioned this practice. Make sure you sign waivers and everything else if you go; go ahead and enjoy. Considered joint between the Canton and Caer Adamant. Would be a thursday night practice. Not going to sanction anything official until we discuss it here (canton meeting). Attended Southern Region Seneschals' Meeting at pennsic with Duncan, the Southern Region Seneschal). Waiver lists and forms for all marshalled activities must be kept.. Not to resemble a mailing list - just names and card numbers; marshal in charge must keep the record for a year. Geoffrey is aware of the necessary paperwork; once we get a ppublished practice site the seneschal will get copies of all that paperwork. S. Reg. Seneschals Meeting part II - forming stricter laws to cover holes in EK law. As a canton we do not have the power to enact our own laws. If there is something we are not happy with and there is a hole in EK law or baronial law, must go to Bilgisayar (Baronial Seneschal) and get it put before the bylaws committee. If there are any problems or concerns, please let me know - Duncan has requested that we flood him with problems or concerns - not guaranteed an answer in a timely fashion. Beltaine has ben submitted as an annual event. Don't know that's going to go since we've only been going a year. This is to give us prioroty in the scheduling. Steps are being taken to make sure that annual events within the southern region don't step on each other, since calendar has been such an issue lately. Beltaine has been listed; either the first weekend in may or the last weekend in April. Still doesn't guarantee that we won't get stepped on by crown. This has been my first year as Seneschal and it has been enjoyable and a large learning experience. In this coming year you will see a much more hands-on seneschal as opposed to passive leadership that I am used to. Let's make the coming year a good one and move on in our endeavor. Exchequer Wen t to an exchequer's meeting at Pennsic. SCA exchequer has a group . Gave the rules for recording for cantons or guilds. There's a whole sheet here. If the canton does not have its own bank account as of the issuing of the ruling then they're not going to get one and we'll keep our funds with the barony and the funds will be marked as ours; the barony then reports our funds with theirs. Income to date: $4767.00 Oru expenses $3589.25 Balance: $1177.75 in the dedicated fund portion of the canton. Keegan needs to submit approx $30 receipt for pilings for gate which we donated to the baronial encampment. Chatelaine Nothing new to report. Got an email from a new person. Have to check if we responded. Tony and Anne have joined us tonight. Baronial website has an engine for new people to enter interests and it generates e-mails to the appropriate people. Lady Phialdelphia asked if anyone is available tomorrow and/or the 20th; need people to sit at table and do A&S and recruit students. Noon-4. Interested, e-mail lady Philadelphia. Intro to Pennsic DVD 1 hour version and 15 min version available from Deiniol Mistress of Arts and Sciences Looking into making kingdom award favors. See www.dragonbear.com for crosstitch patterns.

If anyone is interested in running it, speak up. Domesday book - need copies of scrolls. Get color copies of awards for next month. Brewer's meeting this wednesday; guild elections at Michael and Amy knauer's house in norristown. Garb workshops? None at this time. Rashid is in NJ. Possibly might start something in the barony.

Herald's night potential workshop. Deiniol. Banner-making workshop - Pennants too. Saturday sounds good - early afternoon. Planning underway. Marshal of Fence We are working on a site - William instrumental in working on a spot in bethel township in a grade-school cafeteria. This is premature but: the school has approved us for tuesday nights - the disctrict has to get approval and let us know if there will be a cost. Once we find out we can consider what we'll do. Iron bog has a $2 surcharge as do many other proactices. Or we could do some easy fundraiser. Prefer very much for it to be free. Parking is great; nice area. School is brand-new. Insurance has been taken care of. Mini practice on Tuesday in a little park in Ridley park. Once we have an official site we'll announce official practices. Katrine has been working with fencers in the Kingdom of Atlantia. They have a melee practice pre kingdom crusades about 45 minutes from ridley park. $5 per carload.

If using this site need to have canton bless the (note may of '06 is 40th anniversary of SCA) Would be winter '05-'06. Militia members are instrumental in working on this.
