Wednesday June 22, 2005Present: Lord William Graham, Lady Eleanora the Tilemaker, Lord Corwyn, Lord Bilgisayar, Lord Deiniol, Lady Suba. Finance Committee The finance committe met before the meeting and approved Lord William's request to purchase a zip code map on behalf of the Canton. The expense is expected to be under $10. Digital map cost $80 two years ago. Canton Meeting Meeting called to order at 7:43 pm Officer’s reports: Seneschal Good evening and welcome to the hot month of June. No nominations for Chronicler at this time, I will leave this position open at this time, since our current officers have sufficient work. Zip Code Problems: According to the records of the Kingdom Senechalate, our Ridley park zipcode has been orphaned and is no longer connected to the rest of the canton. This may have occurred due to the Post Office adding a zip code. We will need to add enough zipcodes to reconnect it. Lord William will do some research with Oli and sort this out. Duncan, the Southern Region Seneschal recommends that we leave a corridor between the two parts of Bhakail that are not the canton. Our original paperwork did include this. If this changed for whatever reason and we really are separated, we will remove some zip codes to make the non-Canton portions of the Barony contiguous. Duncan says this would be better to have in place in the event we ever break off from the Barony. For our demos, we have been requested by Kingdom to not hold "Whack-a-Knight" activities. At this time, only SCA-warranted individuals may swing weapons. Baronial Commons is this Sunday June 26th. Please attend! Of us, who is going to Southern Regional War Camp? If you are camping with the Barony and/or participating in the potluck, please let Lorcan know immediately, and also please pre-reg with Eisenthal with the Barony Bhakail designation. If you are pre-registered to camp with Bhakail, please make sure your tent information has gotten to Bilgisayar, who will forward it to the other camp masters. Congratulations to Suba who was officially inducted into the Baron's household at Fishy. Congrats to Asbjorn who is Queen's Champion. Congratulations to Gavan for becoming Queen's A&S champion for his research on Sugar. Exchequer Our last reported balance for the Canton was $1107.46 from April 2005. Since then we have done the following: We received an additional $266.00 for registrations for Brew U (the April
report indicated $90 had already been received). The final report for Brew U indicates that we made a profit of $60.66 - congratulations to the Autocrats, Lord William and Lord Bilgisayar! In May we received $7.00 from Corwyn’s chain-mail fundraiser at the Middletown Pride Day Demo. In June we approved and disbursed $17.95 to Elenora the Tilemaker for the hospitality supplies for events (asprin, tums, band-aids, safety pins, etc). Assuming I had the correct opening balance, our current balance should be $1067.17. Be aware that although our event broke even and actually showed a net profit that we are losing money this year due to capital expenditures. This is okay for this year, but let's not make it a general trend. It's very useful to have a cushion of money that allows us to make outlays for events in advance of receiving registrations. Poles/ropes and stakes will be made over the 4th of July weekend by Bilgisayar. Donations are still needed for poles/rope/stake sets, which are $12 each, we need 8 donations. Humbly submitted by Suba al-Hadid, Exchequer Chatelaine The May 31st Demo at Media Elementary was a success – the children and their parents enjoyed the dancing that we did.
We have two more new people who signed up for our e-mail list, shyphillyguy and jipsyleo1967. Our new friend shyphillyguy is interested in Pennsic, and if I understand it right he may be joining us there. Our two new members from last month are still active. Somebody we met at Williamson turned up at Landsknecht and appeared to enjoy We have the following demos scheduled:
The libraries are looking forward to this very much! Please come to as many as you can. Herald Nothing new since last time; did work at Alles Faire heralds' point and started work on a device for Elenora (her name was lost and Istvan will find out what happened to her name submission - it has been over three years). Baron Ernst announced that anyone interested in voice heraldry or research heraldry, he'll be happy to coach people in real-time at events. Mistress of Arts and Sciences We did a really nifty MOAS report - our canton is really active. Tuesday's Garb workshop is in progress. If you need Garb this is a great resource - you'll get hands-on help. We have projects in progress for gifts to the crown at SRWP. We are making aprons for Runnymede. Dance Practice on 3rd and 4th Mondays in June and July. July 11th is the next Bardic Circle - to get directions RSVP to Tristan via e-mail. We had some performances for tuning, a jam session. It's a great place to go to ge help becoming a better bard. This is a non-intimidating place to grow. Brewer's Guild meeting 2nd wednesday at Mike Wolffauer's house. Brewing is fast and furious in preparation for Pennsic. A&S night is still 3rd wednesday. Dancing in the Canton: we have secured the community room of the Middletown Free Library for dance practice from 7pm- 8:30pm on Monday nights in June and July, except for July 4th. Come on out and socialize even if you don't dance. We'll be doing kid-friendly dances so that children can participate, no dance experience is required. Suba is looking for a teacher and can teach several dances herself. Dates are June 6, 20, & 27 and July 18 & 25. Webmistress Have not yet updated the Canton’s newly-registered name on the website. Will do this shortly. Herald is not sure if approved version of the name is spelled Feorag or Feoragh - since the approval message included both spellings. We'll get the 'H' out of there for now, and change it later if it turns out we need it. Created web pages for the Dance practice and Bardic Circle. Reactivated the Thrown Weapons page. Posted demo dates on the website; intend to add a page for Demo details this month. Exchequer has been updated on the Officers’ page. Need to update Chronicler. Martial Activities We support our area practices - Lord Darmyn's practice on Thursday, Caer Adamant is Thursdays (slow) and Sundays (full metal).

Fencing is Thursday nights in Bhakail. Thrown Weapons continue Thursdays 6:30-dusk at Deiniol's house. Archery - We have a possibility of practice space at DCFS. Canton likes the idea and asks us to move ahead. Archery is Tuesday nights in Caer Adamant (except 3rd Tuesdays) and 2nd and 4th Sundays at Padraig's house in Middletown Delaware (about an hour's drive).
