Officer’s reports

Seneschal

This is it (waves packet), needing only one thing to be mailed - proof of residency of all the officers (have all except one).

I have been contacted by the autocrat of East Kingdom War Camp - they need help with setup, dayboard, cleanup. I will be there as the Chirurgeon in Charge.

Exchequer

We have spent $770.54 so far on Investiture and have taken in $332 so far. As of a week ago there were 21 people pre-registered, which is about the expected amount at that time.

Chatelaine

Bhakail has a new fighters - one of Robin's co-workers has so completely been hooked that he's already been offered membership in Bloodguard.
We have several dancers who have been joining us on a regular basis as well.

MOAS

We have A&S nights on 1st and 3rd thursdays 7pm - 10pm at Lady Elenora's. We are almost done lost-wax casting, and next we're moving to forming (bending metal).

The Blue Tyger badges are awaiting the mold that Elenora has made.

If you want to play in the wood shop give Robin a call and set up a time.

Bhakail Garb workshops are now part of thrown weapons practice every other wednesday at the Potes' house (2nd and 4th?). Muin is planning to attend and bring crafty stuff that dovetails into garb. Be aware that we have attendees with allergies to citronella.

The last monday dance practice for the paring will be this coming monday June 16th. After that practices are moving to the Middletown Library on Tuesday nights (excepting July 15th and the first two weeks in August

Event Committees

Bhakail Investiture

Sign up for the bhakail_investiture yahoogroup to get more information. Chamberlain of Bhakail petitioning the use of the coolers and shade fly for Investiture. So granted. Ice Chests or bukkits needed for Investiture for cooling water bottles. Everyone should be aware that the first Royal Court will be at 11am, so if you want to be present, arrive comfortably before that time.
It is with great pleasure that I remind you that Bhakail will shortly be celebrating the Investiture of a new Baron and Baroness while we gratefully thank our outgoing Baron and Baroness who have done so \much during their baronetcy. Details of the celebrations can be found here: http://www.feoragdubh.eastkingdom.org/Investiture2008.php . This momentous occasion will take place on the 28th day of June in the current year [AS 40? AS 41?].
One detail in particular stands out that attendees will want to know:
***The first Royal Court of the day will be at 11am***.
In order to be present when Lorcan and Scheherazade accept the thanks of a grateful populace and Darmon and Sabine are invested in their new rank by Their Royal Majesties, you will want to arrive comfortably in advance of this time.
We are very fortunate to have heard from many former Bhakailis who are traveling from far away to be present, so this event is occasioning a reunion of sorts as well. In order to be sure you get a place at the feast table (capped at 100 seats) and at the very least to avoid the at-the-door surcharge, I strongly encourage everyone to pre-register now if you have not already.
A side note: our lavish dayboard calls for the dignity of proper feast gear, so a dishwashing station will be provided and refreshed at several points during the afternoon and again in the evening after feast. This will also help keep the hills and valleys of Bhakail green for generations to come and will additionally beautify our event.

Old Business

Tiphane. - Medieval golf - progressing.

New Business

No new business.

Comments for the Good of the Canton

Pennsic Pre-reg closes June 15 (in three days)

The seneschal recognizes the service nature of the members of the canton - two of the four active Pelicans in Bhakail are within our borders. As we continue in our normal routines, this will naturally increase.

The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 7:30pm at Middletown Free Library.

Meeting adjourned at 8:30pm Shannon motion, Muin second.
