From the Seneschal

I hope everyone had a good summer, and is having a good beginning of fall so far. Things have been quiet the past while, but there are a few things to be addressed. Policies and Procedures A change to the Baronial Policies and Procedures has been received for consideration at the November Curia. Proposal and text is as follows: Proposal to change Thescorre Policy and Procedure by adding the following under duties of Baronial Officers

1.3.15 Royal Chamberlain

? Serves as a deputy to the Exchequer (following Kingdom structure) ? Ensure the Crown and Their Heirs are invited to Thescorre events. ? Communicate with the Crown and Royal retainers on behalf of event autocrats and the Barony. ? Arrange for local retainers to the Royalty, as needed. ? Solicit and coordinate donations for Royal gift baskets and Royalty room comforts, as appropriate. ? Supervise the set up, serving and clearing of high table for feast. ? Supervise the acquisition, use and maintenance of Barony property specifically designated as Royal Regalia, including but not limited to: thrones, banners, table cloths and napkins, feast gear and serving items.

This proposal was read at the September business meeting. Discussion will be on the agenda at the October business meeting, with further discussion if necessary and a vote at the November Curia. Baronial Offices The following terms of office end on Jan. 1. Any person interested in applying for an office should fill out an application and get it to me. If an officer wishes to continue in the office, they should also fill out an application. The next term will extend to January of 2010 (that sounds very strange!). Applications are due by the November business meeting.

General News Our focus on recruitment issues is proceeding slowly, however, we are making some progress. We are investigating options so that the Barony can decide which of these to focus on, and we are working on updating the Baronial literature. We still need a bid for College of Three Ravens. Caradawc is working on one; everything is in place except a site. Speaking of sites, the time may be right to find another meeting site. Free would be nice, but may be improbable. Please let me know if you have any ideas. I believe Caradawc said he’d coordinate the effort, but I’d like to doublecheck with him before writing that in stone. Kingdom Events Having been approached lately regarding Thescorre’s place in the Kingdom event rotation, here’s the schedule as it applies to our Barony, which is in Region 4. Region 4 is in the rotation for
• Spring Crown 2008, preferred dates are the 1st or 2nd weekend in May, bids were due Oct. 1, 2007 • AE Summer Academy 2009, preferred date is the 3rd weekend in June, bids are due Nov. 1 2008 Coronations are not in the rotation, as their location is dependent on Their Highnesses’ preference, however just in case anybody from Thescorre might be considering it, • Spring Coronation 2008 bids are due by November 1, 2007 and • Fall Coronation 2008 bids are due by June 1, 2008

Because Spring Coronation 2008 bids are due in just a few weeks, I hope any Thescorre bids would be ready for Baronial consideration at the October business meeting on Oct. 16. But if they are not, this piece of business may be finalized on the Thescorre email list if necessary. Preliminary discussion may certainly take place on the Thescorre list.
