January 2018 Meeting Notes
January Business Meeting
January 9th, 2018
Meeting opened at 8:00pm
OLD BUSINESS
Claritas Demo
Please contact me about participating. Claritas Academy in Byrn Mawr on January 30th.
Yule Postfactum
200 pre reg, 100 walk ins. We made a profit, about $1,800 because of walkins and feast under budget. There is a discussion about what accounting method we want to use going forward. Be watching for new proposed financial policies. There was a lot of lost and found, please contact Constable Kalin about missing stuff. He will bring it to Tavern, including last year’s lost and found.
Baronial Chancellor Minor has stepped down as of last meeting. There was one letter of intent submitted. If there are no other applicants there will be a vote for Rosie. She was voted in unanimously.
The Canton because of various problems (good problems), has asked for and been granted the ability to be dormant for two years. Not suspended but dormant, and can be reevaluated after two years. Action may be taken before then, and we are all for that, but until that happens, the Barony will be in charge of Tuesday night socials, and A&S nights. There are two thoughts on how to handle the Canton’s money, by either using it to pay for the social rental until they are out of money, or not using it up would be great though if it wants to get started up again. They are awaiting input from the Kingdom officers. Also, if the Canton is not doing a schola, we should get that money back from the site.
Business Meeting at Social
Should we look into renting another room for the barony meetings once a month? We should look into getting a price for that, and see how much it would be, as well as find out how much it costs to still have social, in relation to what donations cover. It is still preferred that it be the same night and location as social. This will be tabled until we can look at the numbers next month.
Bylaws Committee
Now that the holidays are over, and Martyn is better, there are several people interested in being part of the committee. He will be contacting them later this week to meet before the next meeting or March.
Yule 2018
The German Society has not given us the numbers yet for renting the site for this coming year, or sent a contract. So until then we cannot send this to the finance committee. We have found a professional cleaning crew willing to come in and clean the kitchens.
NEW BUSINESS
Does the barony want to continue the social? It was voted yes.
Does the barony want to freeze the canton funds at $1570 and have the barony take over the rental fee for social? Yes.
There are still some funds for several purposes that are in the baronial funds. The exchequer reminded us.
If you are thinking of coming to Tavern please pre-reg, as there is a hard cap. There are 42 in right now, so hurry and register! Bardic and gaming champion rules have been posted. There is an updated tavern menu. Get menu from cook. We do still need volunteers for clean up, including dish washers and trash takers during the day.
January 23 – Crafty Swap and Unwanted Present White Elephant Swap
This will try to be on seasonally.
A&S workshops that were weekly on Monday nights, they are being morphed into something new and different. There will be a monthly Sunday workshop that will be longer than the time we used to have. Starting this month on the 28th, with Muin doing enameling. In February it will be a bead making workshop, March will be silk banners, April C&I and scroll cases, May will be shoes, June Pennsic sweatshop. These will all be about 12 to 7pm.
Adelisa was hoping to run a drum workshop at social until Mudthaw in prep for the ME Mudthaw.
Third Tuesday music workshopping at social.
