Additional Officer Reports
Exchequer – Lord Martyn de Halliwell
Martyn will soon be looking for new members of the financial committee. If you are interested in volunteering to be on the committee or in learning more, please contact Martyn at 181171@members.eastkingdom.org.
A bid was submitted to the financial committee for Yule and was accepted.
Chamberlain – Baroness Ysmay de Lynn
The great reorganizing project of Bhakail stuff has been on hold for the summer, but should resume this fall. The Barony was able to consolidate more of its gold key and give it to the chatelain, who was able to add some pieces to the sale at Champions and Commons.
The event stewards of Champions and Commons were able to access the goods they needed for the event.
The efforts everyone is making to have the Baronal goods more useable is bearing fruit, and it should get better in the future.
Minister of the List – Honorable Lord Bryan mac Dhughaill an Boghadair
I have sent my report for Commons. I would like to thank Mistress Lu An-Hua for guiding me through my first tournament. I learned a lot and am ready for the next one.
