Posted on October 9, 2024 By Ellyn Grene

Old Business

Baronial Polling

The Seneschal received a letter yesterday evening from the crown, and read it aloud to the populace at the meeting:

Greetings to Lady Margarette le Gantiere, Seneschal of the Barony of Bhakail, and Baron Thomas of Effingham, OD, Seneschal of the East Kingdom,

We have received the results of the Baronial Polling for the Barony of Bhakail, and after discussion we have made the decision to invest Master Mikael Melrakki, OP, as Baron for an initial term as prescribed by East Kingdom Law.

Warmly,
Queen Fiamuin and King Matthew
Crowns of the East Kingdom

The Seneschal has communicated to the Crowns that investiture is preferred to be held during Bhakail Yule on December 14, 2024. 

A motion was passed to officially congratulate Mikael from the populace of Bhakail, and to thank Ian and Triona for stepping forward and participating as candidates.

Webminister

The position of westminster was announced as open at the September business meeting. Mael Eoin mac Echuid has submitted a letter of intent for the position. A vote was held to approve him as the webminster, which passed.

With the investiture being official, discussion was had about any special plans that must be made for Yule. Martyn reported that planning is going well. If anyone would like to volunteer, particularly for setup or breakdown, email yule@bhakail.eastkingdom.org. A substantial dayboard will be provided with a Persian theme. If you have any other questions or comments about the event, please reach out to Martyn at 181171@members.eastkingdom.org.

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.
