Barony of Madrone Curia July 24, 2018
Baronial Welcome (B&B)
Peasants was a great event. Visitors from Caid brought gifts for the B&B which were duly delivered by their excellencies Peasanty cousins.
Ysolt & Rotrude received Jambes at Athenaeum
An Tir/ West war was a mostly lovely event despite the tragedy that occurred. In light of that tragedy, His Majesty has decreed that all (non urban?) events need to have a gate hand out with info about how to contact emergency services.
Coronation was lovely but hot. There were snow cones.

Misc discussions:
- 1 Seargeantry Candidate. Need to discuss how to re-invigorate the Sergeantry.
- Next year’s events. If we book things on the same dates we will have another extremely busy summer. Populace in the room indicate that they will support making all those events happen.
Demos early in the season are good for having follow-up events to invite them to.
