Barony of Madrone Curia September 25, 2018
Baronial Welcome (B&B) – Hi. Thanks for coming. Something about lost skills. September Crown was beautiful. Alianora was offered a Pelican. Edward the Stuffy got a Lion’s Strength, and Edward the Fluffy. Baroness made a peer’s statement on inclusiveness Eden wrote a great statement on inclusiveness in the Barony. The Baroness shared that with the Noble Estate, with permission to adapt to local use. AnneMary needs to know that event copy is not required. We are excited about the Emprise. We are impressed with the work by the team to adapt to the site change. We still want to have next year’s in Cle Elum.
They need more award recommendations. Check to see if your recommendation is already there. Check your own listing. Once the Kingdom site is updated, we should set the kingdom OP as the ultimate source of updated OP info. Court will be Royal at Emprise.

Canton of Porte de l’Eau (HL Christopher Hawkins) – Once a month A&S gathering in Libraries. We folded napkins for Banquet this month. Meetings are now the third Tuesday of every month in this same room.
Reports from Guilds, Officers, Subgroups Guilds:
Culinary (Mistress Ysolt of Wind Hill) – Given by Eden. Guildhead is in Hobbiton without us. She got her officer report in first. Guild is preparing for Banquet. Research is for A&S next year. Meeting is on the third. Cooking on the 6th, where we are doing the fourth course to test. Apricots are popular. Many projects happening all at once. There will be cake for this weekend.
Dance (HL Ranulf/Toivo) Ongoing: 2nd Mondays – written reports
Equestrian (Master Guillaume) – They are busy. Kerije has reached compulsive list-making. There will be a small tent for the judges. This will be Emprise light
Arts & Sciences (HE Aeron Corrino) – If you want to teach costuming at Collegium, contact Aaron. There is one easy form on the website. Handouts may be taken into October. For Baronial A&S, Aaron will bid to be Event Steward. He wants to skip the single-period theme for the championship. B&B accept that. Turkish may be in our future in some form
Armored Combat Marshal (Lord Nicklass for Sir Athos Belisarios) – Turnout at practice excellent. Heavy and Rapier Sold some unused pieces to get money for loaner armor sets.
Chamberlain (Baron Steven Desjardin) – Stuff is going in and out of storage. That is working well. Texts send codes. Do we want to organize the unit with storage labels? A box of Bunstable stuff, and we will hold it in storage. Pavilion is not being used after Emprise this year. Tabards may go to Baroness’ War. Gera will be redoing pavilions ropes at some point.
Chatelaine (Helewisa)
Chronicler (Lord Nicklaβ Volkheart) – Back copies of meeting minutes are posted now.
Herald (Lord Simon Fisc) – Preparing for Emprise. A couple of consults
Branch & Rapier Marshal (Gallant Katryne MacKim)
Scribe (HL Madelena al Vieri) – Preparing for Emprise. Work is on track. There are new charters to paint. Sara is holding West Seattle painting nights. She may hold one more central before Banquet.
Webster (Gera) – Meeting location not correct. Please remind Gera of all outdated info you find. Trying to sync event info on all platforms. Kingdom website updates are still very difficult, but a new version is coming. There is pressure from Kingdom to move us to AnTir.org website. The new site will be more functional, so that may be a good idea then. But not earlier. Try to extend current contract for 6 months. Wester & chronicler (newsletter & announcements) & Social Media Deputy are being shared between Gera & Nick, with some help from Rowenna. W will need a warranted Social Media Deputy. Gera is warranted Webster. Nick is Chronicler. Gera may need to be Social Media Deputy. Rowenna may be the Webster in the future, if interested.
