Missed Muster and asked Belle to cover for me.  She did.

REEVE-
No written report. We have a lot of money.

HERALD:
Attended the February muster; heralded the heavy tourney and the 
children's boffer. I have been working on the new Baronial 
Herald's tabard. Received two name and device submissions from 
members of the populace.

MARSHAL: No apology, no report.

LISTS:
There was a four person tourney at the muster. Can?t remember 
who won.

A&S:
A&S now held concurently with Medieval Stuff Evening instead 
of a separate date. Open A&S this month.

Is anyone interested in having any specific classes at this tie? If 
so, I need to know what class you'd like to see. I also need 
volunteers to teach.

Baronial Anniverysary ? only one entrant for A&S Championship 
thus far. If you're interested in entering this year, you MUST have 
doco submitted at least 72 hours before the event. PLEASE 
contact me asap if you plan to enter the championship so I can 
arrange for appropriate judges.

Library books: $94.50 in baronial library fund. Hope to buy the 
outstanding issues of Compleat Anachronist that are missing from 
our library with this money. Motion to vote.



CHRONICLER:
FTT went out with stuff about St Kessog in. It would be good if 
we could get and older (00 or 02 version of Publisher)

CONSTABLE:
Nothing to report

WEBWRIGHT:
Usual updates, CF photos online, new http://kessog.sca.org.nz 
site upand running, and kessog@sca.org.nz mailing list -- 25 
people on itthus far, about half local.

Tried a wee experiment to increase FTT readership, seems to be 
working (March issue 60+ in first week out, compared to Feb's 45 
or so in same period).

QUARTERMASTER:
Received Back Baronial Belongings from CF. No Marshal?s 
Gear, which is with the Marshal.
Also received an extra box of Hire Garb and a red barrier- Sigurd 
and Eleanora?s?
Typed inventory and sent to Webwright.
Took First Aid box to incipient Chirurgeon, with the intention 
that he retains it.
Obtained four red oven pads to donate to the Barony.
ACTION: Vote held to approve $60 for hire garb holding plastic 
boxes- All in favour

ARCHERY CAPTAIN	
1. We've had archery practice twice in the last month with an 
attendance of 4-6 archers at each practice.

2.  Attended the Baronial Muster on February 26.  I brought along 
some archery equipment, and spoke with interested gentles 
regards archery and the SCA in general.

3.  Attended the inaugural event of the proto-College of St 
Kessog in Dunedin on March 5.  Spoke to people down there 
regards Archery activities in the society.  It sounds as if the 
College will be well equipped to run their own archery practices 
down in Dunedin: they have a gentle who is knowledgable about 
archery to run things (a former NZ junior champion, apparently), 
and a potential source of gear - Otago University had an archery 
club that is now defunct, leaving behind a significant supply of 
bows, arrows, etc, which St Kessog is hoping to be able to access 
for its own use...

4. In the process of constructing new target butts for the Barony's 
use (one down, at least two to go).  Currently taking donation of 
materials for construction, and doing an excellent job of sticking 
to budget (which is precisely $0.00).

5. We've scheduled an IKAC shoot for next practice (Sunday 
19/3).  Would like to see this become a monthly occurence, but 
will wait for feedback from the populace before acting on this.

Future Plans: Still need to set up targets for the Baronial Archery 
champion shoot at the Baronial Anniversary event this month.

B&B:
* Received much excellent feedback about CF, congrats to all 
concerned
* Attended St Kessog inaugural event, 25 people there, good set 
of officers appointed, expecting several at BA
* Discussions with various re: Festival logistics and alliances
* Ordered/paid for platters, now arrived
* Attended February muster, good turnout, especially new 
faces/ungarbed folk come for a look, boffer very popular
* Started Lochac boffer discussion group including current Heavy 
Deputy Marshal (his idea)
* Preparation for BA going well, getting letters of intent and also 
recommendations, need more of course
* Seamsters, singing

DEMO REQUESTS: A wedding in August, mentioned the fee, 
haven?t heard back

EVENT REPORTS:

CF:- No report as yet

FEBRUARY MUSTER:-We had a muster, it was fun.  There was 
a tourney and a boffer tourney.  They were good. In future, 
checking that the venue has toilets is recommended.

BA:- Planning is going well with disappointing bookings at this 
stage. Tourney and Boffers are under control. Daniel has offered 
to run a treasure hunt for children.

YULE:- 1st July, 1 week before coronation.  Theme: Yule on the 
Levant. $16 adults, $8 children.  Gavin?s bid Accepted.

BAL D? ARGENT:- We got the Bid! Thinking of changing dates 
to September 16/17.  With the tourney do we want to make this 
our quarterly event?  There was discussion re the use of the 
Laurel Fund for teachers, even for related classes such as music.  
WEA has four rooms so there can be class streams.

Meredith is scavenging for St Kessogs- garb, fabric, feast gear 
etc. Would like to hand it over at BA.

GENERAL BUSINESS
The Platters have arrived.  They are very nice.  

Serving utensils for High table are being hunted

Page Stuff is becoming more of an issue- stuff taking place at 
events almost needs a co-coordinator.

A CF Ticky box and hints for young players sheet would be nice.  
No one wants to do it.

Baronial Tokens and Awards- Should there be a physical 
representation for them? Is it appropriate?  It was intended to 
make badges at the start. Pins would be better.  
ACTION: Bastian to be asked to cast samples, discuss the cost of 
this with him, also that of enameling.
All in favour.

Feast kits for travelers- including an identifying list with each kit?
Labelled objects? The inestment would be mainly time.  Lost property could
be loaned to new comers ACTION:- Cat to make up a couple of sample bags as
an experiment

Meeting closed: 8.25 pm.
