OFFICER REPORTS:
SENESCHAL:
Quiet month. Attended the April medieval stuff evening and the Festival
Victory Potluck dinner. Been in contact with St Kessog Seneschal about
their application to become an incipient College. However Avril has the
chicken pox at the moment, and so not much being done at the moment.

CHATELAINE:
Events Attended: none
Emails received from newcomers: none (the email seems to be working again)
Received some clothing from Sinech for hiregarb, this was passed onto Hera

REEVE-
****************************

HERALD:
Received return of Baronial Arm augmentation submission. There was a
slight technicality with the way the arms were drawn. Apparently our
current drawing interpretation of the arms do no match the official
registered arms. The registered arms have the laurel wreath only reaching
about half way up the tower. We have been using an image where the laurel
wreath completely encircles the tower. Note that this way looks a lot
better and Laurel suggest we change our device blazon to match the new
image.

MARSHAL: 
Nothing to report

LISTS:
Nothing to report

A&S:
Special A&S Class last month: Late Period Hairstyles hosted by Terese de
la Maunche. Reports are that it was a fun class. 

There is no A&S class for May but all are welcome to bring their projects
to the MSE as usual.

Heather will be teaching an inkle loom class in June. This will be
itable for everyone from beginners to the more advanced. Bring your
inkle loom and yarn if you've got it. All welcome - class will be held
during the June MSE.

In search of A&S Deputy. Interested parties please contact Catalina.

CHRONICLER:
**************************

CONSTABLE:
No apology, no report

WEBWRIGHT:
Usual updates, Chronicler has new software which makes FTT a smaller
download.

Still handling Kingdom website for the time being.

St Kessog are in the process of appointing their own webwright, have
supplied handover documentation for them.

QUARTERMASTER:
Have received back all equipment from BA.

Currently investigating missing serving spoons and ladles, it is believed
vuthat these may have become mixed with those in the kitchen at CF, and left
behind.

Leftover meat products from CF are no longer valid, and have been disposed
of.

I'm looking for enquiries of interest in taking over the position. 

ARCHERY CAPTAIN	

B&B:
