Lord Nial opened the meeting with a note from the Marche of Gwyntarian thanking us for our help with the Ohio Mart Demo. Several Cleftlanders attended and were a big help with their annual demo including: Alda, Pietro, Timothy, Kathryn verch Rhys, Gladius, Jackie, Mathais and Vincent. If she forgot her name, it's not intentional. Thank you all!

Events:

Note: There will be the Regional Rapier Championship at Red Dragon

Coming up faster than you might think: The January Event. January 25th, Snowden and Maria Vincentte are autocrats. Angharad is troll. Think of how you want to volunteer, a lot of help is needed for setup and tear down!

DEMOS:

Darius again thanked everyone who attended OhioMart and extended his personal thanks to Nial and Lady Alex who have attended a lot of small day demos recently. Hoobah!

The Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital Demo is still being planned for February. The Needleworker's guild has three bags of fabric, two bags of stuffing and a bunch of patterns if you'd like to make a stuffed animal or toy for the kids. See Madelaine. Also Peredur is looking for help with the puppet show.

SCA Buisness:

Tonight we have a third room, it is across the courtyard, has plenty of shelves and a nice wooden floor. With this third room it's important to remember to pay your tithe, $1 from everyone, $2 from combatants. Nial is looking in to getting our main room full time, it looks like there have been changes in the insurance policy for the building (ie: they're more willing to accept the policy we have). If you have opinions about having three rooms, having two, having one permanently, etc. Please let Nial know.

myfanwy's looking for someone going to Crown Tourney to make a delivery for her.

There are new Heirs of Northshield, Leif Haakonson and Astrid of the Yellow Rose, hoobah!

Armourer's guild is meeting as usual on Thursday nights at Eldred's and thanks to a generous donation of tools from Eldred, they are now doing more metalworking with forges set up. Even if you are not working on armour, there are tools and expertise to be had. See Timothy for details.

Brewers, Nial has a source for Rose Oil, it's pricy but a small bottle will make a lot of cordial. See Nial for details. Also his honey source fell through, he's purchasing comercial honey from Sam's Club which will work though has a slightly different flavor. If you need honey for brewing mead soon, try a comercial source. Also remember the Brewers do also brew non-alcoholic beverages such as sodas and root beers.

From the Baron and Baroness:

It's been an unusual six months and no matter how you may feel about the outcome most of us can agree there were problems with the process. Ephraim and Madelaine are drafting a letter to the Kingdom Seneschal about these problems and things they would like never to be allowed to happen again and strongly sugest that anyone else who is unhappy with the way things were handled do so as well. The more voices are heard the more credibility is lent to each voice. Make your opinions known, if only one or two people complain the Kingdom officers will assume they are the exception, not the rule and all is well. If you want change, let them know, if you don't want change let them know as well. Ephraim and Madelaine are also interested in any thoughts or opinions you would like to share with them about this.

Reported as faithfully as I am able,
In service,
Milesent
