June 2012 Meeting Minutes

Page history last edited by Anne McKinney 11 years, 10 months ago

We met in the Federal Room (in the basement). The electric kiosk gave everyone the Blue Screen of Death, however, so getting the populace together took a little more effort than usual. Regardless, now we are here, and ready to "meet" properly! But on that note, we need to get everyone on the same page about the meeting start time...

 

Some of us are sweaty and non-productive; some of us are non-sweaty and being goofy on the internet.

 

  • Introductions in case of any newcomers: Welcome to recent Wurm Wald transplants from Swordcliff -- Genevieve, Rosalia, and Roland! Also, welcome back to Cindy!
  • Officer reports 
    • Seneschal
      • We still don't have an official autocrat lined up for Maidens, since we asked those people to put in a formal bid.
      • We still have a lot of leftover chicken from Crown Tourney that didn't get used up at Maidens, that's been taking up space in Katerina's freezer. They just moved last weekend, so the chicken was given to Their Royal Majesties for Their Royal Barbecue coming up next weekend.
      • If anyone wants to throw a party for the shire, feel free to let the group know and we will move the Maidens chicken -- which is still at Aleator's -- to you.
      • Everyone is invited to Aleator's Saturday evening for a backyard bonfire...especially if you will eat chicken.
    • Exchequer
      • Our bank has now transferred to First Financial (was Marine bank). We still need to have new official people sign cards. Aleator can find it at 1205 S. Neil and ask for Kyla Popwell to be added as a signatory. We may need to have Amanda and Sofya go along so they don't think we're embezzling.
      • We also have a form to have the Kingdom Exch. added as a signatory, since we haven't gotten the regional to follow through on that.
      • Statement from Maidens that Roana handed over at the last meeting has finally made its way to Amanda for a check to be written.
      • we have $2,732.78 in our account, not including what's in the RSO account.
      • Genevieve is willing to be the deputy exchequer because numbers do not frighten her, nor is she afraid of Excel spreadsheets.
    • MOAS
      • Change of Officer form submitted to Kingdom; need address for Regional.
      • New monthly challenge! This started at the last A&S meeting. Complete one new item for your SCA kit by the next A&S meeting.
        • Sofya's rubakha-style chemises of bad costumery
        • Champaign Surplus has a surplus of bizarre, weird-looking crushed velvet things that fit nobody
      • Next challenge for July? "Fix something! Find a project you've screwed up and figure out what you need to do to make it workable."
      • Is it possible to have too many colanders?
    • Marshal
      • Combat practices going on Thursday evenings after folks meet at 5:30 for dinner; fighting at 6:00 on the quad outside the Illini Union
      • Archery: when we have an enthusiastic archery marshall, there is a place to shoot in Urbana. Otherwise, it's Aleator's backyard in Mahomet. Let him know if you want to go over and shoot things without spending money.
    • Pursuivant
      • Heraldry Night - Durio and Tomaris sat and stared at each other, then made plans for Pursuivant's office.
      • Cindy is interested in Heraldry. Can Bran dig up the list of books that he used to recommend?
      • Our wiki has a heraldry page that might help.
      • Tomaris is willing to be our new Pursuivant!
  • Old Business 
    • RSO group
      • Sofya still needs to take a quiz before we can request rooms, and send Amanda the email they sent me.
      • Anyone in WurmWald who has an @illinois.edu can join our RSO! it's The Society for Creative Anachronism.
    • When do shire meetings begin nowadays?  7:00 until the weather gets cold. Then 7:30 would give the fighters more time to move from one place to another.
    • Amanda - no progress on scheduling a demo with the Urbana Free Library.
  • New Business 
    • Aleator and Sofya will work on a bid for Maidens in time for next month.
    • Shuffling of Shire Shtuff
      • Roana has stuff that needs to leave her house
      • Sofya has stuff that needs to leave her basement, too.
      • Aleator has feast-o-stuff, willing to store it for now, and get stuff from Roana and Sofya, too -- though we need to move them into smaller bins 
      • New shire vote: 6-month limit to storing lost & found stuff, then donating the leftovers to raise money for the shire. 
      • Lost & found box from Maidens - can be auctioned off in mid-July.
    • Potential new member from Aethelmarc coming to town next week; interested in meeting local populace Tuesday or Wednesday
      • Sofya, Cindy, Aleator, Genevieve, potentially others willing to meet
