Exchequer Report (Keldra)
- not much money in our coffers
- Confed hats are available [see them HERE] for $17 each. 1/2 of this is the cost of the hats, and 1/2 goes into our houshold funds.
- Siearra also has some t-shirts available that were undamaged. They are $10 for S-M-L, and $15 for XL, etc. [You can see them HERE.]
- no business from the orders
1. Barony Wars
- Booty was collected today and passed about the meeting - mead & cookies
- Our fighters got a lot of compliments today, so be proud!
- Bonus booty was given to Aindreas for winning the Archery Point, Jeffrey for running the unit on the field, Eamonn & Beathan for being badasses on the field, and to Deirdre for her first fencing event - Vivats to all!
- We looked damn pretty in all of our blue & gold, and were easily identifiable as Confed, and that was great. Siearra even overheard Duke Timothy saying "Ya know, I hate those blue & gold fuckers!" - well done, Confed!
- Let's continue doing more of the same, and step it up a notch with our look on the field for this war. You don't need to have the household device on everything, but when we are fighting as a unit at this war, it is strongly encouraged that we all wear our household colors on the field!! If you are fighting singles or other battles, by all means, sport your own colors and devices, but lets have our unit look like a unit!!
- Deirdre was belted by Doughal, as she is now a fencer and part of the fighting unit of the Mountain Confederation. The belt she was given belonged to Cormac, was passed on to Angus, and then to Siearra from both Cormac & Angus. Deirdre then said the words like she had a pair! (Eamonn clarified that having a pair can be regarded as either testials or chesticals, for those in doubt.)
- Deirdre introduced friend Andreas, who is a fencing martial and who has fought with confed, and his daughter.
- Get her articles for the pre-Pennsic issue. If your names are on the email she sent out, make sure you send her something. Do not make her hunt you down. It's really not as fun as it sounds.
- Anyone who might have anything especially pertinent to Pennsic, please submit asap, including any articles safety, rules changes, parties, etc.
- Sophie will be doing post-Pennsic issue. You will send her articles after War. If you do not, she will make up stories and sign your names to them. And no, Andreas, it will not be a lovely article well written for you, so no getting out of it!
- We will need an editor for the Winter Edition of Caterwauls. Contact Deirdre to volunteer. If we don't have volunteers, we may start volunteering you, so you may as well do it yourself.
- Ladies Event will be the last weekend of September through the first week of October.
- More information will be forthcoming
- Thank you to Helen & Kelly!
