Officer Reports
Warlord report (Angus)
- Alonzio is very happy.
- Angus passed out rattan to fighters that were first time fighting with us.
- Angus talked about rotating fighting practices and that something fun to do would be “picking a fight” with Endless Hill to take over their vineyards on October 9 at Hickory Run Park. This would also be our Fall Gather.
Captain of the Guard report (Maddog)
- Everything good. Please take a shift. New people do need to know who Cloven Shield is for when they walk through our gate. And no pooping at the Gate
(secretary’s note: from what I understand, there were 3 piles of poop at the gate one morning. No idea why. Anyone wants to write a bit for newsletter & write it….heck you can even title it Yes sh*t and I was there”)
Thistle report (Lenora)
- Lenora had the idea to have a confed recipe book for both our benefit and as a means to raise money in the coffers. Kelly has volunteered to spearhead the putting it together. Please email Kelly your recipes and hopefully, any stories that go with said recipe.
Wren report (Helen)
- Maddog was brought in as the Order’s newest member. Congrats Maddog!

Arrow report (no one present)
- assuming no new business. go shoot.
Introductions
- Grania introduced Bruce
- Neeve (Allie) introduced Arcadee (Chris), Micky, Bridget, and John
- Siearra introduced Stephanie
- Rowena introduced Lux (secretary’s note: I believe at this time, she has also withdrawn sponsorship)
Inductions:
- Angus brought Senta and belted him with with the words “that he had the heart of a hero) The belt formerly belong to Ghille and then to Brychen.
- Senta then turned around and presented Angus with a beautiful hand made mug with words of thanks. (editors note: the chalace was made by Setna's father, specifically for Angus)
- Valerie was brought in by Lenora and since her voice was shot, after she said the words, Haldor repeated them loudly for her. Helen offered up her bracelet
- Angus brought in Maddoc (Brian – Bubbles’ cousin) and belted him with Eammon’s belt which was given by Angus.
New Business
- We discussed upcoming Sr Servant elections. Maddog announced he’d like to be considered for sr servant. It was decided to nominate at Winter Gather, vote at Ladies, and “turn the keys over” at War for better continuity for housekeeping purposes.
- Deirdre discussed the Caterwauls and that having one editor for the year isn’t working (editor burnout etc) and that we should return to rotating editors. She would be willing to do the post-Pennsic edition and help with rotating editors for now (up to a year) but wants this “off her plate” as soon as possible. Both Helen and Kelly have volunteered to take a turn in being an editor. (editor's note: me too!)
- Deirdre reminded people to get donations for Margarita night over to her so she could figure out what we’d need yet for party. (secretary’s note: Margarita night went off well and everyone was fab about taking a shift to help. You guys rock!)
- We need someone to autocrat for Ladies. We need autocrats BADLY.(secretary’s note: since the meeting I believe Siearra has stepped up to do this. If I’m wrong, Siearra please feel free to take me to task…you will anyway. :-P )
- There was a discussion of what to do in the scenario of people who have left the house and would now like to rejoin. After several ideas, we agreed upon that people wishing to rejoin would be brought up to the fire and the membership would be asked if there were any objections. If there were no objections, they automatically would return to the fold.
- We had a lot of thank you’s for the help with the storm that went through the night previous (Wednesday war week), and thanks for other things family does for each other. Unfortunately, the secretary didn’t write down everyone. Sorry I was in the moment.
