As all good things must come to an end, my time as Exchequer is nearing its completion. I was the deputy exchequer for approximately two years, and I have been serving in this office for the last four years. In that time, I have had the opportunity to work with a plethora of people at business meetings, addressing the barony as a whole at barony meetings, and working with staff at the Barony’s events to ensure the money was handled properly. I am now issuing a call for letters. My last business meeting as Exchequer will be the first week of June.
Please send any letters of interest to the seneschal at seneschal@debatablelands.org. If you have any questions about what the position entails, please feel free to reach out to exchequer@debatablelands.org The physical requirements for the position will require access to a computer with Office or Google Docs, a scanner or scanning program on your phone, (I use Adobe Scan), and space for about three or four file boxes. People with a history of retail cash management and some basic Excel knowledge will be well equipped for this position.
The exchequer runs the budget meeting every April, attends 6 business meetings yearly, attempts to attend as many Barony meetings as possible each year, attempts to attend kingdom exchequer meetings at select events including a one hour session at Pennsic, and keeps in touch with the barony’s officers as well as the kingdom exchequer’s office. They will submit four reports each year, as well as a one-page report after each Barony event. The overall time commitment will vary throughout the year; some weeks there will be zero hours spent in this position. Near Barony hosted events or when reports are due, you may spend up to 10 hours per week ensuring other members have reimbursements, that the money ends up at the bank, and that the event reports are filed. Thank you for allowing me to serve the barony in this fashion. I plan on continuing to work with the Barony’s officers to help create the best place to play.
In Service,
Lady Arthes
