Publication of Proposed Policy Change

The following policy change has been requested:

A change from:
“II. Officers
A.The Officers of the Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands are those required by Kingdom Law, the office of the Baron/ess, the Seneschals of the Barony’s nondormant subsidiary groups, and the Webminister. These officers, excluding the office of the Baron/ess, constitute the financial committee of the Barony for the purpose of setting financial policy and approving financial activities. No present or proxied individual may have more than one vote on the financial committee.”

To:
“II. Officers
The Officers of the Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands are those required by Kingdom Law, the office of the Baron/ess, the Seneschals of the Barony’s nondormant subsidiary groups, and the Webminister. These officers constitute the financial committee of the Barony for the purpose of setting financial policy and approving financial activities. No present or proxied individual may have more than one vote on the financial committee.”

This change would give the Baron/ess a single vote on the Financial Committee. This has historical precedence in our Barony and has been changed back and forth a couple of times.

If you have comments about this proposed policy change that you would like to share, please either comment here or send email to seneschal(at)debatablelands(dot)org.

Meeting Minutes – Officer’s Meeting on 7 June 2017

These are the meeting minutes from the June Officer’s meeting.

There are a couple of things I wished to point out from that meeting:
1. It was suggested at the meeting that we change the name of those meetings to “Business Meeting” going forward. We will be doing so starting with the August meeting.

2. There was a change in policy proposed and that will be officially posted some time this evening.

Fencing Practice This Sunday

Greetings,

This Sunday fencing practice will be starting at 12 PM instead of the usual 1 PM.

We will be having Cut n Thrust this week with multiple marshals so authorizations are possible, there is limited loaner gear available, so if you ever wanted to try Cut n Thrust come on out.

We will also be doing some demonstrations and teaching on cutting techniques with sharp blades, for those interested in learning more about that aspect.

If we get enough attendance this week we will also be running a tournament simulating combat starting suddenly. Both fencers will start with their swords sheathed at their hips and will draw at lay on.

Also as a reminder all fencers wishing to participate in fencing at Pennsic must have their Primary Authorization completed before arriving at War.
