Business meetings last night

We had a pre-meeting meeting in order to discuss and finish writing up the new version of the definition of the financial committee and details for the financial policy for the barony. It was interesting looking at what Society law was versus Kingdom law. We went with Society law since that supercedes kingdom law.

I brought the linen napkins with me that ellid had forgotten and left at the house Sunday night, which she speedily finished during the meeting. We're most of the way through the servers napkins -- the only ones outstanding are D.Moiselle's and Una's. D.Moiselle's probably already done hers but wasn't at the meeting. Una's are in progress.

Then we had the regular business meeting, went through officer reports, old business, new business, upcoming events, approved the new version of the financial policy so that it can be sent on to the Kingdom Exchequer. We might be doing a demo during winter vacation -- ellid will be checking on whether or not the museum still wants us to come and for which days. My schedule's kind of wonky that week with other MTs on vacation or surgical recovery, but if I can make it, I will. Last year most of the patients were on vacation too, so they hardly needed us to come in.

Gave loaner clothing over to etainmbw and family, for some of the Sundered Lands folks. We may still have to work out something for Bish, who's a hearty fellow. I'll probably be bringing every cloak we own, since it may be a bit chilly on Saturday.

Then fitzw had to meet with Sir Tom and Kathleen H about the tournaments -- rules, scheduling. More work to be done on that front. We have only the one MoL and there's supposed to be both a boar hunt for the fighters and a fencing tournament. Current plan is to get a few volunteers at the event.

Snow

It snowed this morning. Not a lot, but enough to make the roads slippery. Some of it's still sticking to the lawns.

fitzw went in for a dental appointment and then came right back home. Apparently someone had slid into a pole that carried power and knocked out power in the area. All the phones and phone number info is electronic at the office so they had no way to call people to cancel morning appts (altho' he might have already been on the road by the time they would have called, anyway). So he's re-scheduled to Friday.
