Seneschal Tidbit #1
Subject: Our beloved Herald and his heralding duties
After perusing (yes, perusing) the Herald's Quarterly report it seems
there has been little action in this arena. In fact, it seems the only
action is that he wrote the report.
Not his fault.
In other words, let's put him to good use! If you do not have a name, or a
device, here sits (and I do mean sits) a perfectly good Herald waiting to
be of service to...oh yeah...maybe you.
Going around the SCA without a name is like going around naked. While some
will appreciate that, others do not.
A good device on a large field will cover up all those naked bodies on a
cold night.
So, don't be shy, call the guy!!!
And If you don't, I will keep writing poems and send them to YOU!!!!!
Seneschal Tidbit #2
Please remember, when you have something on your mind regarding an event,
or something that has happened, something you have observed etc. please
remember to communicate with that person about that item, first, before
bringing it to the Seneschal. It is proper procedure and the only fair way
of dealing with issues. Communicate, communicate, communicate. Please do
not let a lot of time lapse in doing so, in that this will harbor all
kinds of nasties.

It is the Baron and Baroness' responsibility to pick the Baronial
champions, under whatever designations they choose. If they can not be
present they may designate another or postpone the choice making (ok, it
sounded better than picking).
Seneschal Tidbit #4
This has to do with being an Autocrat. It is well known that being an
Autocrat has an expectation of getting a site for an event. And it is well
know that ain't so easy, but a #1 priority. So, when putting in a bid to
be an Autocrat to the peoples of Dun Carraig,it is not necessary to have a
site just then, but would look really good if you did. Also, it is
expected that the Autocrat will then bring a sample of a contract and some
cost numbers so that the Barony can peruse such, and, of course, approve
of such, since most site fees are well above $300.00.
Contracts should include:
1. When the final walk through will occur. (Yes, we want it in writing if
possible to cut down on the burn factor)
2. When the deposit will be returned and it should be 21 days to allow us
to deposit it and then count it in the final numbers before the 30 day
limit.
3. The percentage of the deposit and when they want it.
4. Time of access to the site.
5. Parking and handicapped parking.
6. Places on site that have limited or no access.
7. Smoking and where or where not.
8. Alcohol and or not.
9. Open flames and or not.
10. Animals and or not.
11.Rooms that we can use and maybe a map!!!
Can't say we don't learn.....
