Business Meeting – May 2025

June Calendar:

  • 5th No  Meeting
  • 12th – No Meeting
  • 19th – No meeting
  • 21st (Saturday) – Sewing Day at Laurel’s (more info to come)
  • 26th – Virtual Business Casual Meeting

Attrition and newcomers:

  • Buckston has a problem  low attendance and low newcomers.  New people are playing at baronial level and not canton level.  They are attending fighter practices, dances, events, and guild/game nites in Garner
  • Baronial Unevent (June 28th) – will warrant anyone who attends and takes warrant classes for offices.  
  • Honey Girl Meadery – holding a Demo on July 11th – 6-9pm – calling for fighters, fiber artists, games, etc
  • Ideas for changing up regular meetings – go to other canton meetings (merge), hold a picnic at fighter practice, go to guild meetings/events, possible weekly standing dance classes

Future calendar: at June business meeting will return to planning two months out – with above suggestions in mind – Una will create a list of possible events, guild meetings, etc to share with group
