NO MOOT ON AUGUST 31ST!!!! We want to enjoy the holiday (Labor Day weekend). Next Moot will be Sept. 7. Moot site will begin extended hours for winter beginning Oct. 5. If you have a guild or group activity that you would like to use the Moot room for following Moot during the winter, just let Calien know.

Treasurer: Financial Committee approved a $500 feast budget for Cattle Raids last week.

Marshal: Oct 5 fighter practice will be moving indoors. During the winter months, Callaghan would like to have the loaner armor revamped by folks who can do the leather, metal, or fabric work (each to his/her own expertise). He would also like to know if any of the sewing folks would be willing to sew some larger fighter garb for loan to cover the less than authentic armor at demos, etc. so newer fighters can feel comfortable doing demos.

Chronicler: The August Runestaff is available. Aug 27 is the deadline for articles and artwork for the September Runestaff.

Pursuivant: Thank you to Aelfstan, Natalya and Alatheia for volunteering to do voice heraldry at Cattle Raids. Also, there were a couple submissions this past quarter.

MoAS: Sashatec & Natalya went to the Bull Pytt BBQ party and had a wonderful time. They taught a couple classes. Still need entrants and judges for Cattle Raids. Extra credit is being given to entries that fit the theme.

If you have things to display but won't be there, you can drop them off at Anne & Gryphon's house. Fighters - please show up in armor if you can. Campi will be providing bottled water for demo participants - bring your own mug! Bring things to cover modern items and bring chairs if you think you'll need one. Music would be GREAT! Bring old garb if you have any you are willing to allow people to try on. If you'd like to bring SCA photos, Anne has an album to put them in for display purposes. Make sure to identify them on the back so they get back to you. Any hands-on demonstrations would be great. Scrolls would be nice if you have them framed. Raina will be handling the Mag Mor brochures and Anne has Campi handouts. The first Campi meeting will be August 28 at 8:00pm in the City Union and all are welcome. Campi's website has been updated with new pictures. You can view it at http://anvil.unl.edu/campi

Demo Coordinator: See "Campi"

Baronage:

Please get award recs in for baronial awards for Cattle Raids. Remember, we can now give baronial awards to members of the Bull Pytt as well.
You have one week left to get us a clever motto for one of the Champion standards, otherwise you may be stuck with whatever we come up with.
We would like baronial members to attend Campi's weekly meetings. Once we know what evening of the week they'll be meeting, we would like to have people sign up to attend the Campi meeting. Just one or two people each week, trading off, so we get to know them and they can get to know us. Don't have to teach, can just attend, but if you want to teach something, that's great! Let Anne know if you want to teach something so she can arrange a schedule for that.

Guilds

Music: 7:30 Thursday night, Aug 28 at Volkmar and Isadora's house.

Cattle Raids

Walk through will be on August 28. If you'd like to be there, call Leofwyna (advised her to contact Owain for certain).
Isadora is working on covering for Barn Door for the evening festivities
Agnes has offered a sheepskin for a prize. Leofwyna has another. She'd like one more if anyone has one that they'd be willing to donate as a prize.
Torchlight tourney is being taken care of by Callaghan. We determined that our Kingdom fund raiser will be the purchasing of coins (Agnes has a bunch) to use for betting purposes. Those with the most coins at the end of the tourney will win a prize. Need donations for the prize basket. No odds being placed this year. Can purchase with real money as many coins as you like.
Need a set-up person for the teen activity which is arranging a place for them to gather to drink soda and eat cookies and talk about stupid grown-ups.
