Continuing Business:
1) Commons in November will be Thursday the 11th (Veterans' Day) at 
	7:30 at Alexandre's.
	
Officers Reports:

1) Knight Marshall: (via email)  Nothing too new, although the fighting was
	fun at the Cloisters with pictures sent to the web minister.
	Luis notes that armour should be inspected at least every other
	week at official practices.
	
2) Mistress of A&S: No report.

3) Web Minister: No report.

4) Exchequer: No report.  Seneschal added that we should be receiving a
	check from the Ft. Tryon Medieval Fest sometime soon.

5) Herald: No report.

6) Seneschal: Quiet.

7) Chronicler: Eularia said via email that there would be no October
	Cheesecloth, but a double November issue would be in the works.
	(As an aside, for those of you playing at home, Cheesecloth
	subscriptions are for a given number of issues, not a time period.
	So, a "yearly subscription" is actually a 12 issue subscription.)

Recent Events:

1) Barleycorn was well attended and a lot of fun.

2) The Queen's Farm Demo was rained out on Saturday, but had a decent
	turnout Sunday.  Rather than being near the pig races as we
	were last year, we were near the skunk races instead.

3) Coronation also had a good attendance.  Valgard made some interesting
	comments about the well-executed theatricality of the Royal
	activities.  A pretty good event.

4) Fort Tryon Medieval Festival.  Very nice turnout.  The Viceroy estimated
	perhaps thirty or forty SCA folk showed up for at least part of the
	day.  A good crowd as well.

5) Elianne made it to Wear Schola and said that their attendance was a little
	low, resulting in roving packs of feral teachers.  (The paraphrase
	is mine - Ed.)  A mixed bag, therefore.

Upcoming Events:

1) Agincourt, which may not be the last event ever at the site, is
	Nov. 6.

2) Bearbaiting, etc. up in Carolingia is opposite Agincourt.  Alexandre
	is committed to that one - after all they're using his head!

3) A Von Halstern event is also on the same date.   Winterwolf Tourney.

4) Crown Tourney is in Vermont October 29-31, and Valgard will be fighting.

5) Crossed Blades Tavern is in Northpass, Nov. 11-14.

6) 100 Minutes War is opposite the Saturday of Crossed Blades, Nov. 13.

7) St. Andrew's German Vacation in An Dubhaigeainn on Nov. 20 looks
	like fun.

Other Business:

1) Elissa is thinking about setting up a museum event in November sometime.
