The Companie Golden Lyon has been invited to support the Pas d'Armes at Battlemoor, which will be the Heavy Tournament sponsored by the Outlands' Laurels. Details are still being worked out; stay tuned.

I've posted our three Companie governing documents to the web page tonight. Click on the "Governing Documents" link in the right margin.

A number of changes have been made to the Ordinances, as of our meeting last Friday. The changed version has been posted. I plan to maintain these documents in such a way that we can see historical content of the docs, and note changes. Let me know if you find typos.

October 2, 2009; Arwen, Guillaume, Simon, and Lijsbet in attendance.

Determined that we want to re-charter the Company at the January Feast.

Who should be signers the new charter?  Jentien and Savina and ... ?

Keep the charter fluid until re-signing; we may want to make changes. Amend charter with clause that enables future changes.

We have a new webpage – we'll be restoring our old content to new page. Address is still www.goldenlyon.org

Calendar CGL events – monthly meetings held on third Friday of the month.

Plan CGL events 2-3 months in advance, using networking tools and meeting to decide on what events we want to do as a Companie.

A&G missing things due to move, like banners – banner-making workshop scheduled for Nov. 14-15 at their house.

Engineer break-down poles that are long enough to keep tails of standards out of people’s way.

Possible chair-making workshop after Estrella – 2 or 3 weekends; talk to Taliesin re: coordinating

Battlemoor work dates – October 24 (tentative); conflicts with Zombie crawl and MileHigh

Company feast – Berkeley Community Church, (pending favorable site cost) January 16

Authenticity-based event – Late spring, early summer 2010

Ordinances –

Need to establish a livery fund, to pay for materials for cloaks and garters.

Need to find a good title for associate member of the Company; camp follower seems to have the wrong sort of connotation. (probationer?) Need to find a good title for the leadership of the company.

Next meeting – November 14, at the Silk Banner Making Workshop, 7:00 pm.

Good afternoon -

It's the day after Crown weekend. Lots to process, including questions about me
and us, them, you, when, if and how, history and what's next.

Let me 'splain.

There is too much to be "summing up". It's a lot of personal information, but if
you can wade through it, I'd appreciate it.

If you've been living under a rock, you may not know that my life is very, very
different now that it was three years ago. I've taken a long vacation from the
SCA, but haven't necessarily been relaxing, per se. I have been deeply involved
in home and garden, and things like pirates and modern music and Steampunk and
Victoriana and fancy teas and Regency things. Robert and I are separated; I own
a little house (way too damned little for all the stuff I want to do) in NE
Denver. I'm no longer traveling for a living; I got laid off in May. My mon
cheri moved in a few months ago, and although Simon hasn't been terribly active
in the SCA for some time, we seem to have a synergy about this living history
thing that has re-ignited our passion for playing the game, and like anything
worth doing, doing it well.
