Chronicler Report

Good tidings, Vatavia!

First, hopefully if everything has worked out, you are now holding

in your hand the first edition of the Dragonflyre that YOU have acted as

Printer for! This is a history making moment for not only us in Vatavia but

also for all other groups in the Known World. By taking our newsletter

online, the Barony will be saving almost $500 year!

Second, some may notice that this Report is where Know They

Neighbor would be. KYN is be given some forced vacation time so that it

can be tooled . Hopefully, the retooling will promote the readers of the

Dragonflyre (that’s YOU) to submit stories and or information about their

personas. It will hopefully return at sometime in the future. I want to

thank those who helped KYN in its first few shaky months.

Many Thanks go out to:

Mór Hoistlair

Lord Jóhann Steinarsson

Lord (Friar) Thomas Bacon

Lady Ysabel

Ever In Service,

Fujihara Murasaki

From the Baronage

Unto the populace of Vatavia, from Their Excellencies,

We hope that everyone is having a wonderful 2012 so far, and that the rest of

your year be filled with fun and all sorts of good things!

We are writing this having just returned from Crown Tourney, where we were

privileged to see Sir Lucien fight and win for Mistress Conna!

Congratulations to them!

Our next event will be on January 28 at St. Patrick Catholic School here in

Wichita. Many thanks to Lady Deidre and Lady Murasaki for being this

event’s Stewards. It should be a lot of fun- invite your friends!

Church, Wichita, Ks

11 members attended: 10 officers/deputies/champions;1 event steward

Planning for the January 28th Mid-Winter event continues. Work

days for the event projects are being scheduled. Exploration Place would

like to arrange regular presentations on a schedule convenient for the

Barony.

Three Vatavian’s proposals have been sent on to national. Three

more individuals’ proposals are at Saker for consideration. BUSH classes

are scheduled through March. People will need to bring their own

supplies for the February class on making duct tape dress dummies.

$87.88 in donations from the Barnes and Noble gift wrapping

were delivered. The 2012 budget will be done once the financial

Domesday is completed. The need to replace and to make new Baronial

regalia was reported. Fund raising options will be considered. Preliminary

plans for new chairs are being researched.

Permission forms for the on-line publication are being obtained,

especially from the officers, to move to electronic publication. This is a

Society level decision. Publication of a new Vatavian Census this year

was discussed. Changes will be required to address electronic publication,

access and security.

Archery practice will resume at Diamond Archery now that the

holidays have passed.

One application has been received for the Arts and Sciences Min-

ister position. Fourth quarter and Domesday reports are due soon. All

officers need to send copies of the report for their office to the Baronage

and Seneschal. It was requested to also send copies to the previous

Seneschal who is working on compiling the Domesday for that office.

Event bids are needed for the Spring Ren fair, by February Offi-

cers’; Valor, March Officers’; Fall Ren fair, August Officers’

Clothier's Seminar XXVII

Gardner, KS 66030

Times: Site opens: 8:15 am

Classes begin: 9:00 am

Site closes: 6:00 pm

The Clothier's Seminar is an annual event that revolves

around the one necessity that we all need, clothes. Come join us for a

day of classes, discussion and camaraderie. It is an excellent time to

show off your finest garb and accessories. Simple clothing, complex

clothing, exotic clothing, it's all welcome! Whether you have never

sewn a piece of garb or have been doing it for years, there's something

for you. It's also the perfect place to learn what your persona would

have worn, and why. Even if you don't sew, it's a great way to find

people who can make garb for you.
