This primarily involves ensuring thatsomeone is serving as a Constable In Charge at every eventand official training. The Baronial Constable is also responsi-ble for the storage and reporting of all indemnities collected inthe Barony, and all lost property.
Anyone interested in the position is welcome to apply.Previous experience serving as an SCA constable will serveyou well, but is not required. There is still some time before Istep down and the office is pretty easy to learn.

Tea and coffee willbe provided free at the banquet and at other times in return for nominalcontributions. If there is enough support we may consider running a sau-sage-in-a-bun stall over the two lunch times and maybe some pay as yougo Breakfasts. Any leftovers from the banquet will be served up as break-fast on the Sunday.
