Armored/Heavy Marshal: Onund Ullrson
Not in attendance, but sent Baron Angus his report
a- Report in on time
b- We need marshals and loaner gear, especially helmets.
Rapier Marshal: Gabriel de Burgh
a- Due to a pattern of unsafe behavior on the list, including but not limited to recorded injury of fighters in the past and, most recently, jumping such that both feet leave the ground and delivering a thrust to someone’s face while in the air, It is appropriate that the authorization of Jonathan Haney, aka Jack of Flaming Gryphon within the SCA, be revoked, and he be barred from the Rapier list for a period of 6 months to reflect on the dangers his actions have presented to his fellow fighters.
b- Lots of new fighters and lots of interest online in rapier fighting. We need gorgets and larger coats. The coats we have are good for size large and smaller but have difficulty properly fitting larger framed bodies.
c- Domesday is coming up this quarter. I like to think I stayed on top of making sure everyone’s waiver was up to date when the Middle Kingdom website and database was transitioning to the current system. However, I will be having everyone re-sign their waivers, both so I have an accurate list of who is actually attending Fenix practices, and to triple ensure that no one fell through the gaps.

b- Seneschal going to work on an office transition booklet
c- Motion to split heavy and rapier to M/W again with needing to move indoors.
a. Vote passed. Marshals to discuss who fights which day (The rapier fighters in attendance voiced a preference for Monday so they are able to continue to attend. Baron prefers Wednesdays for armored)
