Provincial Charter Amendment Proposal: Default Event Refund Policy

October 5, 2022 Posted inWhat's new

Based on the results of a discussion of the Financial Committee, I am proposing an amendment to Section XI of the provincial charter to add a default event refund policy.

In accordance with our bylaws, I am publicly announcing this proposal in draft format and allowing twenty-eight days for discussion before I call for a vote by the Provincial Officers’ Council.

— Nagashima Ichirō Ujimichi, August 2022

XI. EVENTS AND DEMOS 

P. Default Event Refund Policy

1. No refunds will be issued if the event does not make a profit.

2. When refunds are available, they must be requested via email, text message or letter postmarked to the Event Steward and/or Reservations Clerk at least 48 hours before the event.

3. If payment was made using PayPal, PayPal fees will be deducted from any refund issued.

4. Extenuating circumstances will be viewed on a case by case basis by the Event Steward.

5. The Event Steward has the option to have a refund policy that differs from this one. It must be posted to the event announcement.

Seeking Letters of Intent for Provincial Offices

October 5, 2022 Posted inPositions

The following Provincial Officers positions will become vacant at the end of the day on December 31, 2022..

  • Chancellor of the Exchequer
  • Chatelain
  • Chronicler
  • Knight Marshal
  • Minister of Arts & Sciences
  • Minister of Lists
  • Captain of Archers
  • Chamberlain
  • Chancellor Minor
  • Historian

All Provincial offices have two-year terms. Officers may serve multiple terms, except that kingdom policies limit seneschals and exchequers to a maximum of four years in office.

Now is the time to submit letters of intent for these offices. If one is interested in being a deputy for any of these offices, I ask that you also submit a letter of intent. The cutoff date for letters of intent will be November 14, 2022. A list of Candidates will be presented at the commons meeting on November 16, 2022. If there are multiple candidates for any positions, we will run meet the candidate sessions prior to the vote which will be held online from November 17, 2022 to December 19, 2022. Newly elected officers will be announced at the December 21st commons meeting. New officers will assume their offices on January 1, 2023.

In Service to the Dream,

Nagashima Ichirō Ujimichi

Provincial Court Report from the Cloisters Demo – Oct. 2022

October 5, 2022 Posted inAnnals

Among the spectacle of the Fort Tyron Medieval Festival, Their Excellencies Angelica and Sofya did hold court. First, they attended to the matter of the selection of Østgarðr’s new Armored Combat champion, calling in their previous champion Padraig O’Bradaig, called Samson, to announce the results of the contest. Samson completed his duties by passing on the honor to Albrecht Anker, who had showed great prowess in besting the many competitors in the day’s tournament.

Their Excellencies then invited up Ervald LeCoudre Edwardson the Optimistic to pass on the honors granted for two previously awarded awards: the scroll for his Silver Tyger that was previously granted during one of the Kingdom’s Ethereal courts and his scroll and medallion for his Silver Lantern, granted two Viceregencies ago for his skills in the bardic realm.

Completing their award business, Their Excellencies called up Pia Maletestra d’Rimini, called Erlan, to be inducted into the Order of the Seahorse for her continuous service to the Province; business that this time was only previously slated for two courts ago.

Continuing onto resolving previous business, Their Excellencies did request that the populace in attendance be awarded two Sea Stars: one for their role in today’s event and one for the populace’s service in making The Feast of John Barleycorn and Østgarðr Investiture a success.

Mathghamhain Ua Ruadhain was also invited up to speak as the event steward and was given many thanks for his continued work in making the Cloisters Demo a success for many years.

And this concludes all the business conducted during Their Excellencies court, held during the Cloisters Demo in the Canton of Whyt Whey on the second of October A.S. 57.
