DISCUSSION ITEMS:

 1.  The notes of the previous meeting were distributed for review.  MAY
noted that her name was spelled incorrectly.  There were no other changes. 

 2.  It was noted that the Canton Marshall position is open.  The deadline
for applications is Practicum and there is currently one applicant.  The
Doomsday report for the fighters has been completed and submitted. 

 3.  Canton Web Minister position is open.  The deadline for application
is February 8, 2003. 

 4.  The Canton Pursuivant and Chatelaine application deadlines have
passed.  Applications have been received and will be confirmed by the
Canton Executive.  The decision is expected some time this week. 

 5.  OUEN noted that the Baronial Web Minister and Chatelaine positions
were still open, with deadlines of February 8, 2003 and February 22, 2003
respectively. 

There was some discussion regarding the Canton and Baronial positions.  It
was noted that greater response might be elicited to requests for
application if descriptions of the positions were included in the call. 
OUEN noted that, for future Baronial positions, this information would be
included. 

 6.  There was discussion about Feast of the Hare bids, the deadline for
which was supposed to be this meeting.  It was decided that, due to the
low attendance at the meeting the decision should be tabled to the next
meeting. 

After some discussion, it was noted that perhaps splitting the Hare bids
between bids for sites and bids to run the event might elicit more
applications. 

 7.  CECILIA reported from the Canton Twelfth Night Party.  There were
approximately 30 people in attendance, all of whom had a good time. 
People enjoyed attending an event where everyone could talk to everyone. 
The event made $85 and cost $250, so there was a loss.  It was noted that
the group had approved the event with the understanding that a loss was a
possibility. 

 8.  CRISTABELL reported on the "Murder in the Cathedral" Demo.  The demo
went great: the play not so much.  Eleven people attended: Iudith, Anne,
Angharad, May, Wilhelm, Cristabell, Cecilia, Even, Enid, Henry, Gabrielle
and Kathy.  CRISTABELL thanked the people who attended. 

WILHELM noted that the only flyers he could find were in French.  There
was discussion about updating our publicity. 

 9.  ANNE noted that she is no longer Chronicler.  She distributed the
last Chronicle done under her editorship - singing "Halleluia" as she did. 

10.  GEOFFROI forwarded his greetings.  He indicated that article and
cover art submissions are very welcome/necessary.  He also encouraged
people to subscribe to the Chronicle. 

11.  CECILIA noted that next Sundays' SCA Day topic was "Taming of the
Shrew".  ARCHIBALD is looking for copies of the play.  The first aid
course has been put on hold. 

12.  CECILIA noted that the topic for the SCA Day on February 16, 2003 was
Dancing, focusing on dances with triplets rather than pairs. 

13.  WILHELM asked for volunteers for the Parade of the Vanities at
Practicum. 

14.  DUBHEASE noted that GEOFFROI cannot be at Practicum because his work
is sending him to Castel Rouge. 

15.  It was noted that the Practicum website will be up soon.

16.  Volunteers were requested for the Anxiety Ball.

17.  IUDITH requested that the discussion about the Quartermaster position
(deputy of Exchequer) be put into the minutes to be discussed at a future
meeting. 

The meeting then adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,
Ouen de St-Helier
Canton Secretary
