8. General Business
Archery Purchases and Funding Regular Practices
Domenego proposed two funding models for archery and other regular practices:
- Members self-fund hireage and a ‘kitty’ for loaner gear purchases.
- Events are organised with the intent of generating more income than expenditure, with the profit from events being funnelled into regular practices as a ground for a recruitment.
There was general consensus amongst the committee that model (2) is preferred.
Motion: The Committee to purchase 2x bows, the $150 horse bow from Luan, per Phil’s proposal, and David’s bow for $50. Proposed by Domenego, seconded by Giacoma. Passe This motion also received support from Christine via email. The committee also noted that it is open to purchasing more loaner gear for archery on further review.
Tablecloths
Several tablecloths appear to have been stained with mould over the last few years. There was discussion on what could be done with these tablecloths. Eleanor has offered to purchase one of these tablecloths to test if it would pass the puncture test for Rapier garb, with the idea that other tablecloths can be turned into loaner gear if this passes.
Motion: The Committee confirms and accepts Eleanor Hall's purchase of 1x of the leftover tablecloths for $20.[n.b. it is the sincerest apologies of the minutetaker that I didn't capture who had proposed this motion - Giacoma]. Seconded by Mærwynn. Motion passed unanimously.
Action: Quartermaster to check the current tablecloth inventory to see what other tablecloths need to be replaced.
Storage Containers
Motion: The Committee to reimburse Mærwynn æt Mædwe $24.98 for the purchase of a replacement storage container. Proposed by Mærwynn, seconded by Giacoma, abstained Domenego. Motion passed.
