2. Chatelaine/Gold Key: both are moving, so storage must be elsewhere

Anne - utensils
extras will be given away for donations at next event
Judy will ask Lynne if she has room for clothing

3. Halls/Places to meet: Judy check out spaces for rental; Paul is looking into Cumberland Masons; prices will be brought to next meeting.

4. Last event - Robber Baron's feast
Finance: mystery of the $50 - Colette mistakenly put additional $50 that was given to her; will be put down in books as "donation", even though Colette was not out of pocket.
Concept: Colette asks if it counts as a medieval event; concepts were introduced and some medieval education happened, so it was agreed it was acceptable.
Need larger space for play and dance; maybe 3 times the area.
Keeping people after 9 p.m. - Billets are offered; perhaps an after-party?
"Death" should pick up one-shot items. Fewer knives. Antidotes must be carefully chosen (allergies; taste). A guest list in the packet would be useful (especially to the RB).
Colette would like to get the Upper Native Sons Hall next time. Anne suggests Eureka Club on 4th.

Go over TRPs before the event (tourney rules and procedures).
