• STTS Marshall report on website. Friday night practice was fairly dormant over summer, now picking up again. There are changes, which the Marshal and Constable will have to deal with, to the rules governing minors in combat - parents will have to give "informed consent" (i.e. they have to have seen SCA fighting, then give written consent).

Event Report:

• see web page for Tourney report.

Festival Plans:

• LJ drew plan of tiers for those who haven't seen them. (Hopefully attached). In terms of who camps where, all present were fairly openminded, but would prefer 1) the campsite to be arranged principally so that the period tents were on view from the main campsites, with the non-period tents behind 2) to put large tents in places where the guyropes don't block access, if possible.
• PR suggested planting some fast-growing and hardy trees, in an attempt to get some shade in a few years. (Various species were discussed.) Numerous offers of money and manpower for this project. PR to scope full cost (seedlings/wire/pegs for wire/soil preparation stuff) and we'll hopefully make this a group project.
