Dragonmaster is our Arts and Sciences competition taking place next Saturday, June 27th, during the local park day(sorry for the short notice). Sign-ups for the competition will close at 1 PM, with judging commencing(theoretically) immediately after that.

The Arts & Sciences are broken into several categories, each with several events. Each event has an event code to help sort them out on the judging sheets and for the final scoring.

Read more to see the category listing.

The experiments are coming along nicely, with only a few entertaining failures. In a matter of months everything should be in place for the final stage.

Also, that itching in my eye-socket has finally stopped. Turns out there was a beetle living in there. Weird.

Prime Minister elections and Weaponmaster will be held on June 6th, 2009.

Prime Minister: Will be held on June 6th, 2009. All declarations must be in by May 23th, 2009. Dues must be paid by May 30th, 2009 to vote. I will take e-mail declarations dated the 23rd or earlier and written declarations at the park on or before the 23rd. Elections will open at 12:30 pm and close at 4:00 pm. I will take absentee votes from anyone that is not going to be present on June 6th, 2009 and that is going to be dues paid on June 6th, 2009, in writing or by e-mail. All e-mail votes must be in by Friday June 5th, 2009 so I can get them. I will have corpora and reeves tests at the park for those that are running or are interested in being reeves qualified.

Weaponmaster: Will be held on June 6th, 2009. I will start sign-ins for weaponmaster will open at 12:30 pm and will close at 2:00pm. The first tournament will be held at 2:30 pm. They will be single elimination because of the number of tournaments.

Attendance has been pretty good, but it can always be better. I ask all of you to answer these questions. Even if you don't post them, at least answer these questions to yourself.

If you are writing about your least favorite moment please don't make it public that you hate/dislike someone (Ex: "so and so" uses a pole every weekend and they always leg you, etc.) Keep this friendly guys.

Survey attached...

Our monarch, Lila von Weiss held an althing on March 21st, 2009.

1. Alibi Article
   A mention of the Alibi online article was mentioned. It contained several videos and a couple quotes from local park members.
2. Diplomacy
   Some disparaging remarks were made about other groups in the Alibi article. These sorts of things should not be happening, especially to reporters.
3. Highland Games
   May 16-17, We have been invited to participate again. We need to come up with a list of activities and fundraisers for this year. In the past we have sold daggers and short swords but will need a group to make more for this year. The archery backdrop and frame need to be replaced due to wind damage at the last Highland Games. Shayleigh has a plan for making a new frame but would like ideas for the new removable backdrop.
4. Battle of Savages
   Savage Highlands in Ruidoso is holding a camping event in 2 weeks. Glenalth needs passengers for a van trip there. Cost for the event is $5 for feast, camping is free. Gas will likely be $10-12 if there are enough people going.
5. Weapons Check
   The 1st Saturday of each month will be a weapons check.
6. Althings
   The 2nd Saturday of each month there will be an Althing at 2:00.

13. Recruiting Video
    There is a recruiting video that was posted in the forums on the website. Anyone that is interested in recruiting or running demos should watch it.

On 2/21/2009, the second Board of Director's meeting was held. These are not the official meeting minutes; those will be released by our new Secretary after they are approved next month. However, it seemed fair for the populace to know their new Officers of the PVBoD.

President - Cassandrah
Vice President - Silk
Secretary - Lila
Treasurer - Mossy

Shayleigh currently is a member as the Prime Minister

Belladonna and Orgy can either share the Liaison position or fight over it.

The next BoD meeting will be on the 21st of March, 2009. An agenda will be posted on the new email list Glenalth started on behalf of the Board. It's open to everyone to listen, btw.
