the Perfectly Period Feast for 1420-1440 Catalonia, 13Nov10

[ppfuf]

Howdy ya'll. 
I just got word that the West Kingdom's Fall Collegium 2010 has been moved to November 13. If you were hoping to attend the class on the Perfectly Period Feast for 1420-1440 Catalonia, please adjust your calendars accordingly.

Sadly that's not the bad news. The bad news is spring collegium for 2010 has been cancelled, so any preperatory classes for servers and carvers will be at the outdoor West Kingdom Arts and Sciences weekend. A&S weekend is currently scheduled for June 11-13th.

GM and I will try to attend any local collegial events between now and feast if there are people in outlying areas who would like to be carvers or servers. I may also attempt to teach the guest and staff feast classes at the cook's playdate at the West-Antir war in July.

and the seneschal says...

So I wrote to Rowan the Kingdom Seneschal to ask about the meeting minutes. He said they didn't keep them, which I find a little odd, considering the way the banks demand to see the minutes every time my local branch changes exchequers, but *whatever*. He did kindly offer to answer any questions I had, so I wrote back that I am unhappy to hear collegium has been reduced to a once-a-year event. And I asked him to tell me how come this decision was made. He said I could cut and paste his response here:
