Finance Committee Activity

The Endewearde Finance Committee does not meet in person on a regular basis, but does communicate, discuss, and vote online. The following information is a summary of our communication this year. For previous years, please look in the archive (currently being constructed–thank you for your patience!).

Please contact any Finance Committee member at any time with questions, comments, concerns, and opinions. The list of committee members can be found here. We value your input!

2020/03/03

  • Discussion on funds request for Baronial Muster
    • $100 total: $50 for SCA insurance and $50 for other expenses (water, ice, prizes)
    • Same arrangement as previous 2 years; camping Friday and Saturday nights
    • Donation might be smaller because Jehan’s is not paying a site fee

2020/02/05

  • Continue discussion of Baronial Pavillion proposal
    • Storage is a concern; perhaps this issue should be worked out before we actually spend the money (or request the money)
    • How does this fit into our annual budget
      • Endewearde does not currently have an annual budget or process for such; this is an issue to be discussed at a later date.
    • Should we consider looking for a lightly used pavilion at Pennsic instead of buying a brand new one?
      • A good question. Pennsic can be hit or miss so planning to purchase that way might be difficult and be left to circumstance.

2020/01/05

  • Begin discussion of Baronial Pavillion funds request process
    • This will be the largest expense yet made by the Barony
    • Some money has already been raised for this project
    • Possible face to face meetings with populace about how to proceed
    • Link to proposal document (to come)
  • Discussion on transparency with the Barony and how to be more reachable/approachable
    • Create a list of finance committee members on the website and keep it updated.
    • Create a public record of finance committee activity.
