Greetings from your friendly neighborhoodEarl Marshal,
Now that the Domesday has wrapped up, I'dlike to announce two policy changes that willgo into effect immediately.
REPORT SCHEDULE
In a continued effort to simplify theprocess we will be aligning the reportingschedules for all martial activities into oneset of dates. All activities will have thefollowing schedule:
Group Marshals, Group Marshals-in-Training,and Marshals-in-Training:
February 25
May 25
August 25
November 25
Marshals of the Field:
May 25 (RAPIER ONLY)
November 25
*Simon Morcar, Kingdom Rapier Marshal,and I are still discussing if the midyear reportfor Rapier Marshals of the Field is necessary.If we decide that it is no longer needed, I willannounce the change ASAP.
PRACTICE WAIVERS
Group Marshals will now be asked tosubmit all practice waivers each quarterto their Regional Marshal. The RegionalMarshals will then submit all of the waiversto the waivers deputy.
A reminder: anyone who is not authorized,and can reasonably be expected to come incontact with the list field, should be signingthese waivers. This includes field heralds;individuals distributing water, getting closeto the action to take pictures, etc.
I have a few policy rewrites left on my agenda.Once these are completed I intend to updatethe marshals' handbook, which will have allof the changes published in them. Thank youfor your patience in dealing with out-datedhandbooks.
YIS,
Ansila the Goth
