Greetings, Northshield, from your friendly neighborhood KEM. All group, regional and marshals-in-training need to submit their quarterly reports to the appropriate marshal by September 1. As we are currently without a western regional armored combat marshal, all western regional marshals should send their reports to the kingdom armored combat marshal at the following address: kacm@northshield.org.
I will be requiring all marshals reporting in the kingdom of Northshield to meet their reporting deadlines, no excuses. If any marshal misses two of their required reporting periods, their warrant as a marshal will revoked. Reporting is an important part of the marshal’s job. I was just looking at a map and it appears Northshield is very large. The regional and kingdom marshals can’t be at every event and practice. Without communication with our marshals through reporting, we are unable to meet the needs of our community.
The reporting requirements for marshals are found here http://northshield.org/Resources/PDF/Martial/handbooks/MarshalHandbook.pdf starting on page 17.
To try to assist everyone to meet their requirement, I am putting together an email list to send out a quarterly reminder with a handy link to all marshals 15 days before reports are due each quarter. In fact, if things go as planned, by the time you read this, you should have an email reminding you to send in your quarterly report if it is your reporting period. If you haven’t received an email and should have, let me know at KEM@Northshield.org and I will get you on the list for the future reminders.
As long as we are on the topic of reporting, marshals in charge of events should be turning in event reports within two weeks of the end of an event. I find myself in the awkward position of there being significantly more events with marshal activities then there are event reports. If you have been a marshal in charge of an event this summer, you should let us know by sending me a report detailing the great time everyone had.
In Service,
Vladimir
