Seneschal report
This has been a wonderful year for St Kessog. Highlights for me are both the clubs day, the amazing feast cooked by Lady Terese, the Fimbulwinter Encampment and last but not least the amazing friends I have made through our club this year.

This year has been particularly stressful for me on a personal front and I may not have done all I had wanted for St Kessog but we all have achieved so much including:
•	Affiliating to OUSA
•	Meeting Regularly for A&S (thanks to Hercules, Carys, Katherine and Nicola)
•	Getting fighting practice up and going (Thank you Chris, Berengar and Yad)
•	Getting Archery up and going (Thanks Brendan)
•	Making a tonne of first Garb, you all should be so proud!
•	Hosting a Feast
•	Hosting an Encampment
•	Applying for funding twice (Getting one lot, waiting to hear about the next lot)
•	Having amazing club days
•	Having a strong core of 12 people who almost always turn up
•	Selling our candles and soap at camp
•	Recognising those who have contributed to our club through the B&B

Before I leave this year I want to make sure we finish the process to becoming a real College and not a proto-college. By putting those who are soon to be coming to office on the application with support from those of us who are leaving we will achieve good base for next year, so the paper work side should be finished by mid-October.

Lastly I would like to thank the members of Southron Gaard for all their support, the B&B have been there to answer any question I have had and if they couldn’t answer it they would point me in the direction of someone who could help, both Seneschals who have supported the birth of this amazing little College in the south, Natalya who has come down several times to instruct us in dance (sorry I was always late to pick you up from the airport), Terese and Kotec who cooked amazing feasts for us, Vitale and Amberhearthe who have gifted us much including a helm for our fighters in the way of support of our events and goodies we needed, Lord William de Wyk who has gifted us a helm and a sewing machine. All those who gifted us Hire Garb and Armour and those who have supported us in any way they can. Without your support Hercules and I would not have got this College off the ground and look at the monster you have help us to create.

-A $400 grant had been given to St Kessog for the Fimbulwinter Encampment to help cover student camp fees, however only 8 students attended the camp. A cheque $220 has been written for OUSA to refund the unused portion of the grant.
-An application for $2000 has been submitted to OUSA for archery equipment, travel expenses to Canterbury Faire.
Lady Avril of Didham (Natalia Yates)

Reeve Report:
Account book up to the date
$266.78 in account as of 22nd September 2006. Refund due to Carris Lloyd, Vivienne Hanan, Brendan White $36.55. May still owe Southron Gaard for $100 deposit for Fimbulwinter. Natalia to follow up.

Chatelaine Report: 
This year has been a stressful one but it still has been a good year for recruitment. 

Marshal Report: 
The marshal has been largely absent due to family commitments. Marshal duties have been shared between Bevan and David. An average of 3-4 people have been attending practices.

Constable Report: 
-All in all a quiet year, for the position of Constable, only one item reported missing (which we believe we’ve found but has as yet been unable to confirm/return).

I was appointed to court at the Baronial anniversary, taking the role of Court Scholar, this is a position open to the members of St Kessog only and will be held for a period of either one or two years. The Court Scholar is one of two members from the college on court who attend various roles as required by the Baron and Baroness, either when they visit or if attending events where official courts are held. In this capacity I attended First Feast of St Kessog, and the Kessog Fimbulwinter event. This position does not necessarily go hand in hand with the position of Constable.

There was only one injury at an event, when Trish of the Neck was stuck by a flying fox at Fimbulwinter, fortunately nothing serious just a major headache.

I am indebted to the good people of St Kessog, and indeed the Barony, for making the role of constable an easy and enjoyable job.  May the person who receives the Constable’s cup next find it so.

I wish the College all the best, and remember we’ll be keeping an eye on you.
Hercules of Didham (Nigel Yates)
