Meeting Schedule

The June meeting was held at my home on Tuesday 8th June 2004 (delayed due to BMF), and was attended by …. well, just me actually. Thanks to everyone on the list who helped me out with some conflict checking on line late that night, especially Aryanhwy, who I swear never sleeps! This was my final meeting. As I understand it, there will be no meeting for the month of July, as the files will be in transit. Please hold any submission documents until address details for the incoming Crux can be published. The next meeting is likely to be mid August 2004.

Submissions Returned

Arganhell Merch Briauc

Name and device returned

Consulting Herald: Giles Leabrook

Gules, on a fess rayonny three torteaux.

Submitter provides NO documentation for their name.

Since the name is being returned, this great device is also being sent back for a redraw. The fess should represent only one third of the shield space, and the torteaux need to be drawn much larger. It appears free of conflict at this time.

Arganhell Merch Briauc's arms

Everard Sefar

Device return

Consulting Herald: Drago (Arrowsreach)

Argent, a cross bottony and a chief indented gules.

Am unsure what the submitter is wanting with this device, is it per inverted chevron, a triangular chief, or does the submitter really want an indented chief? It is poorly drawn for any of these options, and is being returned for a redraw. It appears free of conflict at this time

Everard Sefar's arms

Rhodri ap Tewdwr Awenydd

Device return

Consulting Herald: submitter

This device is being returned for a redraw. The submitter has pasted on a new shield shape which is larger than the space provided on the form which may come adrift, and coloured the submissions with crayon and glitter gel pens. Also, the mullets should be drawn as an outline only with no internal lines. This beautiful device appears free of conflict at this time.

Or, a wolf rampant and a chief sable.

This device is in conflict with 'Checky argent and vert, a wolf rampant and a chief sable' registered to Randwulf aet Blackwulveslea (August 2001 via Calontir).

FROM THE CRUX

Firstly, I should like to offer my congratulations to Wakeline de Foxley on being announced as Crux Elect. I wish him well in the office, and am sure he will have the support of the entire college while he adjusts to his new role. July will be a transitional time, as mentioned in the meeting schedule section, there will be no July meeting, so please hold any submissions until we can provide suitable address details for the new Crux - please bear with us. Thank you also to the other applicants - by all accounts, it was particularly difficult decisions and they will be keeping you on file for two years hence!

Also, I want to say how impressed I am with the early efforts of our own Bat-Canon. The new Canon Lore looks absolutely fantastic and we can all see what an excellent tool it is going to be in the future. What an amazing job, well done Karl! Well, I think that is it from me - Thank you to everyone for your support and assistance.
