Consistently 6-8 people at practice. Are able to access school covered area again.

Archery
Still having practice, weather permitting.
Johan repaired a foam target but it needs repair again. They are kept because they are easy for kids to get the arrow to stick. Tymme is looking for other solutions.
All thrown weapons items at the range/site have been disposed of, except for a tarp which was kept for other use. If a deputy is found, there will need to be some purchases.
Coronet

Are looking at step-down being a Day of Archery event on May 31 with a combined Lion’s Heart event for Madrone.
Process to find a replacement should start after January.
Old Business
Kingdom A&S and Rapier Bid
Ocean Shores is available Saturday and Sunday but not Friday. No other options are available. We are able to get in at 7:00 am on Saturday morning and should be able to set up adequately.
Ready to take bid to Kingdom for approval if there are no objections. No objections were raised.
New Business
September 6 has been reserved on the Kingdom Calendar for Wyewood Champions and a bid is needed.
Tymme is working on a bid for Day of Archery and is working with Madrone to get a co-steward for the Lion’s Heart part of the event. Some aspects are falling into place already. Looking for key positions like gate lead and Archery Marshal in Charge.
Discussion of whether to have a different type of online meeting account like Zoom. Research will happen.
Upcoming Meetings
There will be no FCS in December.
Business Meeting, January 8, 7:30 pm.
