Unto the members of the College of Arms,
from Baldwin of Erebor, Laurel King of Arms.
My lords and ladies,
Enclosed herewith are the acceptances and
returns for the Laurel meeting of January 56. The letters
processed at this meeting were Atenveldt (10/2), Atenveldt (10/3),
East (10/9), Calontir (10/9), East (10/22), Caid (10/24), Middle
(10/25), West (10/26), Middle (10/28), and Laurel (11/6). There
were a total of 313 items approved, 59 returned, and 6 pending,
for an 83% approval rate.
Schedule
Batonvert has suggested that letters of
intent be scheduled for processing on the basis of the projected
meeting date, and that anything received after the schedule is
announced be carried over to the following, meeting. (I am currently
scheduling letters by month of issue.) This seems like a reasonable
idea it gives the corresponding heralds more advance
notice of the letters on which they will need to comment, and
it evens out the commenting interval so I thought
we'd give it a try for the next couple of months, so see how it
works out.
The letters to be processed at the Laurel
meeting of February 3 are Ansteorra (11/1), Middle (11/1), Meridies
(11/1), Caid (11/8), West (11/11), Atenveldt (10/15), Atlantia
(11/15), Atenveldt (11/20), East (11/22), and East (11/26). The
Atenveldt letter of 11/26 and the East letter of 11/27 have been
moved forward to March, to help ease the transition to the new
schedule.
The March meeting is scheduled for the 10th.
The letters to be processed at this meeting are Atenveldt (11/26),
East (11/27), Caid (12/6), Calontir (12/8), Middle (12/10), Atenveldt
(12/10), West (12/17), Meridies (12/17), East (12/25), East (12/26),
and Laurel (1/1/85).
The April meeting is scheduled for the 14th.
The letters to be processed at this meeting are West (12/17),
Meridies (12/18), Atlantia (12/31), West (1/10), East (1/14),
Calontir (1/7), Caid (1/19), Atenveldt (1/22), and Laurel (1/28).
[I have not yet received the Meridies LoI of 12/18, although I
have received comments on it.]
