Kingdom officers meeting

All officers present at Coronation are invited to attend our first open officers meeting of the year.

The meeting will run as a come when you can and leave when you must between 12:00 - 13:30; right after their majesties sit in state until lunch.

We as Seneshals feel that there is a need for us as seneshals to meet and greet as many of the officers in the kingdom as we possibly can and to talk and listen to you. We also know from experience that being an officer can be a bit lonely so this is also an oppertunity for you to meet your fellow officers and build relationships, exchange knowledge etc..

We intend to hold open officers meetings at kingdom events when it is possible to do so.

Olipa kerran kaksi Aarnmetsän paronitarta, jotka kovasti miettivät ja pohtivat, mitkä ovat koko tunnetun maailman suurimmat herkut ja hienoimmat aarteet. Löytääkseen vastauksen kysymykseensä lähettivät he viisi kapteeniaan eri suuntiin laivoineen, käskynään tuoda takaisin mitä herkullisimpia ruokia ja ihmeellisimpiä aarteita.
