I helped start coursing in Trimaris, and recently rewrote the charter. I can lend you assistance in many areas. Our charter is based off the Middle Kingdom charter with one difference, we are a part of the Marshallette, not Arts and Sciences. If you like, I can send you a copy of our new charter. Our basic etiquette and general rules (Section 5 of our charter.) can be found online at http://trimaris-coursing.freeservers.com/about.html . AEthelmearc's policies are available at http://www.angelfire.com/pa5/aethelmearc_coursing/policies.html . Artemisia also has it's charter http://www.artemisia.sca.org/stables/houndsGCharter.htm and rules online. http://www.artemisia.sca.org/stables/houndsRulesRegs.htm
There is no one way to set up your coursing guild/college, and will most likely change as your program grows. Currently in Trimaris, we are set up as a college, with the Kingdom Marshal of the Hunt in charge. The KMotHunt is a very administrative position, keeping track of Handler and Lure Master authorizations, shot records, reporting, meetings, scheduling and coordinating events. The KMotHunt may take as many deputies as he needs to assist with any or all of these tasks. (If we grow significantly next year, I may create regional deputies.) Regardless of who does the work, the KMotHunt is still ultimately responsible. There is a named deputy position, the Houndsmaster/mistress of the Queen's Pack. This person is in charge of the Queen's Pack, its' members, the Kingdom Kennel Lands, and all relations between TRM and the College. As for funds, in our first year, we put in a request to the Kingdom Exchequer for funds to buy our pulleys and drive unit. Since then we have held fund raisers to buy other items, including a basic turn-out. We are currently looking to hold another fund raiser this year to update our turnout and maybe get a couple more pulleys. I hope this helps, cave canum, Randwulf Kingdom Marshal of the Hunt, Trimaris ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 1:51 PM Subject: [SCA_Coursing] A Hound Group in Atenveldt > > Who do I have to contact to put together a Hound group with Atenveldt? > Would we be a House?
