We think Aquel and Johanna have done an excellent 
job, so there isn't
much that needs fixing or changing.  They did a 
terrific job on
reaching out to the newer members of the group, and 
it shows in the
Barony's vitality - we'd continue to do that.
<p>
In general, we'd like to continue the same confident 
pace of the group
while continuing to encourage new activities and 
diverse events.
Yeliz is keen on making sure we keep the various 
Baronial champions up
to date, and perhaps sponsoring some new ideas to 
involve other
non-martial groups more - maybe more A&S 
opportunities.  Marian
brought up the period Olympics in Coucil, which 
sounds wonderful.  We
had already been discussing a sort of decathalon 
idea, and finding a
period reference is great.
<p>
We would probably have more pagentry than Aquel and 
Johanna have had,
since we think it really adds to the atmosphere.  Fu 
is interested in
running court in a variety of styles -- adapting the 
style to the
period of the event, in many cases, or holding a 
Chinese Baronial
Court because of his persona. Viking, Roman and 
French courts appeal
as well.  There is a Carolingian processional march 
that Tibicen wrote
that should get more attention, too.
<p>
We love the variety of Carolingian pursuits; to us, 
the diversity of
activities is what brings so many people together. 
We'd try not to
change anything that people think is going well, but 
we'd like even
more people to have even more fun!  The Baron and 
Baroness can act as
the focal point to get communication flowing between 
the barony's
groups, and that could bring interesting new things.
