Officer Reports: Seneschal –Helewys This is my final council meeting for me as Darton Seneschal. I would like to thank you all for your support during the past 2 years. It is hard to believe that 2 years ago, I had plans and ideas. The first year (2019) we achieved many of them – being doing “make-stuff” days or holding some type of event each month. Then 2020 hit, and due to a situation and rulings beyond our control, the momentum halted for a good portion of the year. My other plan of having an updated website will be realised very soon (this month!). With 2021 fast approaching, the new leadership - consisting of Miles and Caitriona, will take over the reins, I am sure that Darton and the Sherwater will continue to thrive and prosper and that the next couple of years will be eventful and enjoyable for everyone. I intend to continue with being an active member and am looking on taking on a role which currently is not filled position in Darton – it is not a compulsory position, but one which I hope that will help enhance Darton and assist Miles and Caitriona. More about this will be revealed in 2021.
