I plan to do so, as of Baronial <br>Twelfth Night. <br><br>If you are interested in the position, please send a letter to the Baron and <br>Baroness, the seneschal, and me stating your intention and qualifications<br>by 15 November (e-mail addresses below). This will allow sufficient time <br>to choose a successor and make an orderly transfer of the office.<br><br>You absolutely do not need to be a calligrapher or illuminator to perform <br>the duties of this position, since this is basically an administrative job. It <br>involves receiving assignments from the Baron and Baroness, distributing <br>them to willing scribes, ensuring scroll delivery, and maintaining records. <br>Therefore, you will need to be discreet and organized, and have access to <br>e-mail. The administrative functions of the job take a few hours a month <br>(less if there is not an event); any time spent on art is up to you. <br><br>If you need any additional information to make a decision, please contact <br>me.<br><br> -Aidan ni Leir<br></div></body></html>
