Kiwi Living visits the SCA

Tue, 2016-08-30 21:06 — admin

Chef Mike van de Elzen recently enlisted the help of Shannon Wanty (our very own Vettoria di Giovanni) to cook a Renaissance Italian feast for TVNZ's Kiwi Living show.

All of us who were present can attest that it was an excellent meal and the food tasted as good as it looked!

Thanks to the TV crew for inviting us to be part of the show - it wasn't quite our usual feast experience with cameras everywhere, but it was an interesting and enjoyable experience.

Consultation – proposal to extend the Bullying & Harassment Policy pilot period

Tue, 2014-05-20 10:45 — Alasdair Muckart

The committee has received a suggestion to leave the policy in pilot phase for a longer period – preferably until a bullying or harassment complaint has been processed using the new policy - and now seeks feedback on that proposal. Full details are available by clicking the title above.

90 Day Pilot of SCANZ and SCAA Bullying & Harrassment Policy

Fri, 2014-04-11 19:19 — Alasdair Muckart

There have been, and continue to be, a rise in complaints of bullying and harassment in the kingdom. In response to this, and the feedback that Australia’s policy wasn’t comprehensive enough, and that New Zealand didn’t have a policy addressing B&H at all, the Board, Committee and Kingdom Seneschal have discussed at length the importance of having a policy as soon as possible, and what options we had available to us to provide this to our members and participants. A thorough discussion was had about the potential to launch the policy as a pilot vs sending out the policy for consultation. After comprehensive discussions and considerations, we have decided to move forward with a 90-day PILOT for the Bullying & Harassment Policy. We are aware that going live with a policy (even as a pilot) is not standard procedure. Under ordinary circumstances we would not go forward with a policy until we have requested and considered feedback. Unfortunately, we have an urgent need for a new policy. Please click the title above to read the full announcement.

Minutes: Meeting on policy for participation by children

Wed, 2013-03-27 14:13 — Katherine Davies

An informal meeting was held at Canterbury Faire, 2013, to discuss whether we need a policy on participation by minors (comparable to the SCAA's Child Protection Policy), and what that should contain. Minutes here.Since then, the committee have been soliciting feedback from interested members of the populace, and working on a draft policy.
