Authorisations database
https://authorisations.lochac.sca.org/
The password is updated for each new Earl Marshal, rather than being handed down.
Talk to Nicodemus about getting a tour of the replacement database, and then approve or decline it progressing to live. It'll give us the capability to have online auth cards. Just needs some decisions made about who can see what - eg can all marshals see everyone's authorisation status. I just didn't get time for it.

A Google Drive has been established with the Earl Marshal email address to host documents: copies of reports, PDFs of past rule sets etc. The password has been handed down, but should be changed once handover is complete.

There's a Trello account, if you're interested /used to using it for tracking tasks. Was set up in 2019 when we were working on rules stuff, but kind of forgotten about. Login: marshal@lochac.sca.org The password has been handed down, but should be changed once handover is complete.
