SESSION FORMAT : Break Out by Office  Instruction will focus on specific Kingdom offices.  Each office will have an assigned area with plenty of tables and seating, within the large meeting room where they can break out and learn. For Example: There will be a Seneschal’s Track for branch Seneschals, managed by the Kingdom Seneschal, Sir Philip. He will create the syllabus and make arrangements with his deputies or previous Seneschals, or other experienced people, to provide separate presentations during the weekend for the attendees to the Seneschals track. If any Kingdom officer would like a copy of Sir Philip’s outline he has agreed to share it. The same is true for each of the Kingdom Offices, Exchequers, Heralds, Marshals, A&S, Chronicler, Webwright, DEIB, Chatelaine. (If all of them agree to attend or send deputies).
