So what does the Chamberlain do?

This is the person who co-ordinates schedules and sends RSVP to the Event Stewards of each event that TRM will attend.  Included in their letter to event staff will usually be a request to be put in contact with any Royal Liaison, if there is one. The letter also asks if there are any meetings TRM will be asked to attend or any special requests for their time during the event as well as setting out TRM schedule and planned meetings for the day.  There is a brief mention of likes and dislikes, food allergies, and so on of TRM. The Chamberlain also sends regrets to any invitations TRM will not be able to attend.  If possible the Chamberlain will alert the event staff as to the approximate arrival time of TRM.

If you want to know what events TRM will be attending, would like them to participate in a meeting or any activity, want to know what they’ll need at an event please contact the Chamberlain.

So what does the Chancellor do?

This is the person who assists TRM at events and who is in charge of retainers. She has many responsibilities. Some of which include but are not limited to making sure TRM have the day's schedule, The royalty room/space and accessories are set up, They arrive on time (if possible) to Their appointed engagements, make any necessary appointments and changes to Their schedule, ensure that the thrones are in place for court and make sure that Their day runs as smoothly as possible. She also handles making sure Their feast gear is taken care of before and after the meal, makes sure there is plenty of help (if needed) in packing up at the end of the event. The Chancellor takes care of any gifts to TRM and make sure they are listed so the appropriate responses can be made. Often times, these duties can be delegated to trusted, capable individuals, freeing up the Chancellor to personally attend to TRM needs.

If you are interested in assisting as a retainer at an event (even for just a bit) please contact our Chancellor and let her know what events you are available to attend and help out at.  Assistance to help unload and set up, take down and pack up are always needed as are retainers throughout the day.
