Hello all, and welcome to the Tavern Times, The Official Newsletter of the Cock & Pullet Pub and Mavericks Gaming Hall.

Accounting Department

So far this year, we have raised $130.00 for Camp Moore. Philip Gallanders has donated $100.00 for seed money to start the year, and the dealers or Mavericks got together on New years Eve at the Frankl hacienda in Chatsworth for a friendly game of poker and raised another $20.00 to add to the pot.

Our goal for the 2006 year is $2500.00.

Raffle Prizes

This year we are going to have a few raffle prizes for our donation to Camp Moore. We will be raffling off a quilt made by Cindy Robertson, and also a miniature Mavericks and Cock & Pullet Pub.The raffle tickets will sell for $3.00 per ticket or two tickets for $5.00. We will be selling them at all events, and will draw the winning ticket at our last event preceding our annual trip to Camp Moore.We will also be raffling off a second Miniature Cock & Pullet Pub and Mavericks, and the donations for that Prize will go to the Russell Kevin Miller Memorial Scholarship.

The tickets for the quilt will sell for $ 5.00 each or 5 tickets for $ 20.00.

It was determined that the raffle prize drawing will be after the Fresno event in October.

2006 Meeting of The Cock and Pullet Plank Owners
and Maverick's Gaming Hall

The meeting was held Philip Gallanders’ home.

Those in attendance were:

Maverick Miller, Busted Flush Gallanders, Chris “the Brew master” Benintende, Sam “the Enforcer” Frankl, Richard “trick card” Holaday, Mitch “Mumbles” Zankich, Jim “the shill” Tebbetts, Miss Anne Tebbetts-Frankl, Miss Charlene Zankich, and Miss Theresa Rodriguez.

A recap of last year was presented, and a hearty “THANK YOU” was relayed from the good Folk at Camp Moore to all the members.

It was decided that the Cock & Pullet Pub and Maverick’s Gaming Hall would be under the umbrella of WBSHA for tax purposes. All Monies collected would be turned over to WBSHA at the end of each event, to be kept in a separate account, and said funds would then be delivered at the end of the season to Camp Moore in the form of a single check drawn from the WBSHA separate account.

The 2006 events for the Cock & Pullet Pub and Maverick’s Gaming Hall are

As is usual, we may find ourselves invited to other events that will be announced at a later date.Please keep in mind that the NCWA is proposing a possible “Reenactors only Weekend” at Tres Pinos. If they do schedule this event, we have been pre-invited to bring the Cock & Pullet Pub and Maverick’s Gaming Hall to this event.

The persona development of each person associated with the Cock & Pullet Pub and Maverick’s Gaming Hall was discussed and it was asked that each person work on developing their own character that is consistent with the person they portray while working at the Pub or the Tables. As each member submits a history of their persona, I shall publish it in the Tavern Times (space permitting in each Newsletter until they are all published).

The idea of home brewed Root Beer or Sarsaparilla was raised and it was decided that Jim “the shill” Tebbetts and Chris “the Brew Master” Benintende would look into the cost of brewing the items to have for sale to the public and reenactors during “public times” at events. As the cost and the availability of these products come available, you will be notified in the Newsletter.

What's Brewing

This is to be a regular article from our Brew Master, Mr. Chris Benintende. In it, he plans to give us an update on what he plans to be making for the upcoming events as far as his choice of Ales, Stouts, and Miscellaneous Adult Beverages. I am looking forward to his first article, and his input in this Newsletter.
