: FROM THE ATENVELDT KINGDOM SENESCHAL
: Greetings!
:
: Let me begin by saying that we all are looking forward to hosting a
: wonderful, successful Estrella War XXI at Estrella Mountain Park on
: February 16-21 of 2005 in Goodyear, Arizona. The War Autocrats have
: been working diligently on planning this event for months (yes,
: they're working already!), the site contract has been negotiated and
: completed, and the Knowne World can look forward to a glorious
: conflux of Honor, Chivalry, and Combat in our mild desert clime! No
: one knows how to host a better journey into the Current Middle Ages
: than the Kingdom of Atenveldt!
:
: But as we plan the 2005 War, our thoughts also move to planning
: Estrella Wars in future years. The past has shown us the many factors
: that can influence the SCA's ability to find and use viable sites for
: an event with 5,000 to 7,000 attendees. And it is clear that while
: Estrella Mountain Park is currently meeting our needs, they are (as a
: County Park) unable to provide us with a multi-year agreement. As
: development in the Estrella Park area continues, the Kingdom would
: like to have possible alternative sites as a backup if Estrella
: Mountain Park becomes unavailable. These backup sites would be
: considered for hosting the War in 2006, 2007, or thereafter if
: Estrella Mountain Park cannot be used. While we do not see that
: happening for a while, we need to have a plan in place to deal with
: the possibility should it occur.
:
: To this end, this Kingdom Seneschal has appointed Duke Jonathon von
: Trotha as a Deputy Kingdom Seneschal (Special Projects). His first
: project in this new position is to research and compile a list of
: potential future Estrella War sites. Once he has developed a list, he
: will also coordinate evaluation of those sites to determine their
: suitability for the SCA. This will include involving people from all
: over Atenveldt (former Crowns, War Commanders, Autocrats, Kingdom
: Officers, and members of the populace) to look at the financial,
: geographic, parking, accessibility, fighting, archery, and camping
: facilities of each potential site.
:
: As the Kingdom starts this site search, we would ask that individual
: SCA members NOT contact potential sites themselves. Instead, we
: would ask that you provide His Grace with the contact information so
: he can make all official SCA contacts with Site Owners. If you have
: information about a potential War Site, or you wish to assist His
: Grace with this project, please contact him (see his contact
: info in the Regnum).
:
: With this new position, His Grace will need assistance from all who
: have knowledge of the Lands of Atenveldt, and the running of a
: successful Estrella War. Please assist him in any way that you can.
: Your efforts will help assure that the Estrella War continues as a
: Premier event in the SCA for many years to come.
