Not to rain on your parade, but if you set a minimum, it is not a donation,
but a site fee. If you say "We need at least $5/adult to cover our costs, but
pay what you can", you probably have a donation.
Sounds like fun.

Good point,
I was kind of scratching my head about that one too. But, not to worry,
for every "problem" there's a solution, here's a couple. No so called site fee,
but I might very well be willing to raffle off one of my handmade longbows,
and, one of my handmade 15th century knives with a tooled leather scabbard.
Raffle tickets would probably be about two bucks a pop for a chance at these
items, with the option to buy as many tickets as you like. Also, no free lunch
this go around, have to talk to Gilli, but I imagine it would shake out
something like this; Guests would have a choice of A: bringing their own food, B:
paying one price for the "full meal deal", which includes breakfast, lunch,
and dinner, or C: dining "A la carte", basically paying for meals separately
as they go. Just my suggestion, Gilli may have other ideas as to
methodology/pricing.
Again, the intent, in addition to lots of shooting, and lots of cool
classes, is a membership drive, so all proceeds collected will go toward
purchasing SCA memberships. Applicants for membership will need to sign up for the
drawing that will be held, so obviously only folks that show up/sign up will be
considered.
One last point, that may sound a bit repetitious, even negative to some,
but still needs to be made absolutely clear. This is a PRIVATE event, in no
way affiliated with the local SCA branch, the Shire of Middleford. Therefore
Middleford has absolutely zero claim to any funds generated, or fun generated
for that matter ;-) Hate to be that way, but you also need to know they were
given first crack at hosting this thing, and chose, for their own reasons,
not to. Their loss, potentially a handful of newly paid SCA members' gain.
Cheers,
Robert of Yorkshire
