[Ansteorra-archery] Royal Rounds at Events

[Ld.blackmoon]

greetings 

 on that note: 
don't forget to enter your hand made stuff in a &s , get help with the documentation if you need it , but enter it regardless.
help out at gate ( while wearing your arm guard, etc. let people know that your an archer , but also let them see that you do other things as well ..

also .... event season is starting again ..... that means pay attention to who is doing what, and when you feel that they are at an award level , send in award recs for them , tell your friends and fellow archers , so that they can also send in award recs if they feel the same way .....

Be Safe , Be Happy, Have Fun .

  We can't just claim Sunday. It still requires the permission and agreement from the Host group and the Autocrats. Some sites require that we are off-site by noon. So we have to tread carefully or we will be thrown back to the boonies and be worse off than we were. They would all remember what problems we were.


  If we are allowed to stay late or do something on Sunday it may require that we get up, pack camp, get our area cleaned up, and then we can go shoot so that they are not waiting on us.


  Also, it may require that a visiting archery marshal volunteer to run it since the local one may have other duties to help get site cleaned up so everyone can leave.


  I am not opposed to it but we have come a long ways from being the outcasts, I do not want to give that up!


  One of the things that TRMs and TRHs all look at: Are they Archers that just happen to be in the SCA or are they in the SCA and just happen to do Archery. When they look at people for awards and for groups that they want to support and activities that they want to recognize and support this is what they judge it on. If we focus too hard on Archery and do not support and help the rest, they will see it and it will affect how they treat us. I do not see this as a bad thing. We all have to work together to make the SCA work. No single group can survive on it's own. They would all be destined for failure. The SCA works only as long as we work as a team and support each other.


  So, if you are wanting to do more archery at an event, get in contact with the local Archery Marshal, Seneschal, Autocrat, B&B and ASK if it is possible and what can you do to help make it possible.

    Well perhaps a Sunday Event should be standard for us. Then it will be
    all about Archery and if there are other events to
    be attended on Saturdays we will not conflict. This is exactly what
    happened at Elfsea defender, we ran the RR on Sunday
    from 9-11. The archery champion was delayed on Saturday from 2 PM till
    almost 4 PM due to other events not being finished.
    Sooo, I am just saying, let's claim Sundays, and go from there!
