<DIV>Good point, </DIV>
<DIV> 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.</DIV>
<DIV> 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.</DIV>
<DIV> 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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
