<DIV>Hey gilli, i am gearing up to open my merchant stand. I know i have extra gear and stuff laying around and it was my plan to start producing prize bows from time to time. Get with me and we can see about doing some prizes for 2006. Believe me, it would be a thrill to let some of this extra stuff collecting dust go. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Could even do a raffle for a bow or Xbow if the proceeds go for memberships ect... Would be an honor to be part of that cause.</DIV>

<DIV>Now there's some thinking out side the box. And since we're not in that box, I guess that's were we should be thinking. Let's talk about it to night.</DIV>

<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>
<DIV>Cheers,</DIV>
