ES - A Final Report on Tanglewood

[Julie Self]

Sounds like a good site.  How large, and where, is the merchant area going 
to be?

>This last weekend, after days of rain the week before, Fearghus, Honour,
>Rixende, and I all visited the Tanglewood Forest site.  I will leave to
>others their own reports, but I thought I would share some information with
>you.

>The fighting field remains in excellent form.  They have not placed down 
>the
>grass yet, but they will I've been assured.  Even without it, the ground on
>the fighting field was more than firm enough to support fighting.

>The owner has recieved funding from a bank to develop the wooden pavilion

>site
>with flush toilets and showers.  These will not be done for Springfaire, 
>but
>should be done shortly there after.  They are seeking a professional
>contractor to build these structures.  If you know of someone who could
>handle this (including getting a foundation poured for the bathhouse) then
>contact me and I will get them in touch with the individual.  Included in
>these improvements obviously will be bringing the water further into the
>site and to more than 1 location.

>As a suprise when we arrived was that they have begun building a new
>building on site that will serve as first aid station.  Our chirurgeons 
>will
>have a location to take people, out of the sun, and the bustle, to treat
>them, or organize whatever activities they need to.  This will be a water
>location eventually, but is not currently (ie, not by Springfaire).
>
>The Amtgard Kingdom has an inter-kingdom event scheduled for the site in
>October (their Kingdoms are roughly equal to our Baronies).  By this event
>they hope to have a Castle errected on the site for Melees.  This will be
>available to us should we have a desire to use the site again after that
>time-period.
>
>The only part of Lord Fearghus' comments that I will share concern handicap
>mobility.  From his statements to me, with his scooter he will have no
>problems getting around the site.  During his visit he was only in his 
>wheel
>chair, and while the sand and unpacked ground were to soft to make it easy
>for him to move himself, the packed areas were not a problem at all.  This
>means that all the roads (which are packed) will not be a problem.  On the
>unpacked areas, a little assistance from Honour and I got him moving 
>without
>a problem.  These are my understandings of his experiences, and I welcome
>anyone with concerns to raise them and I am sure he will give you an
>opinion.

>PS : As no one decided to make the trip to the site and clear an extra
>campsite for their household/group, there will be no reserved camping at
>Springfaire except for the stewards encampment, and the Crown's encampment.
>There will be an area, on the back part of the large field, that will be 
>for
>period pavilions only.  This camping will be limited, will be first come
>first serve, and will be adjacent to most of the fighting areas and the
>Crown encampment.
