[Elfsea] Highland Games

Tue May 27 08:36:58 PDT 2008

I think we have declined the Highland Games demo this year in lieu of a
demo for the Burleson Public Library, but I will let the appropriate
officers in charge tender the final answer.

Dear Lady,

I've seen nothing re Highland Games except this single email. Is the
Barony still going to participate? Ceatta indicated that no one has yet
asked for the free tickets. No one has contacted me about static and/or
active displays. 

Most of the time the only contact I have with the outside world is via
the internet. This has been the case for the past year. So it's
important to me. (Keeps me from talking to myself. ;)

Anywho, are we still 'ON' for Highland Games? 

YIS,

	To the populace of Elfsea,

	I need to get a firm count of how many of you will be able to
work at our Highland Games Demo this year. We will need individuals to
help with the set-up on Friday, to work the event Saturday and Sunday,
which includes fighters (both heavy and rapier), artisans to provide
samples and work in the A & S area, and water bearers. Then we will need
people to help with the tear-down, packing up and unloading back at the
shed afterward. Please make sure that you CAN and WILL make the demo
before volunteering. Please reply privately to myself and TEs Daire and
Druinne if you would like to volunteer to help with this demo.

	Also, we need an individual to coordinate Highland Games this
year as well. Due to personal reasons,  Lord Ceatta, our normal
coordinator for this demo will be unable to fill this position this
year. Ceatta has said he still can be the liaison with the Highland
Games staff, but we presently do not have anyone to step up and take
charge of the demo itself. 

	This will require the following:

	1)  Getting a firm list of volunteers in order to provide the
Highland Games staff with a count of how many tickets we will need and
distributing those prior to the actual event. Make sure that your
volunteers are aware that they must pay for parking. Last year this was
$5.00 per day.

	2)  Arranging for volunteers to help with the loading of the
shed on Friday, June 6th, around noon and verifying that you have all
the required items for the demo. At this time, Big Blue is unusable and
the Wine & Cheese will not be available. The small blue and gold
baronial pavilion is available, but the blue and white is not waterproof
so would not be a good pavilion for use at this demo. You will need to
make arrangements for a pavilion or two for the A & S displays and the
Baronial presence. 

	3)  You will need to make arrangements for a truck and trailer.

	4)   You will need to coordinate the loading at the shed and
setting up the demo in the designated area at the event site. This
includes setting up the pavilions, list field area and tables for the A
& S displays.

	5)  You will need someone to coordinate the water bearing and
have a pavilion/area set-up for them as well.

	6)  You will need to make a schedule of volunteers to reflect
who is working at what times and make sure that you have enough people
to cover all the areas at all times.

	7)  You will need to make sure that you have a marshal and
enough fighters to have demonstrations in the morning and afternoon each
day.

	8)  You will need to make sure that you have A & S displays, by
contacting artisans and coordinating different types of items.

	All these things are necessary in order to make this demo a
success, so please make sure you can fulfill these requirements prior to
accepting this position.

	Please reply privately to myself and the TEs Daire and Druinne
if you would like to volunteer to coordinate Highland Games.

	Yours In Service, 

	Ascelyn
