as a mistake and hopefully will not "blast" you. I would likewise hope that
similar consideration be extended to Elfsea's officers and autocrats when they
volunteer their time and resources to further our group's interests, even if
they might fall short of one's personal expectations. Reflecting upon the
chivalric virtues that our Society values, I encourage *everyone* to strive for
a measure of civility, courtesy, honor and respect in your communications,
whether public or private; be they criticism of one's efforts or in
response to someone's criticism. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

that the website is online. Since I was being quoted on the pages, I
appreciated the chance to review them before they were published, though as you
say, it is the seneschal who signs off on them. The site was sent to me
primarily because (while the virtual scribe is away at Pennsic) I had
exclusive access to a server where they were going to be published.
Nevertheless, </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN

<DIV>Since you responded to me privately...</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>I didn't particually appreciate yout tone.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>You don't need their excellancies ok to put up a web site, because
if there changes can be made after it's up. No where does it say tha thte
B&B have to sign off on a website. Actually that's your job as
seneschal, not theirs. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>The ad from the black star would be great to start with. But he
didn't. That link should go up at least 2 months if not more in
advance. As soon as you knew you were going to have the event it should
have a web site. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>I just now looked at the web site. Especially since you are using a
new site, one that is dry, and very primative. (By the way why is the
site dry? Collin county may be a dry county but they serve alcohol in
resturants, and they allow alcohol in the indoor arena.) People, as in
folks who come here from outside your group, need to know these
things... You won't have many campers at this event, and I'd say that 50
percent will day trip. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>This is what the web site is missing...</DIV>
<DIV>What is the site fee? Is there a price break for children? ( I just
now found the pricing, it is in an inconvienent and not easily accessible
place) What is the side board luncheon, What is the menu? How many are
you going to feed? Will you provide disposable plates and such or do I
need to bring feast gear. Will tables be provided or do I need to bring
my own? Where will the side board be on site? </DIV>
<DIV>(That better be a great side board for a $10 site fee and a primiative
site with no amenities at that. And considering you linked to the county
web site and we all know now how much you are paying for the site it better be
a terrific side board.) Are you using site water? Is it potable? Do I need to
bring my own water? Are there flush toilets? Is there shower
faciities? The map is hard to read on website, it should be blown up.
Where are the closest hotels? Is that a pond I see in the
picture? If it is there needs to be a statement concerning parents and
children and no life guard. That is a hazard that needs to be addessed
ASAP.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Those are pretty pictures... what is a swiss five? Will letters of
intent be acceptable at the event? Who are the marshals in charge? What
is a Bear Pit for archery?</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>All of these things should already be decided upon and in the web site at
least 2 months ago. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Richard is wrong.. and he should know this.. to affectively advertise
your event you have to advertise in the medium that will reach the most people
with little or no cost or effort. That medium is the web. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>And on the paid membership thing. I did pay my membership just
before round table, I don't have my black star yet. Not everyone is a
paid member. and you as the seneschal should have records of how many
people arn't members at your events by looking at the sign in sheets?
</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>By not advertising on-line can you afford to loose that revenu.
Every person who walks through that gate helps your bottom line. Any one
of those persons won't return if they get pissed of becasue they have a bad
experience because of information they did not get before hand. Can
Elfsea afford that?</DIV>
