[Namron] Events

[Jennifer Jackson]

I think one of the things we need to look at when making the decisions about sites to use is the return we receive for the expense.  To use Danielle's example of the equestrian tourney, is the approximate $2000 more we apparently paid to use this site worth the pleasure of continuing to sponsor an equestrian tourney?  I would like to know the financial committee's', both past and current,  thoughts on this.

I am not trying to encourage finger pointing here.  We need to evaluate what we, as the populace of this Barony, thought about this event.  We need to encourage the exchange of ideas so we can work together for future events.  We have a work crew who is willing to jump in and do some improvements to make Camp Cimmeron better for the SCA, but we want to direct all this energy and enthusiasm for the best of the Barony.  It is my hope that Danielle and the many others who worked so hard on the planning of this years Protectorate will not take this as a personal attack, and will want to be part of the evaluation process.  I know just how difficult it is to hear complaints about an event that you have worked so hard to produce, but that is the only way for everyone to make good decisions in the future.

  Greetings!
    For all of those who have ideas about sites to use, or would like to see changes in future events, I have a suggestion... put in a bid to be an event steward.  As an event steward, (or co event steward if that would be more feasible) you would get to make decisions about things such as which site to use, how much to charge, and other important decisions.  If these sound like decisions that you would like to make, do some research to find a site, make a bid and submit it.  It is easy to sit on the list and make suggestions, but it is much more productive to take those suggestions and do something about future events.  We looked at new and different sites for Protectorate, but the reasons that we decided not to use them were specific to Protectorate XXX.  You may want to use a different site for the next one.  I am very much in favor of finding new sites, and I wish you luck.  Please remember though, if your bid does not meet the requirements needed to put on one of the championship competitions (i.e. the equestrian tourney) it may not be accepted.  
  In Service,
  Lady Danielle de Marseilles
