<DIV><FONT size=4>When using a restraint for a meeting not all of the
people attending the meeting are required to purchase food as long as some
people get something to eat or drink the restraint will be pacified. Any
place we use has to recoup the cost of using the area, there is the electric for
the lights, heat, water for the toilets and someone to open and close the
facility and to clean it. If you want a free place then you use a park or some
ones residence (some one want to donate electric for the lights, heat, water for
the toilets and clean it before and after the meeting) I did it when I was in
McAlester. If you are lucky you may find some one who is willing to donate a
area but rember even if it is not being used at the time of the meeting it
cost some one for the comfort that you are wanting that you cannot get in having
the meeting outside (to hot, cold, windy, bugs.....). We have GP median tent we
could set it up for the meeting but people would say it is to much work for the
time it was used and someone would have to supply the heat and something to set
on. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>At one time the Barony had a place it was called the
Loft. I am not privy to the cost but I know the Barony had less than a $1,000 in
the bank . At that time the Barony had very little money at that time, events
were cheep (yes 2.50 site and 1.50 feast cooked on a camp fire, well try to
forget the half raw chicken and killed on site sheep, also the spaghetti
buffet. LOL) Maybe we could find a permanent place to rent. It was nice to
have a place to stay if you traveled to a Namron revel (only Annabel
and Angus, Ace) had ever offered me a place to stay when I would come from
McAlester to Norman for Medfair after the closing of the Loft. I Have been to
several indoor events and at 12:00pm they would say thanks for coming but we
have to close and go home. I had to sleep in my car or find a motel. A Revel
should be dry if you have to leave because you cannot stay till the morning I
rember a Medfair revel and the Loft floor was covered wall to wall with
campers.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>When we have to have a event the site that has to have a full
industrial kitchen, heated main hall, cabins, and full Men/Women showers
with flushies. The fond memories of Lake Taylor, Lake Arcadia, and Dirtybird
(Thunderbird).</FONT></DIV>

the options for meeting places and the reasons to choose them or not choose
them were covered at populace. It would be tiresome to review them
here, in this unofficial forum, as opposed to Populace, which is *the*
official way to distribute
information.</SPAN></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
