<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Greetings!</DIV>
<DIV> 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. </DIV>
<DIV>In Service,</DIV>
<DIV>Lady Danielle de Marseilles</DIV>
