Planning Session was a bit on the small side, a lot of great ideas were
exchanged and I want to take a few moments to share some of the highlights with
you. And I thank those who took time to join us.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> - I have
had a request to make room for a Viking encampment area as well as a later
period Roman exhibit, and based on the footprints, I think I have a good chance
of fitting them in. Having a place for our entire Viking/Norse
“cast" to relax and interact with the patrons should be nice.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Carleton of Skorragardr will oversee the workers' Hospitality Tent and in the
coming days she will be sending out e-mails with further details. From
what she has laid out already, it sounds like this important part of our Fair
weekend will be better than ever.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>FIELD COORDINATOR</span></font></u><font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> - It was
suggested a Field Coordinator be appointed to oversee the operation of the List
Field and coordinate to have Fighters and Marshals ready when needed, and to
slot in other activities, such as Drumming, Dancing and other Demos when the
Fighters are at rest. Lord Christian (I do hope I spelled that
correctly), Wiesenfeuer Rapier Marshal, has volunteered to handle this task.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR </span></font></u><font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>- To help
make Wolfgang's life easier and keep his hair from falling out, it was
recommended a Volunteer Coordinator be available all 3 days to make sure key
areas of our encampment are properly staffed, and that no one gets stuck in one
duty, or wanders about with nothing to do when they want to help. These
areas include the A&S Tent, the Hospitality Tent (very important), the
Ropes and other such areas. This position is still open, and I will soon
follow up with an e-mail calling for a volunteer(s).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> - Baron Donnchadh
has volunteered to look into a couple possible locations in the area and see if
they are available that Saturday night. We still need someone to organize
the Revel (it's not too difficult); so please let me know if you are
interested. And if you have a suggestion for a location, let me know as
well. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>RECRUITING</span></font></u><font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> - We will
all serve as Deputy Hospitaler at Fair, and it was strongly suggested a very
conspicuous Recruiting Point be set up, probably right next to A&S.
This way, if a "hot prospect" nips at the line, you can begin the
recruiting process and then escort them to the table to "clinch the
sale."<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>TENT PAINTING</span></font></u><font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> - Several
folks suggested we begin a campaign to paint at least one of the GPs before
Fair and use that as our Arts and Sciences tent. That will require
finding an indoor place where the canvas can be laid out, painted and allowed
to dry. I've been told it is not a hard process, and with the right
supplies and guidance, can be done in a day or 2, depending on the complexity
of the pattern and the number of folks who help. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
