Well, Bordermarch Autum Melees will be here in a few weeks.
We (the Populace of Raven's Fort) have agreed to help
Bordermarch with the security of the event. In the past
three years we have had about three to four hundred attend
the event. This year we expect over 500 or more with Glen
Aben planing to attend with thier own army. This is how Gulf
War started years ago. The last two years we were able to
handle the security of the event with a few people on roving
patrol keeping close contact with the Gate Keeper and the
Autocrat. The main focus was to be visible for any one who
had an emergency be able to contact security, have security
look at the situation and see what kind of help was needed.
If it was of a legal issue the Autocrat was contacted and if
it was a medical issue the Chiurgin was called. Most
problems are going to be getting supplies or a Chiurgin to a
location. I have found that five areas will be of importance
for security issues. Untill
the activities start the Gate, Parking, Camping and
Merchants Row will be of intrest. When the competitions are
active the castle area will be added to the list.
This is what I sugest we do:
The Gate Keeper will have a radio of their own, the
Chiurgin in Charge (CIC) will have their own radio, and the
Autocrat will have a radio. The Autocrat is Baron Santiago.
These are their own radios and will not need to be given to
them. Security will have five (5) radios available for
rotation.
Merchant Row will have a Security Check point with one of
the merchants. this will give us an established point of
contact for that area and all the merchants will be aware of
the location if they neen help.
A rover will be on duty 24 hrs. with radio contact. The
rover will be in a farm mule (ATV) with two seats and a load
bucket in the rear. Checking on the parking area, merchants
row and the camping area are important. The rover will need
looking for unattended fires, gas lanterns and candles.
Wandering young childeren who should be with their parents
and any activities that that should not be happening at the
event. It is up to the Autocrat to decide what to do.
Parking will need to be organized and kept in line so that
no one is blocked in or or not able to get around each
other. ( a parking area layout will be needed.) Long
trailers may need some special parking needs. The parking
area may require some one on duty to see that all vehicles
are parked correctly.
Water Bearers / Chiurgins Point will need a radio for
emergencies. This will need to be only during the days
activities near the castle where most of the main activities
are each day.
I dont think that having a locked in three hour shift
schedule written up now will work at this point. having a
list of committed people who will look at their schedule for
the event and check in with Baron Brian when they have their
camp all set up would be better in this situation. I will be
in charge of security during the event. If any one has a
prefrance of which day and which hours they can commit to
helping with security they can contact me at
