[Ravensfort] Camping work weekend atThe Stones

[byzytym]

Greetings for the Autocrat of  

                          A Day at The Stones of Raven's Fort :

 

I want to remind everyone that this weekend ( February 6th, 7th & 8th ) the Barony will hold its first work weekend of the year at The Stones.  Baron Brian has opened the site for camping from Friday evening till Sunday afternoon.  So far no plans have been made for food Saturday night.  I am open for suggestions on a group thing or if we want to do our own individual meals.  Both are workable.

 

There are three and a half projects that we need to make some headway on this weekend.

 

1)  At the top of the list are the showers.  I am hoping that we come to a conclusion on building materials at populace so we can purchase what is needed and have progress to show at weekends end.  

 

2)  Change the "mouse trap" swing on the kitchen and storeroom doors.  We have already purchased the hinges and could finish this project in one day.

 

3)  Clear storm fall and logging fall from an Equestrian area and build stalls.  I have been in contact with Lorraine Fraser who has given me a basic design for a 14x14 stall using landscape timbers set in concrete with drilled holes and rope.  I believe it is very like what Baron Brian already had in mind.  I will try to get some prices and put pen to paper.  We need to talk about this at populace this Thursday.  It is something worthwhile to work for, but if there not enough in the coffers right now we might have to be creative.

 

1/2 )  There will be storm and logging fall all over the site.  I encourage individuals to clear the branches and trees from their personal campsites.  If you need help ask.  A crew can make short work of the worst part of even a large tree.  I am not really concerned with having the site spotless for this event.  As long it is not in the way we do not need to deal with it before the Spring Event.  That said, we should make every effort to clear all of the fall before Defender.

 

When the event gets closer we will need to mow the List Field, the Archery Range, the Equestrian Field, the Feast Area, the Parking Lot, around the Showers, around the Bonfire and of course The Stones.  Again, I am not really concerned with anything else.  There is something really beautiful about the lush green of early spring.  With any luck we will have a few wild flowers.  

 

I look forward to spending time back on site with everyone working for a happy, productive Raven's Fort.  If anyone has any other suggestions please let me hear form you.  

 

In service to the Barony,

Vlod NotVlad
