[Ravensfort] Camping work weekend atThe Stones

>From the Autocrat of 
               A Day at The Stones of Raven's Fort :

This is a post Populace meeting update on the work weekend at The Stones which starts this evening.

I will be on site around 10ish Saturday morning.  If you beat me to the site please start on the Equestrian area.  

Meals for Saturday night will be on an individual or clan level.  Many of the populace are going into Stargate to pay last respects so are unsure of their plans.

If you arrive at the site and no one is around we may be at Saint David's dealing with the showers or food.  There will be campers on site over night.  

My contact number is 281-367-3409.  Looking forward to seeing you.

Peace,
Vlod NotVlad

  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
