[Ravensfort] Populace meeting

[Sdw Sdw]

Greetings,

I have also heard that the equestrian people who visited the site at Crown Tournament was not happy about the secondary southern site either. There was concerns about not enough room and safety issues, which also made me think about the archery people too. There might not be enough room for them either. I think the southern site is ok for a Crown Tournament or even a Queens Champion , you known a single category type event, but i don't think one could host a larger event out there such as a Defender.

  As for other concerns such as officer positions: I think there are at least two people who have put in for the seneschal position. Lady Klar of the Misty Vale has just been appointed the new herald. I also think ( and i could be wrong, at least one person is considering putting in for the reeves position.) One other person is thinking about putting in an application when it comes time for the chroniclers position, but depends if that person gets another office before then. If I'm not mistaken, Lady Runa expressed interest in the Knights Marshal position, or maybe she was stirring up interest in the position for others to put in for the position. I personally think Lady Runa would be a really cool Knights Marshal (you go girl). Don't let me discourage anyone for putting in for a office I have just mentioned. Having several applications for every office really looks good. It shows the Kingdom officials that there is lots of interest in our group and
 that we're strong and viable. 

IT  WOULD BE NICE IF SOME OF THE NEWER PEOPLE WOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND PUT IN FOR A OFFICE.   In saying that , we are a voluntary society and we can' make anyone do anything that they do not want too. But it would be nice if they would step up to the plate. On a personal level I have put in for a Local position and another position  on a higher level, just trying to do my part. I personally feel that the barony is doing just fine for now. I don't think its in any danger of going away. 

At this time I issue a challenge to all the new people and even some of the older ones who have not held an office in a couple of years to step up to the plate and serve your local group. Any one up for a challenge? If you are here is the kingdom website to download your office application.  http://www.ansteorra.org/publications/forms/      Any takers? Come on... Go for it... You'll love it...

In Service to my Kingdom and Barony,
Your humble servant,
Lord Malcolm De Crauford

I have to agree with Irial about the southern site.  However a nice site it is, the Stones site should be our number one priority at this time.  With Defender being our next event, the Stones need our attention.  If the Gambers feel that "termination" is what needs to be done then let it be done.  I have heard that the equestrian community will not come out to the Southern site due to the fact that it is to small to hold an Equestrian event safely, and also the fact that they can not get their rigs into the site due to the driveway configuration.  Also, I know that the Archery community will not come out there due to safety issures also.

I have not posted for a while because I have spent the winter quite ill.  Now that I have recovered I plan on being more active once more.  If no one will step forward to be Reeve then I will do so.  I have extensive business background, including accounting.   
As for the Timbrend Forest site, I weigh in the Stones needs attending as that is our next event.  It would be impossible for Defender to be held at the southern site, while lovely it is far too small.  There has been an increase in equestrian interest and we would lose that at such a small site.  If the owner is disgruntled with this sentiment then perhaps he should reconsider losing our work force and talents we offer if he would "terminate our agreement" because we are attending the Stones.
It is unreasonable to expect year-long labor commitments from our group while other groups spend 2-3 weeks on-site prep time on their sites, and  our on-site prep time for the northern site hovers around a month, and this arrangement works perfectly well. 
Irial (who will put in Reeve application)
