<DIV><FONT size=4>I may still have a plastic pallet beside my garage. I'll
try to remember to go look and see if I can get it out of the weeds. Just
looked (and I'm having a lovely slow rain - bragging here) and the plastic
pallet is gone but there is a wooden one. No idea what kind of shape it is
in. Will wait until after the rain to pull it out. It may end up on
the burn pile.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>The battery operated single candles have a plastic base.
So a couple of them could be set on the table in the dressing area. No
much light but better than none. I use 5 of them in my candelabra and it
gives enough light to read by. They are normally $2.99 at Hobby Lobby for
a pair of them in the wedding section. When I'm in there and it's 50% off
I buy a package or two. They use AA batteries. I have 4 new ones (2
packages) that I bought the last time they were on sale so they can be used
where ever needed. If someone is desperate enough to steal them they're
only taking $1.50 for 2 of them.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>To answer your questions, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>First, the name is Vlod NotVlad for this event, not
Marius.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>We use to put citronella candles outside the port-a-cans and
leave them all night unattended for light, but all that has changed. I
am guessing that the land agent would frown on having unattended Coleman
flames even if they were hanging from trees on chains... so my answer is no,
even though it would be the best thing to do. I do like the idea of
wrapping the string lights around the large trees even if they only go
around once. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Lords and Ladies showers and dressing rooms ?? Why so
provincial ? We've never had any problems using a first come, first
serve system in the past. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The toothpaste and shampoo baskets are a nice idea, but
as you pointed out, the SCA is not what it use to be when it comes to all the
people being honest enough to leave things that are not theirs alone. It
will be kinda like Halloween when your are not going to be at home. You
leave a bowl of candy out with a note that says, "Take one please" and of
course the first kid to come along will empty the bowl... and maybe even
take the bowl. I'm not sure I would use tooth paste that has been
left unattended anyway. Maybe I'm just funny that way, but I am not
going to put anything in my mouth that has been left in an area with
unsupervised naked people. Again, a nice idea, but people should bring
their own from home or borrow from a friend. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The rugs and mats for the showers is a good idea if they are
raised off the ground with pallets so mud will not ooze through. The
table and chairs are a good idea too. You need to remember that the reed
fences are all but completely see through so I am guessing that most people
will not want to expose themselves for even that short walk. Also,
I am not sure how you would arrange the dressing room so that you could reach
it from both showers and still have a drive through between. Keep in
mind that I would like to use one of the reed fences in the kitchen
area. I do not know how many we have. They were set up at one
event to wall off my campsite and they seemed to stretch a long way so maybe
we will have enough for both.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I hate to be negative about so many things that are offered
in the spirit of help and friendship. So many of your ideas have
been good. I am sure we will work it all out in the
end.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<TD vAlign=top>Buongiorno everyone, Well I have little
strings of poison ivy on my arms and one leg from cleaning the site
last Sat. morning. Not the first time however. It is everywhere. If
you are allergic, don't walk around the site right after it has been
mowed. That is the worst time to get exposed!<BR> Anyway, there
won't be a pathway from equestrian to the kitchen . We are going to
mow the entire woods area between the stalls and the kitchen. We made
a path to begin with but now will open up the whole thing. So I don't
think we will need lights there. We could put one around the stall
area and the water pump station we will make for them
though.<BR> The road will definately need some however. I
told equestrian that we would light up the big tree that Brian, Pace,
and Marius cleaned up for them to have a wider area to swing the
trailers around on the road. I looked at the tree and it is pretty big
around. I don't think solar lights would work on the road because
their car headlights will be on. But a few hanging lanterns kinda
light mini street lights would be nice. Marius are we allowed to put
real coleman lanterns on shepherd hooks lining the road? Or do
we have to use battery ones on the road? I have a coleman lantern that
I could donate to the cause. I could buy a shepherd hook from Dollar
Store. I already got one for the hospitaler banner. I also
have many landscape lights but would hesitate to bring them because I
already got burned at an event with theft. Who would figure? But still
feel the sting of that one.<BR> Things we thought of last Sat.
that we could use-<BR> any lanterns , lights, hooks for
lighting pathways, showers etc. <BR> door mats for outside
each shower and rugs for the dressing rooms<BR> small
articles like toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo etc. for the dressing
rooms and baskets to hold them. I have one made already just need 3
more.<BR> I want to put a chair and small table outside each of
the two Lords showers (the two furtherest from the dressing room)
<BR> I want to put a chair and table and lantern (battery) in
each Ladies dressing room and a carpet to the closest showers. They
will be the Ladies showers. <BR> Anyone want to make a small
banner or sign designating the showers as Lords and Ladies? We are
going to put the grass fencing around them for privacy. And maybe make
them a little more separate from each other.<BR><BR> Pace
painted the showers to brighten them up Sat. They will suffice for
this event anyway. There is a large ant bed by one doorway.<BR>
That is all I can think of. Any things I missed?<BR> YIS,
G<BR></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR>
