<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>

<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>
