<DIV>
A Day at The Stones of Raven's Fort :</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is a post Populace meeting update on the work weekend at The Stones
which starts this evening.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will be on site around 10ish Saturday morning. If you beat me to
the site please start on the Equestrian area. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My contact number is 281-367-3409. Looking forward to seeing
you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Peace,</DIV>
<DIV>Vlod NotVlad</DIV>

this weekend ( February 6<SUP>th</SUP>, 7<SUP>th</SUP> & 8<SUP>th</SUP> )
the Barony will hold its first work weekend of the year at The Stones.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Baron Brian has opened the site for
camping from Friday evening till Sunday afternoon.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So far no plans have been made for
food Saturday night.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am open
for suggestions on a group thing or if we want to do our own individual
meals.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Both are workable.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">There are three and a half
projects that we need to make some headway on this weekend.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">1)<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>At the top of the list are the
showers.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>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.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

have already purchased the hinges and could finish this project in one
day.</P>

an Equestrian area and build stalls.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>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.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I believe it is
very like what Baron Brian already had in mind.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I will try to get some prices and put
pen to paper.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We need to talk
about this at populace this Thursday.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It is something worthwhile to work for, but if there not enough in the
coffers right now we might have to be creative.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">1/2 )<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There will be storm and logging fall
all over the site.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I encourage
individuals to clear the branches and trees from their personal
campsites.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you need help
ask.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>A crew can make short work
of the worst part of even a large tree.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I am not really concerned with having the site spotless for this
event.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As long it is not in the
way we do not need to deal with it before the Spring Event.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That said, we should make every effort
to clear all of the fall before Defender.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">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.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Again, I am
not really concerned with anything else.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>There is something really beautiful about the lush green of early
spring.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>With any luck we will
have a few wild flowers. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I look forward to spending time
back on site with everyone working for a happy, productive Raven’s Fort.<SPAN

please let me hear form you. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
