M'lady and I choose events by what they are and distance and what friends
are going. For the most part I am an archer with interests in heavy list as
well. We (m'lady and I) choose events that will interest us and then think
about the distance, that said however I have about a 150 to 200 mile range,
after that the event needs to be on par with Pennsic or Gulf OR an event
that we have not been to for us to rack miles on a 120K mile car.

Do I want to see events mixed and such? depends what they are. I think one
"major" event a month would be great, we have been to two and three events a
month and that for us, is a push into real life and such - but it is fun. I
have no comment on what events to mix and match - I do not have a firm grasp
on the calendar of events and what each are - we are new to the barony and
have not been around to see the impact on other events. But that will change
as we continue to play :)

"Or, maybe not.  The main reason I don't attend more events is because of
cost, and travel expenses like fuel and wear-and-tear on my vehicle, is
something I have to consider.  Your situation may be different, but if I
have a choice of driving 2 hours (in a 12 year old car or an 11 year old
truck), or driving 6 hours (in the same vehicle) to attend an event, I'll
probably opt for the closer of the two.  If, on the other hand, I had a
choice between an event 6 hours away or  not going to an event... well, I'm
probably just not going to an event."

And that is part of the question. The Kings' concern and his goal, as I
understood it, was to help overcrowding of the calendar and thereby help
those calendar events get a better attendance. The King is asking for input
at this time and has not made any decisions yet.
So, along with the discussion of how Steppes can help the calendar question
I would like to start a survey among our populace.

 The questions are:

Would having only one or two events on any given weekend mean you would
chose to go to those events or would you just stay at home that weekend??

How do you choose which events to go to??

On average, how far do you drive to go to an event??



I think it might keep a lot of traffic off the list if you send your answers
directly to me. I will summarize your answer and let the crown know your
thoughts. I also want to discuss this at the next pop meeting.

Thanks,

Fritz
