[Steppes] Accepting bids for events

[jack spinks]

For those who might aspire to such an undertaking- would there by chance be available copies of past budgets and actual expenses?  Seems like it would improve ones ability to submit a bid if one knew where to get a past budget before scribbling things out on a napkin or kleenex or what-have-you- proposed budget and all.

  Yes, thank you Your Excellency for posting this to the list. You are as timely and efficient as you are beautiful and graceful. 

Anyone wanting to put in a bid for Warlord XXXV, please remember to send it to me and HE Katheryn. It must also include a budget as well as a theme if you are planning on having one. Remember that Warlord XXXV is an anniversary year and plan accordingly. If you have any questions about putting in a bid, please contact me and/or HE Katheryn privately. 

Thank you, Margarite

For many years, Steppes 12th night has been a Kingdom calendar event due to the inclusion of the Kingdom Eisteddfod competition, thereby becoming a Kingdom event. This year in February or March, Steppes was notified by the current titled Bard of the Kingdom that Steppes 12th Night 2008 would not be hosting this competition. As a result and after much discussion, Steppes decided to open 12th Night (currently on the Kingdom caledar for January 5, 2008) to the Central Region as a regional event on a trial basis for the calendar year 2008 only.

The understanding is that if your group puts in a bid, you will not be responsible for filling all the jobs with people from your group; the jobs will be parceled out to various groups (who will then fill them with people from their group) within the region who are interested in participating.

In the past, we have budgeted Steppes 12th night to be $3500.00, with at least half of that going to feast. The site can be anywhere in the central region. The most important factor on the site is that it should be no more than $2000.00 and that it has a capacity of 500+ people. Traditionally, Steppes 12th night has not been a big money maker and Steppes has occasionally suffered a small loss.

If you have a wonderful site, please contact your seneschal with the information. A site has not yet been secured, so we must make haste. Bids will be accepted from anywhere in the Central Region. These bids should be sent to HG Conal and copied to HG Julia de Montoya.

Remember, the budget is a non-negotiable enclosure with your bid. If you have any questions regarding how Steppes has traditionally budgeted 12th Night in the past, please contact HL Margarite (Steppes seneschal) for help.
