[Archers] Pennsic Archery - Shifts

Sun Oct 30 08:25:41 PDT 2011

Not having read through all the possible posts on this issue yet, gone
for one weekend and it "snowed" in my email box!, my intent is to work
the Atlantian Novelty shoot as I did last year - I will marshal and
support as much as needed even if it means I don't get to shoot (like
last year, I only shot a couple of selected/interesting stations - not
that they all were not interesting.....).  My thought/hope is that by
doing this shoot Atlantia can, ONCE AGAIN, lead the way for SCA archery
by showing the known world how to really put on an interesting, fun
shoot for all archers.  My hope is that some day we actually get out
competed for the privilege of hosting this shoot at Pennsic.  On that
day/year, we all get to shoot 'cuz we aren't the ones running it!

As for the Lockmere Arrow I have a simple solution as previously hinted
to by Lorelei.  The Canton of Crois Brigte will simply "Borg", as in
assimilate, the barony that hosts the Lockmere Arrow and you can hold it
at the Elcken Castle site.  Seldom do we get enough snow to NOT shoot
archery, the shoot is still conducted on the hosting barony's lands -
now part of Crois Britge, and Crois Brigte gets to grow and have more
troops for War of the Wings!  Sounds like a totally workable solution to
those of us in Crois Borg.........uhhhh........Crois Brigte.
hahahahaha  

Here to help,

Agreed for sure. We had plenty of folks offer and some that even didn't
get to pick up their bows that day. It was and could be an even bigger
event going forward but requires helpers to cover us all. I agree with
Lorelei we don't want to burn anyone out and should be able to start
getting an idea of who would like to help once again. Getting the
targets there is one aspect, but having enough marshal's for help
throughout the day is another. I know we have picked up quite a few new
marshal's this year, maybe they would be willing if they are planning on
attending Pennsic? I think this is great practice if we are ever to try
to hold the Known World Shoot at Pennsic like COG suggested. Good
discussions J

YIS, Janyn

Just make sure, please dont get me wrong, i do not think it was poor
planning. I think it was a lack of volunteers if anything.

I dont think we should run into this issue again, an i am prepared to do
much more than my 'fair share' if meed be!

I did my best to assure that marshal's were getting breaks and fed and

then please step forward. Those I know of that ran the lines for
extended periods did so by their own accords, which does not surprise me
in the least from our group. It is all of our vacations and if you do
not want to support it again then don't. We should decide if this is
something Atlantia wants to take on once again this year, if so we need
to pick (one) lead and support them once again and then get word to
Dougle and Godrick that it is our intent to hold another all day event.
This will allow them plenty of time to work with the Mayor and planning
teams for next year.

Thanks.

True, but I really enjoyed my day there.  I spent @ 1/2 inspecting and
1/2 working two lines.  Call it my service at the war if you like, but I
had a good time and will gladly do it again next year if I am there.  

Which is to say, if I am there next year, count me in.  It was a great
day for Atlantia and archery.

I would like to stress the importance of taking shifts for marshaling
the lines. I happen to know that far too few got stuck with way too
much. Some were up there for 8 hours straight.  

Not acceptable. 

We all come to have a good time, and that cannot be accomplished without
everyones charity and commitment.

I am certainly not pointing any fingers, but we need to make sure that
if someone has the title of Marshal, they have taken some shifts.

(not trying to be harsh!)
