[Archers] Archery evnets for next year

[Jay Nardone]

Good evening everyone, there was another topic I wanted to bring up at
Unevent but I didn't get a chance to get to it. I wanted to thank everyone
once again for the incredibly successful year we had in Atlantian Archery
and also for all of your hard work to make it so. With that said, I noticed
at multiple events I attended that archery was put out in the "back 40" and
at a few of them there was really no reason for this. I know at 3 or 4
events I saw opportunities where archery could have been seen by all on site
and still have been in a safe location to conduct the shoot. I actually
talked with the Autocrats at 2 of these events and they stated that they
were relying on their MIC's for Archery to choose the locations. I have been
on the kick to assure that we work as closely with our Autocrats as we can
to educate them on our needs and rules for Archery. I would love for them to
sit through our class but I fully understand that most of them will have no
interest and this just won't happen. 

 

So I am asking you all to please take the time when planning for next year
to try to see if you can choose site locations that will still be safe but
will also locate archery much closer to the main event. At events like the
Golden Rose, it was very enjoyable for all because the non archers could
walk over and see what we were doing and vise versa for the rest of the
activities during the day. Let's not simply just let the Autocrats put us
out of site just because they are concerned. I would also suggest and hope
that all of you as MICs for the Archery are going out to the site first to
get a lay of the site and plan where you will be setting up. Safety is
always our main concern but I think we can do better in placement of our
activity. I have been asked by many Royals in our Kingdom to see if we can
change this from our norm.

 

In Service,

 

Janyn
