[Archers] Archery evnets for next year

M'Lord Janyn,

Last year I had one non-archer take the warrants course. He was to be MIC of a tournament, and wanted to know more about our needs. I was very happy to have him attend.

Your message is an excellent one, but you've sent it only to us. May I respectfully suggest that you need to put this message out on other boards besides archery. The Merry Rose would be a good start. Perhaps if there is a group for seneschals, you could get it posted there, etc., etc. They will only know if we come to them with the idea.

Yours Aye,


Mungo

Subject: [Archers] Archery evnets for next year

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
