[Ponte Alto] Pennsic Land Agent -- Who can be one?

[Marlin Pierce]

OK, this is getting late to be without a Pennsic Land agent.
Also, it's important to not miss a year, as we FINALLY are getting some
seniority on the block.  Unfortunately, I cannot be sure I will have the two
weeks off in August to commit to being land agent.

Is there anyone who can be there for two weeks?
That's the critical requirement, although it helps to have been at Pennsic
at least once, so you know where the barn is, where the camp is, etc.

Second, can anyone take responsibility for setting up, running, and
tearing down the camp.  This includes finding a way to get the camp stuff
up there.

These do not have to be the same person.  I suggest that they can be different,
as there may be someone who could be land agent, if someone else, with
more experience, could take responsibility for the camp stuff.


If someone else does the camp setup, being the official land agent is easy.
Anyone who has been there once could handle it.  We can ask for the same
block, and probably get it.  The people on that block have experience
negotiating the layout of the block and have a system all worked out.

The priorities for land agent are:
1. Have the two weeks to be at Pennsic the full period.
2. NOT AGREE TO BEING LAND AGENT UNTIL WE FIND THE SETUP PERSON.
3. Register the group on the land agent page.
4. Make sure everyone who registers with Pennsic for the Ponte Alto camp,
also registers with the Barony on the Barony web site. (We need tent sizes.)
5. Negotiate the block layout with the other camps.  (The other camps know
what they are doing, and if it's the same block we had, will be very fair.)
6. Be at the barn at Pennsic 8 AM Saturday July 31.  (It's recommended that
you go to Pennsic Friday July 30 and stay over.)
7. Measure out where the camp is on the block, but this is about the point
where you should turn over things to the camp setup person.
8. Post the camp authorization document in a visible place in front of the camp.
9. Be the Point of Contact for the Pennsic land office for the Ponte Alto camp.

The priorities for the setup person are to either do or see that it gets done:
1. Plan what the camp is going to need.
2. Get the camp stuff out of the Ponte Alto storage locker and up to Pennsic.
3. Map out the layout of the tents in the Ponte Alto camp.
4. Measure the layout of the camp.  Both helping with the layout of the camp
on the block, and measure where the tents are going to go in the camp.
5. Set up the common shade tent, set up the shower, set up the sink,
put up the sheet wall, put up the banners and make the camp look spiffy.
6. Plan, purchase, and setup the baronial open house.
7. Set up the camp for baronial court.
8. Pack up the camp stuff, and get it back to the storage locker.
9. Leave the camp site as good or better than you found it,
in a way you'd be proud if an Indian saw how you left it.
