(VERY LONG) >Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2005 01:32:50 -0700 (PDT) > >Greetings to one and all. I appologize to those who receive this multiple >times, but I do want to cover all bases. > >It is time to begin looking forward in time to next March and Gulf War XV. >As Kennellands coordinator for next year's war, I think it would be nice to >begin getting things organized so that by the time War rolls around, we >have all our ducks in a row and we can show the new Kingdom of Glenn Abhean >a greyt beginning to a long history of fabulous wars.... > >I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for your help and >guidance in planning Kennellands for next year. Now is the time to see >what difficulties lay in our path and find answers to them before the 12th >hour. I will remain the final word on issues that need resolved, and do >not want to see long debates on either the SCA Hound coursing list or any >other that just gets folks stirred up. If you have an issue, please bring >it to me privately, and I will do what I can to see that it is resloved >quickly and quietly. > >If anyone is interested in bringing new breeds to GW XV, now is the time to >let me know and to start jumping thru the proverbial hoops. So far, the >following breeds have been approved for inclusion at Gulf Wars in general: >Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds, Borzoi and Scottish Deerhounds. I would >'like' to see us have Afghan Hounds and Saluki numbered among the breeds >next year, but I still require the traditional documentation and >pre-requisite 3 of each breed for the initial year of inclusion. Can we do >this without bickering about the rules? Please? > >House Optimus has volunteered to host the Queen's Tea for us (as in prepare >it - I know it is actually *Hosted* by the Kingdom of Meridies, will that >be Glenn Abhean now?). I have accepted their offer and will leave the >planning in their capable hands, although I do need someone from their >household to contact me privately, as I seem to have misplaced their email >address... They have also offered to provide a meal plan for those camping >in Kennellands for a nominal fee. I know they have a webpage and probably >a elist, but I forget how to contact them and without the email contact, I >fear I am lost... > >The couple who donated last year's prize for the Kennellands Bardic are >planning to donate tea cups for the Queen's baskets this year. These will >be actual teacups for each queen as a momento of the Kennellands Queen's >Tea and will be hand delivered at War along with a personal invite to the >tea. I will be working with Royal Liason for GW to get the appropriate >addresses and such for said Queens so that we will have a head count of >those attending war. My hope is to have as many as possible attend our >Queen's Coursing and the tea to follow. I want to make it as special as >possible for them. > >I will be looking for class instructors for War this year. Would those >interested in teaching please contact me privately? Eule, I would also >like to coordinate classes in falconry again this year. I want to do a >better job of advertising, so I will need to have actual class names and >instructor info to put on flyers to give to Information Point folks to be >put on ALL the bullitin boards. I think there are something like 16 >bulletin boards around camp. I can design and print the flyers, but I will >need any info you want on them by the end of January in order to get them >ready in time. Pictures are good and eyecatching... Especially of >something related to your class.... > >I would also like to have a strong head count of those attending with >hounds this year, well in advance of the deadlines. I want to be able to >map out camping arrangements so that we utilize space well and do not anger >the Landcrats' office needlessly. Remember, this is an anniversary year, >as well as the 1st year Glenn Abhean is hosting as a Kingdom, and >attendance may well be record. With that comes additional stress for land, >and we do take up more than any other group as we need space not only for >our tents, but also for our turnouts. WE need to be circumspect, and not >fuss about inconveniences and be well organized so that we give no one room >to complain about 'those landhog dog people.' ALL people attending with >dogs MUST pre-register with ME by January 31st. You MAY NOT Attend with >your dog if you have not pre-registered with me. THERE WILL BE NO >EXCEPTIONS!!!!!! > >If you would like to host a meal during the week of GW, I would like to be >able to put it into the schedule. It helps all of us to know when and >where we are gathering. If I know about such things in advance, I can help >you by giving you a head count of about how many people may be interested >in joining in the meal, party, whatever. I know we don't normally make >such formal arrangements, but I think as we continue to grow, and have ever >busier schedules while at GW, we should perhaps start planning ahead a >little better. > >We will have several message boards in camp this coming year. THL Samira >has graciously donated a Dry erase board for the camp, and I will be >bringing one as well. I think we can use at least one of these to leave >messages about such things as store runs, and schedule changes. > >I want to do the Bardic again this year, but perhaps we should do it >earlier in the week? Friday gets to be real busy, and maybe we would have >a better turnout if we schedule it earlier in the week. I also will plan >on advertising it better this year as well. We will have a prize again >this year, but I am still looking for just the right prize... >Suggestions/donations are welcome. > >That is all I can think of at this time. I am considering starting an >elist just for Kennellands planning for GW XV, but have not decided if that >is necessary yet. I will let you know if it is warranted, but for now, if >you are willing to help with the planning, please email me privately. > >Thank you for your patience, > >Respectfully YIS, > >Lady Caitrin ferch Briog >Kennellands for GW XV >Houndmistress of the Queen's Pack Trimaris > > > >...To the hounds, goeth the hunt! > >--------------------------------- >Discover Yahoo! > Have fun online with music videos, cool games, IM & more.
