[Moo] Update: Defending the Gate set-up

[Laurie Clarkston]

Greetings!
 
Defending the Gate is next Saturday and there are various jobs that need your 
help!
 
The trailer is almost packed.  Thank you to everyone who came out and helped.
 
I need a volunteer to set up 2 SCA signs on Route 3 where people will turn onto 
Route 621, and one at the turn onto Herndon Road.  They need to be set up early 
Saturday morning.
 
Next Friday, (day before the event), set up of site.  
We need a lot of volunteers to come help set up the following tents:
     Big White, 
     Troll, 
     Bardic, 
     MOL dayshades, 
     Children's activities, 
     A&S walls for the picnic pavilion.
 
We will need to set up "no parking stakes" with survey tape to keep people from 
driving on the grass.
 
Set up the temp parking area for people to troll in with survey tape.
 
Set up archery targets.
 
I have a key to the building so anything that we want to drop off the day before 
and lock up, we can do that as well.
 
Friday 
I have heard from several people who are coming out to help set up.  I will be 
on site at 2 pm.  Please come out and help set-up when you get off from 
work...or, leave work early, coz it is the start of the weekend..!
 
On Saturday: we need help throughout the day.  If you have not signed up to run 
or organize something, please help those who are.
 
We will have three (3) parking areas again this year that need to have parking 
attendants.  The two parking areas directly located on site are for staff, and 
those who are signed up for Feast.  The parking area located up in the far field 
will be for day trippers not staying for feast.
The shooting ranges located on the way to the archery field will be parking for 
those people who have large vehicles with trailers.
 
Lady Damiana Monena (Danni) is looking for people to help her with parking.  
Please contact her and volunteer to work a two hour shift.  

  -- We need one or two people up in the far field.
  -- We need two people to work the two parking areas located on the main site.
The time to cover the parking lots start around 9 am to at least 1 pm.  
It would be nice to have someone up in the far field to oversee the vehicles 
leaving the parking area after Court--just in case someone needs assistance.
 
If you sign up for a two hour block of time, this will give you plenty of time 
to participate in other activities.  Last year, our parking 
attendant volunteers spent the entire day taking care of our visitors.  Please 
send Danni an email to sign up.  Her email address is 
Danielle.willgruber at gmail.com.
 
After each activity is over, please help break-down equipment, and tents before 
Court.  There will be a lot of people hanging out waiting for Court eagar to 
help out.  Just ask!  After Court there will be feast.  It is a great way to end 
the day..!
 
If you have any questions, let me know.  Let's make the Tenth Year of Defending 
the Gate the best ever.  This event has always been a great event because of the 
people in the Canton of Sudentorre come together to make this a great event.
 
BTW, have you pre-reg?  Still time.
 
YIS,
