From dbevan at topfloor.ca Tue Oct 1 19:17:34 2013 From: dbevan at topfloor.ca (Danielle Bevan) Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2013 19:17:34 -0700 Subject: [Hartwood] 2014 events Message-ID: So we're having a problem finding a hall for Yule -- we'll be looking in the Courtenay/Coombes/Port Alberni areas instead of the originally planned Nanaimo area, because all the halls are booked. Yule is a special case to a degree, because the christmas season is so busy, but it -does- underscore that council begging for an event bid a few months before an event is a recipe for failure. I mentioned it at council, but as Chair of the financial committee, I'm going to be a bit hard-nosed about having our 2014 bids in by Nov at the latest, so we can ensure everything is tickety-boo by Dec. Especially the winter event. Our main events are: Spring TUTR, ??, 4/22 Fall Camping, Port Alberni: 9/22 Winter Event, ??, 11/22 <-- yes, november this time. We held off on June/August reservations until we found out if we're getting any of our Principality Event Bids. If you have an event you'd like to run that isn't one of these, by all means, pitch it to us. But we need bids for these this coming, or the next, council. And when a bid is awarded, one of your first priorities will be to lock in a site. So what do event stewards need? A membership, a partner, and a budget. A budget requires a potential site. A budget also requires flexibility; if the financial committee says 'we need you to adjust your expected attendance' or 'we need you to charge another two dollars', this isn't a slam against you! It's just our job to make sure the event has the best possible chance of breaking even/making money -- especially those three above, which are really the only opportunity for our branch to make the money required to do things like buy an Iron Key shed and reserve sites for events. If you want to run an event but don't have a membership, consider the $30 associate... but if not, find a member to co-steward with you. :) We'll make it work.

Poll Update To: North Road Just over 1 week into the polling and the initial rush has died down. This is pretty typical of polls, with those having the strongest interest jumping in. We now need a push to gather the next significant number of participants. If you know of someone, member or not, ask them to give us a moment of their time to respond. If they are indifferent, it is important they respond as such. We have also been going over the membership numbers and eliminating any irregularities. For example, there are a lot of people with outstanding suspended membership months due to mailings from Milpitas being returned. Unless these are pretty recent they don't count towards our total. (some are from as old as 2001). The numbers so far are thus: The percentage of members responding is now stuck at about 31%. If it stays here it means that a full 70% of the members do not really care a whit about the process and it will die where it lays. If people are AGAINST this process they can say that and it will equally die for the present. The ratio of members to non-members is 4 to 1. Is this the norm or are there a ton of non-members who don't know they can respond or just don't care? From a branch perspective the numbers are: Appledore 50% / Cae Mor 0% / Coill Mohr 31% / Danescombe 30 % / False Isle 80 % / Fjordland 40% / Hartwood 52% / Krakafjord 27% / Lions Gate 34% / Lionsdale 35% / Ramsgaard 63% / Seagirt 22% / Shittemwoode 14% / Tir Bannog 0%. To have validity the poll REQUIRES a minimum of 51% of the members. But unless such a poll is overwhelming in one direction or the other a small return like that will usually convey the message that Tir Righ, as a whole, is not ready to proceed down this road. Pass the word. Let?s see some more responses. If you can't make the web form work, send me a note with your answers and we can add it on your behalf.

With Peasants Revel in Courtenay, White Court was *supposed to* be in Nanaimo... well, we *could* do it in one of the Nanaimo halls, but I think Parksville would be darn near perfect - if the facilities are suitable for us. :-) [I have a family background/connection with the Masons, with my grandmum having been in Eastern Star (and I earned a university scholarship from them), my youngest sis in Jobes Daughters, my Grandad in Masons).] The Masonic Lodge in old town is in a heritage building - kinda neat. But I don't know about their facilities, either. (Something to look at, for sure!) (Oh - and long, low-ceilinged rooms, as in the hall on Morpeth, feel very 'period, IMO. ;-) ) (My apologies to the Shire for not being to offer other options/venues back when this was being discussed, as I am only JUST beginning to find out about what is available.) ...Hawa From: cmhart at shaw.ca To: hartwood at tirrigh.org Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2013 21:26:46 -0700 Subject: Re: [Hartwood] 2014 events The Masonic Hall on Morpeth Ave In Nanaimo has a reasonable kitchen but a cramped ( long and narrow low ceilings) dining area.

We'd like to be able to sit at least 60, preferably 80 (Because SCA'ers have big skirts!) And we'd like a kitchen we can actually cook in. If Colin could get us details on the Masonic halls further south, I'd be super grateful. I'll give the OAP a call tomorrow. I've run out of numbers to call in my area -- we had one, but we aren't supposed to cook in their kitchen, which is odd. It'll be a back up if we can't find anything else. Hawa, Mike ran out of contacts to call for the Nanaimo halls. We really did try. But if you talk to him, maybe you have a few halls in mind he didn't think of? We're willing to go further south, too. As for an iron key shed, thats been sorted months ago -- that was just an example of why offices need budgets. :) ~ Cunegonda On 2013-10-08, at 11:27 PM, Aline De Bruges wrote: > Colin... > Could you provide a contact for the Parksville Hall... and then we could make contact, and I (and anyone else who might like) could go check it out...?

They serve breakfasts to large groups so have a decent kitchen. There was also a small Legion Hall in the south end that Rotary rented last-minute for an event - bit of an awkward layout but I think it had a kitchen. The Costin Hall in Lantzville is large enough and has a great kitchen...we used to use it for an annual Rotary event so I've spent a lot of time volunteering in that kitchen.
