We had a great time at faire and hope to return soon.  Thinking we might make it back the weekend after next....unless we get a wild hair and come back this coming weekend lol.   ;) ;D

Bonnie, please let me know if you go back in two weekends.  John and I are going that weekend and are trying to put together our camping plans.

Sure will Aiacha.  The only issue is that we will have to park our castle on wheels in the front parking lot and set up camp there.  It's not ideal but hopefully there are plans in the works to be able to move our castles to the campgrounds and our clan can camp together.  We couldn't figure out where to walk into the campgrounds b/c the opening that was there before is closed off, etc, etc.

the castle on wheels and campground situation is one that will evolve.  issues persist in logistics.  we will get our heads together and try to figure something out better for next year.  evolution.  thanks for your comments, rengypsy

Thank you sir!  I understand it will take time and it hasn't deterred us from planning for another visit this season even though we aren't camping with all of our fairemily.

you know we love yall, don't you?  we are building sherwood because we are you.  we want integration and inclusion.  we want folk to be together, not separated.  we are working hard toward breaking down as many barriers to community as possible.  and also, keep up the comments.  you make the experience better and see and experience things we may overlook.

today i ready about the men's entry by the front gate and we are already redesigning entry to allow more privacy.

we are ordering diaper changing stations.

we are examining ways and means to allow the carriages to access the parking lot. 

we are addressing signage issues.

all as a result of comments from among our tribe.

blessings,

Your response to our suggestions, even you asking for our suggestions, is why this faire has started well and is going to be a great faire. You haven't responded with excuses. Your responses are we are fixing it or we are trying to find a way to fix it.

I heard lots of good comments about Sherwood Saturday from faire veterans who were there for the first time at Sherwood. Great impression you have made!

Well Jack all ya gotta do is make your way around the reserved camping area and you will meet quite a few board members.  In fact, on our side you have two camps in a row (well sort of), you have Phoenix Risen and the Procrastinators.  Just come on in and say howdy - we'll be watching for ya (o:

Will do my best. Don't know the camping area at all but I'm sure I'll get enough Kraken in me to start wandering around lol

Well its not much different from TRF in that you can't really get lost if you just get on the road and start walking - So long as you don't walk past the security shack and out onto the highway - That would be the wrong turn you should avoid (o:

Will do, I'm sure I'll be stumbling around somewhere once I get there. If anyone sees a big bald man with a Doctor Who scarf looking wild eyed clutching rum just say hi lol
