Bristol Friends of Faire

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

Because of the friendliness of Unilady who welcomed us to the Friends of Faire garden at Bristol last year and gave us a tour, I'm excited that Steve and I - for the first time in 13 seasons of attending Bristol - are joining Friends of Faire this year.

Any other RF members that are members?  If so, we'll be sure to look for you at the garden.  See you at Bristol in 64 days (it opens in 63 days, but we can't go till the Sunday) !

I'm a member, but I'm not in the garden much because I am also in one of the historical guildes at Bristol (Guilde of St. Lawrence, a/k/a the Ducklings). However, I keep hoping each year to spend more time in the garden.

You can be in the garden on the days you don't work at the Duck

Dayna will FoF be offering a weekend pass to outta towners like Fest Friends did?

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

Goody, Dana will have to verify, but I think you can buy a pass for $5 a day.

Renmail me to let me know if you are coming to visit us and the dates.

[Dayna]

YES!!!!!

You may be a guest of a FOF member for $5, which I believe is for the weekend.  Now.... since you all are friends of mine, and I'm employed to work in the garden as well as being a FOF, you just have to let me know when you're coming and either I or one of my co-henches will set you up.

Huzzah! Friends of Fair!

I'm in Friends of Fair's New York chapter...Actually I just found the Bristol Fair and it looks great. This RenQuest thing looks really intriguing too.   I'd love to meet some FoF folk at Bristol when I come out !

When are you visiting?  This year, the Forum Meet & Greet takes place both days at 3 p.m. at the Pig & Whistle Tavern.  You have to kind of wander around and see if anyone's wearing an RF pin.

At the FoF garden, people wander in and out all day song, so if you buy the weekend membership for $5 (and that's entrance for both days, not $5 per day), then you can visit with whomever is in the garden at the time you enter.

Brother Robert,

As a member of Friends of Faire NY, you have reciprocity with the other Friends of Faires.  That means show your membership card or medallion and we'll waive the $5 fee.  We Would LOVE to have you visit us, we had Southern California people here last weekend, and it was Great to exchange ideas and find out how other faires are set up.

Education Goddess... yeah, right

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

Unilady, does that mean if we visit other faires that have a FoF garden, are we allowed in as guests?  And is that every faire, certain faires, or if the particular faire decides to let you in?  I didn't know about this and since we try to go to faires in other states on occasion, it is interesting to learn about this.  Thanks!

[Dayna]

It's only the other faires owned by REC.  Roadtrip to California or New York???
