first, of course, the bad news..........the fall castleteers is cancelled. i waited as long as i could, i tried every trick i could think of, but it will have to wait til spring.
here is the situation, my fellow 'teers. all summer long a couple individuals have been harrassing us. their primary tactic has been to call the police to report us for, well, nothing, but the shame is the cops have to respond anyway. they have broken up weddings, birthday parties, events, our show days......all summer long. if anyone at all parks on the road, or enters the park (where the big fire ring is) these idiots call the cops. now here is the dilemma i have been battling with. the castleteers can be big, we always park on the road, we have no choice. so knowing the cops will come to the party, what do i do. my first responsibility is to protect the castle, second the castleteers. in the end i decided that i will not have the castleteers subjected to the chance (it would go badly i believe) so, fall is cancelled. i waited so long to make the call because i held out hope that they would use the backhoe we bought to create more usable space. either that or the would take a more aggressive stance against our attackers. neither happened. and now, this coming tuesday we have a meeting with the symmes township administrator to discuss all of the co,plaints from our "neighbors"
but as they say, every cloud has a silver lining. here is ours. because of what has gone on this summer, we have changed some rules at the rock. these rule changes are going to have a terrific effect on the castleteers. why? cuz the next one will be warm.
let the discussion begin....i propose the last weekend of april, right before Tennessee opens ....what say the castleteers?
That would work for me. I think a warm Castleteers would be a nice change
I would hope to make it, but I will probably be moving to Arkansas around that time. :(
if our Captain humphrey wish's it, that's good enough for me Belle and me,
hang in there our Captain,
we are at thy service,
Tink and Belle...
Humphrey,
Let me know of anything I can do to help. I will make efforts to be down.
A warm Castleteers.... I do like that idea. I enjoy the weather when it is cool, but it also lends the chance to becoming ill... especially after a night of revelry.
Will the Gather'ns just be once a year then instead of twice?
Whatever day or month you choose is fine with me, I will always bring the male and female brownies for the party.
Whatever the date....it shall be added to the calendar.
\../ sns \../
A good date for us as well.
I just need my castleteer fix. No matter when we have it.
It kind of sucks that a couple of individuals can screw things up for others, but then that is life. I just hope that we (the Castle, that is) can deal with said individuals so that we don't have any future problems with law enforcement. Maybe a temporary restraining order might be in order.
As to a warmer Castleteers gathering, I am all for that. Not as much fun when you are freezing cold and hoping that you don't get sick after attending a gathering.

What part of Arkansas are you moving to? If it's central Arkansas, Nimue and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about the area. There's only a handful of R/F folks here in Arkansas and we're pretty scattered.
i would love a warm castleteers. when ever the date, we will be there with bells on. cant wait. :D
Sorry to hear of all the BS you're having to deal with Humphery.
April 27th, Friday is 'danes night
April 28th, Saturday Castleteers Gather'n
Woot!
Huzzah! That is wonderful news!
So, who will be headed up to Ashville that Sunday following Castle? ;)
28th could be a problem as we always go to the Ashville Viking Festival on Saturday and it is the same weekend. We will have to see how that works out.
