Archery: Adrianna the Fierce has been discussion with Carnation Farms about having a weekly archery practice in their parking barn. According to Adrianna, the farm is willing to let us use their flat barn every Sunday. It is a former milking barn and is covered and concrete floor, but no walls. The farm has quoted $25/week for rental of the barn for archery.  Adrianna is asking for assistance in the negotiations with the farm.

The farm is wanting to see the SCA Insurance policy, Kit will be forwarding that to Adrianna. The farm is also requiring backgournd checks for the Marshalls in Charge for working with children. Adrianna will organize a tour of the farm with Kit, and Sr Archery Marshals to determine the viability of this site for officially SCA Archery practice.

The following questions were raised:

  1. How many people is the farm willing to have background checks done on. As Marshalls In Charge of practices tend to rotate.
  2. What is the maximum number of shooters do the marshallate feel will be accommodated?
  3. If we go forward with this, we will need a Branch Archery Marshall, and someone to be the administrative responsible party for organizing/running/ and continued conversations with the farm.
  4. Funding for rent was discussed, and a member is willing to fund 3 months of rental via donation to the Canton. A donation jar was discussed and will be implemented if we go forward with this.

A field trip is being planned by Adrianna and Kit to view the site and discuss further with the site owner.
