How to: Run an Event

These are the basics, when I can make this more detailed I will.

If you have never run an event before in the Crown Barony of the Bridge then you will need a parent autocrat who will be there to coach and monitor your progress.

You need an idea for the event.

Many are inspired by other events that are held within the SCA.
Some like to mimic some special event in history that their persona may have been involved.
Others are inspired by a site that they have found for an event

Find a site (location) for an event

You may find a list of regularly used sites available by contacting the seneschale
You will find that schools, churches / synagogues, camps ( off season ), parks, are amenable to renting their space to non-profit organizations like the SCA for a reduced rate.
Some things to look for in an event site:
- kitchens
- bathrooms
- fields for marshall arts
- extra rooms for:
  - Royalty ( if you are planning on inviting them )
  - special private events ( ie. peerage meetings, )
  - classes
- interior ambiance

People:

Cook
Setup crew
Cleaning crew

MOL

Marshalls

you will need to incorporate all of this information into one convenient form
( event bid form (pdf) ) [right click to download these] ( event bid form (doc) )and then submit it to the seneschale .

Don't forget to tell the Webmaster that you have an event announcement so that he can put it onto the Bridge Website event calendar
