The airing of the tartans has been very poorly attended the last couple years. We may skip it this time and just have the progressive dinner. Furthermore, we might reduce that to just three courses: Combined soup and appetizers, then have the main course and dessert. Less travel time, more time at each house. Marty may be able to host that first course, or one of the two first courses if we get enough hosts for all four. Anthea will contact Margaret about the location of the paper goods. We will start publicizing the event.
We have been informed that the organizers would like us to come up with something new for this year. Two ideas:
Sarah will propose these to the Board to see if they are worth pursuing. [Postscript: She did and it was deemed that they are.]
We may do more with this if we are unable to get a contract with Ramble. John Debnam's laptop slide show would be a nice attraction. We need to be sure we have electric power. Anthea will write an article about this event for the newsletter.
Need an inventory. Marty will pick a date or dates and call for volunteers.
Anthea and Marty will work out general rules for laying out our camp. Everything will be built aroung the Cook's Fly. There will be a diagram on clipboard for camp setup.
How much do we need to put in the budget for Tactical?
We need to put together Gaffneyis on-site cleaning and repair kit. In addition to what was on Sarah's list we should have

Hello all,
The following is a list of the dates of the events that are currently on the schedule for this year. The staff has met and decided to keep this running list of events in the newsletter to give you a chance to get an idea of what is going on this season as well as keep you updated to changes in the schedule.
The column titled status will include the following information.
Tentative- this means that an event organizer or Clann has expressed a strong enough interest in doing this event that it warrants reserving space on the calendar for the event.
Pending- this is the next stage of an event. This means that the Contracts Administrator has entered serious discussion about Clann doing an event but we are still not committed to the event. You should however if possible think about whether or not you may be able to attend this event.
Scheduled- this level means that the board and staff have approve the event and we are committed to providing manpower to making the event happen. When an event is assigned this level please let the HCF know as soon as possible if you can or can not attend this event.
Canceled- This means that for various reasons an scheduled event has been removed from the current season. We will try and give as much notice as we can prior to canceling an event.
If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact staff regarding this matter
Thanks,
Your Staff
