From barony at cynnabar.org Mon Dec 1 13:58:04 2025 From: barony at cynnabar.org (Dawn Sinclair via Barony) Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2025 13:58:04 -0500 Subject: [Cynnabar] Event Planning Workshop and Round Table Message-ID: Dear Barony, This coming Thursday (12/4), our exchequer, Finn, and I will help to run an Event Planning Workshop & Round Table. This session offers a quick, practical overview of what goes into planning a successful SCA event?from assembling your team and budget basics to site needs and kingdom requirements. First, we will walk through Cynnabar?s updated event proposal template to get some feedback on this new form. The form is meant to help provide details for group approval and as part of planning for an event. After, we?ll open the floor for a round table where seasoned event stewards and newcomers can help build a checklist of things to prepare for when planning. This workshop is ideal for anyone preparing to host their first event or seeking a smoother path for the next one. And, for our seasoned vets, please join us to share experiences and contribute. ALL ARE WELCOME!!!! Yours, Hannah -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
