This is much bigger than you realize. If you're going to host an event over the span of days, having access to bathrooms is required. Beyond that, a kitchen/food vendor is STRONGLY suggested - otherwise, you'll have to make SURE that folks bring enough provisions to last for the entire time. Finally, if people are sitting around a campfire, they WILL drink. You WILL NOT stop them. Having a place that allows this is basically required. The Great Hall would be nice, but really you just need a back-up plan in case of severe weather.

Re: Hosting our own event?
What I mean by that is if the place does not have access we need to rent portapotties. I did not mean a place with out them entirely. I should have been more clear.

Re: Hosting our own event?
As I mentioned to day at practice, Lets learn to crawl before we can walk. I LOVE your enthusiasm for an camp out event... But we are just not there yet. Eryndor did not put on their fist camp out event until many years after their existence and this was a co-hosted event with Middle March. (look them up, good group of groups in IN)
With that said, lets get into the mind set of day events. Yes it will be tough to encourage other groups to drive 4 hours to come fight at event. However, I KNOW we can achieve that. How you ask. By accurate planning and informative advertizement.
Lask was right about how it is not all fun and games when it comes to hosting events. However from personal experiences, I know that if we get enough people committed, we can work in shifts and some can still get some fighting done.
With a few hours of planning and commitment from the group I know we can plan out a nice event. I have a few ideas rolling around in my head and would be willing to share my experience with those will to give the commitment to Canaur. Eryendor didn't get on the map just for being some really great fighters in nice garb. We were known to put on some of the best events in our area and people traveled the distance to take part in it.
So I want to know now, Who's with me?
