Wish list and feedback
Here is the feedback that I collected during setup/tear down days at pennsic:
Feedback
2016
- there was lots of confusion about the camp layout for peace week
- check list of what comes out of the trailer and what stays in the trailer
- perogies are inconsistent to cook
- improve placement of tents vs when people arrive (don't put people who arrive early in front)
- put lantern in pantry tent
- having the pantry tent off of the road is good
- clear job descriptions and responsibilities posted/available at pennsic (cooler/ice job: does this include dumping the water?)
- job for propane checking and refiling, only needed to be done once during the week
- canvas for social tent for peace week
- have drinks ready at the beginning of setup day (gatorade and water)
- have camp lunch start on setup day
- we should have a pennsic-only-people lochleven SQUARE meeting in june/july to plan for pennsic
- there were gaps in the assignments of chores
- we didn't use the black boards very much and it would have been useful. battles, order meetings, supper,
- marks ALL of the coolers, especially the fighter lunch cooler
- encourage the fighters to make 2 sandwiches every other day the night before battle
- more pickles for fighters
2017
- add a "remove from trailer first week" field to items in querki
- there was lots of confusion about the setup day breakfast and lunch not being part of the meal plan (but this was resolved during the pennsic household meeting)
- Jensen's fighter lunch idea was really good
-
2018
- keep a list of the trailer items at the Lochleven camp while I am at the trailer
- Make sure that household members other than the quartermaster know how to access the inventory and have permissions to do so
- before the winter meeting:
- send the list of wishlist projects to the household mailing list
