Site Considerations              
                Wheelchair accessibility - Ramps, wide doorways,                           bathroom stalls, and elevators if multiple floors.              
                Adult-sized tables, chairs, and toilets -Elementary                           Schools can be an issue             

               Accessibility crews - volunteers at gate to help people
               negotiate walkways and carry their belongings into                           the main area       
                        
               Parking - add marked spaces near the buildings for             
               handicapped spots. Just like we do for TRM and Staff           
              Reserve a row at the front of court for those with a                            hearing, sight, or mobility impairments           

              Arrange for a Good Hand Herald for sign language                            interpretation           

             Post ingredient lists with the menu ahead of the event                     for feast and inn so people with food allergies can                              make other arrangements if needed           

            Designate a quiet room so those who need a calm                             place have  somewhere to go           

          Allow outside food in the building - those with                                   children, blood sugar issues, and food allergies likely                        need more than what an inn or concession stand can                        accommodate                

           All gender bathrooms                

           Bathroom baskets - feminine products, band aids,                            bobby pins, hair ties, safety pins, hand lotion        

           Does the site allow alcohol?     
     
           Does the site allow weapons? 

 Activities - Some activities require individuals with warrants or marshallates. And some duties must be completed by paid members. Be sure you have a qualified person to oversee these activities if you want to include them in your event.

Marshalls are needed for: Rattan fighting, Cut & Thrust, Archery, Thrown Weapons, and Equestrian.

Warranted people are needed to oversee youth activities. Their assistants do not have to be warranted.

At gate a paid member must handle the money. The assistants handing out site tokens and getting forms signed do not have to be paid members.

Event Flyer - Once you've decided on the date, site, and activities it's time to submit your flyer. The flyer must be published in the MEWs 2 months prior to the event. Here are the guidelines for the event flyer from the Chronicler. And here is the form to submit your flyer.

Event Fee - If you are charging a fee for your event you will have to track members and non-members separately for the after event reports. See pages 109 through 119 of the Exchequer's Handbook for instructions. 

Royalty - You can invite Royalty to attend your event by contacting their Chamberlain at TRM-Chamberlain@calontir.org  

Publicity -  You can advertise your event on Facebook. The Social Media Officer put together a helpful guide on how to do that. And any questions can be directed to socialmedia@calontir.org
