Mistress Gefjon,

Thanks for that post.  You are right on the money.

We are very open to actual "improvements" on the Uprising site, but those 
will be very carefully controlled.

About a week after Uprising is over, many horses arrived, spending their 
time munching the grass.  The year before Uprising we baled the grass hay 
up.  So yes, the site still is a "farm", and all improvements will have that 
in mind.

Please just ask away if you have ideas.  We want to make this a really nice 
destination place for SCA activities (as well as other types of activities).

Thanks,  Alan
