The Club Tent

Heinrich · The Club Tent

Righty, thought I'd post here and quick since time will shortly be upon us for the next event. What tent and props do we have available to us? My bank balance is looking healthy atm but being out of work will soon dent that so I'm holding off buying that gazebo for now unless we have no alternatives.

Basically Tori's agreed to be set-dresser extraordinaire and spend some of her hard-earned wonga to make the club tent look like a true byzantine den of iniquity. Some of the considerations are very IC so I'll post those bits in the relevent sections, but the basic club tent and any auxhillary bits required are what I'm trying to sort here.

1) Tent(s) - What tents do we have available for this? Will we need more than one tent for the job (ie to use as a corridor to other tents in the complex)?
2) Misc. Propage - What props do we have available for this (ie hookas, and yes whoever offered we'd love one! We can even supply turkish hooka tabacco for actual smoking if it's a working one).
3) Custom Propage - For example, the Club Rules displayed at the doorway, an "entertainments centrepiece" incorporating a hooka/contrabando compartments/faux cutting paraphenalia etc

We have ideas but I forgot to mention it at the pub meet. Please feel free to add ideas here as well. Wink

One bell tent. I'll not be sleeping in it this event as I'm going to be with th rest of you.

I have a chair I can cover. Other than that tell me what might help. I live near the large North Wales Aberkahn so can often pick up cheap set up dressing fabric. Tell me what colours you might want if interested and I'll go have a look.

Other than that I think i've got rid of most of my props but I'll have a look round.

Guest

one large party marquee. like the hartnells have got.

Guest

an idea for you. the lrp hotel has dorm tents for about £40 a person with give you access to the IC bar in the hotel

Heinrich

Problem with that as far as I can see is that it's a public bar (at least for those using thte larp hotel)... unless th rest of the group have changed the camp ideas?[/url]

Guest

its ment to be a private bar for the residents.

Guest

even so from past knowledge of the larp hotel and heinrichs plans, it would still not be entirely appropriate. All manner of hoypaloy traipsing through the party.

Guest

ok.. was just an idea. if i think of anything else that could help i'll post it

Heinrich

Guest

at the moment it does sound as if the larp hotel is going to be the sons of sets surrogate home. i feel sory for the other guests that will be caught in the inevitable crossfire.

Branwen

Blackberry and I are going to have a bell tent up that people can go to. Not going to say much here as an open area.

Chatu

Isn't he out the country or something at the mo. Thought I read something on the rule7 forum.

Branwen

yes he is out of the country.It was 2 weeks from and including 26th July. So hes not back yet. I'm sure he'll get back to you once hes dealing with his email backlog.

Gward'ogan Miradomas

oh well I just added to the back log..............

Guest

yeah and if i remember his wife and one son went with him. so no one will be there checking mails at the moment. but hes is normally very good when it comes to catching up on his mails

Don't know what this is like as I'm not in the habit of buying armour but
if anyone is looking for armour i found this, they are having a relocation sale, so if you just need bits and pieces rather than a full suit then shop till you drop.
