All,
The loaner gear is becoming rather worn or downright F-ed up. I propose to all those that can, a $1.00 donation be made to the Northern Steppes loaner gear fund.
I know a lot of the vet players donated some materials and time to get the equipment we have available together for the new players, and it shouldn't be on only them to keep these items in good repair. We've had around 30 participants the last couple of Sundays, and if everyone who can puts in a buck, we should be able to pick up a few rolls of foam and some PVC to get a few more clubs and shields into the loaner bag.
As a rookie myself, I apologize if I have stepped on any toes by making this proposal. But, I feel that if any of us think of ourselves as members of the Northern Steppes, we should take part in more than just the fighting and make it possible for more people to enjoy Dagorhir.
Also, if we get some dollars together, it would be an excellent time for a couple of the more experienced members to show the new guys some proper build techniques while reblading weapons or attaching punch shield handles.
Duke out.

Stubbie, you bring up an excellent point. I suppose we will first ask for a volunteer(s). If we don't get any, Rowan was telling me about these belly dancing classes he was taking, and I suppose he could share a couple of his new moves with us. But, I don't know if he will be back from the Harvest Feast, so we might have to take a rain check on this.

Great idea. A dollar from everyone is a great start. It's never been enforced to my knowledge but we do have a rent a loaner policy after you have fought for so long so without doing this if you ate using loaner gear make a strong effort to make a donation I think rent was to be 3 dollars a week after a trial period. And thank you duke for standing up a being the voice for this. If anyone would like to and can do more dollar is just a starting point. Thank you to all the great people who play this great game for without you I would never be killed.

I'll bring a couple bucks on Sunday. Also, next week I'm building a round shield and am buying a sheet of plywood, whatever I have left can go toward loaner supplies if it'll help.

Yes, some dollars were collected. Osric took the donations. He was thinking it should be enough to fix up some of the busted loaner shields.
