CF Staff

What roles must be filled to run Canterbury Faire?

This is a bit of a tricky question. Many of these roles can be filled by the same person, if there is someone willing, and it is perfectly possible to combine a number of these. With that said, the following tasks must all have someone in charge of them:

• Strategic planning (incl. pricing, making firm bookings for marquee, hay etc)
• Bookings and communications
• Meal plan
• Feast
• Logistics/transport – gear and meal/feast ingredients to site
• Marshal in Charge
• Herald in Charge
• Day steward
• Night steward
• A&S – workshops, display
• B&B will typically take care of Court and Royal/visiting-Baronage liaison. For many reasons, they will want to know who is coming, early and often.

Roles usually staffed by Baronial Officers

• Heavy Combat
• Archery
• Rapier
• War
• Lists
• Pack up
• Storage – including someone specific for final check-in and tidy
• Security (if not Constable) – gates, dealing with problems
• T Shirt design and production (Also Tote-bag production, the same place will handle it)
