VARF 2014 season recap.

[Sir Edward]

The total seasonal attendance this year hit 19,892 (here's the video clip of the cast meeting announcing this). Last year's record attendance was around 11,900 or so. That's a HUGE increase, of about 67% over last year.

The Order of the Marshal's charitable collections for the two VARF weekends totaled $409.60. Adding in the dollar-matching that one of the cast members offered for that second weekend, plus all of our other events in the prior weeks, our charitable donation total is $1066.60 (not including a stipend from VARF, which I don't see in the contract, and no one has replied to my questions about it, so I think we may not get that this year).

Huzzah!

[Sir James A]

Wow!!

[Sir Brian]

Huzzah indeed!

hmm, a little curious that, still makes me wonder if they paid that other group on the last weekend?

We have two of their members on the forum now, so maybe they'll chime in.

Wow, a 67% increase from the previous year, that's an incredible jump in attendance.  Huzzah for the Order- we're to blame for that!  Yes, I'm claiming that on behalf of the Order.  Posting the vids on YT is also helping spread the word.
