Hello! Thank you for volunteering your time at Northern Oaken War Maneuvers XIX.

We are looking for volunteers in a number of different areas and would love to have you on board!

  • Event Setup / Teardown – Event setup and tear down takes place generally from Wednesday, June 3 and ends prior to June 7 at 3:00 PM. The large battlefield pavilions are set up on Thursday and take at least a 5 man (or woman) crew. Otherwise, if you have interest or availability for early set-up, please let us know. Many hands…
  • Registration (Gate / “Troll”) – The gate keeper for NOWM is looking for individuals interested in 2-3 hour shifts in the troll booth on Friday and Saturday of the event.
  • Parking Services – The parking services group is looking for volunteers interested in 1-2 hour shifts assisting on Friday and Saturday to help park vehicles. Stations include near the battlefield, near the bathhouse, and near the beach. You would be assisting people by parking the in predefined stalls, filling out hang-tags with contact information (in the event of double parking), and general parking questions or rules.
  • Facilities – The shire reeve is interested in individuals (both male and female) to assist with several tasks around the camp. They’re not always glorious, but they are rewarded with often relieved smiles. You would be responsible for ensuring that the bathrooms are in general order, including toilet tissue, the recovery of filled trash bins (to be placed in a gender-neutral recovery location), and ensuring the port-a-johns have enough supplies. In the past, we have had a volunteer with a truck able to run trash from around the camp to the dumpsters located on the beach side of the camp. If you and your vehicle have more availability, please let us know in the comments section.
  • Retaining for Royalty – NOWM often attracts royalty from the Midrealm and surrounding Kingdoms. If you are able to assist with retaining during the event, please let us know and the royalty liaison will contact you for scheduling.
  • Marshaling – There are numerous opportunities to marshal at NOWM. If you are interested in marshaling in any area, please let us know. Specifically, archery, combat archery, siege, and for the twilight and torchlight tourneys. If you are a marshal in training and are curious if you can get sign-offs at the event, please let us know and we will try to put you in contact with the marshal in charge of the event if the contact information isn’t listed on the Staff page.

Again, thank you for volunteering for this event. We couldn’t do it without all of you!
