[Pennsic] Pennsic is coming!

[SilverLoon2001 at aol.com]

Greetings! 
This is a repeat of a post sent last month (with  modifications), but time is 
growing closer and it was suggested that a re-send  might be a good idea.   
On-line pre-reg closes 15 June, and mail-in reg  closes 15 May.  Yes, objects 
in the mirror are closer than they appear (95  days to Land Grab -- do YOU 
have enough garb?)... 
If you are interested in camping with the “Caer  Adamant” encampment at 
Pennsic, please read the following before  registering.  Note that this encampment 
is not a Shire sponsored  encampment.  Affiliation is in name only. 
If you are camping elsewhere, have fun! (and hit  "delete" now) 
Pennsic XXXVI (2007) "Caer Adamant "  Encampment Rules -- 
borrowed/gathered/gleaned from a number of  sources. 
The Coopers require all campers to have permission  from the group’s Land 
Agent prior to registering. If you don't let the Land  Agent (Hedewigis) know in 
writing (paper or e-mail), and don't receive a written  (again, paper or 
e-mail) positive response, then you may not camp with  us. A verbal exchange is not 
sufficient. Please do not register first and  ask permission later. It is not 
fair to those who follow the rules.  
1.   All camp members are expected to  join the Caer Adamant Pennsic Yahoo! 
group.  This is our primary means of  communication. (Go to the Caer-Adamant 
website and click on "e-mail lists")   
2.   Once settled, all camp members are expected to wear a reasonable attempt 
 at “Period” clothing while in camp. 
3.   Everyone will have an opportunity to fill and light the communal tiki  
torches, clean up the fire pit and common areas, and take trash to the 
dumpster.  The camp fee pays for supplies, not service. 
4.   Fires (in the fire pit) must be attended at all times. Fires in tents 
are  frowned upon. 
5.   Clean up after yourself. To avoid the appearance of issuing an open  
invitation to local mammalian residents, please clean dishes and secure trash  
and food.  That said, cleaning up the morning after a party is perfectly  
understandable. 
6.   NO SMOKING IN THE PORTA-JOHNS! <sorry for the yell>  
7.   No whining.  No psycho-drama.  This is our holiday.  Be happy! 
8.   If in doubt, Camp Daddy Padraig has the final word. 
Camp fee/tax has yet to be determined. This year  we are planning to have a 
Culligan water-softening system, which will make it  unnecessary for camp 
members to purchase bottled water (this system makes even  Pennsic water 
wonderful). Sorry, we still won’t have ice-making capability.  
As more campers join us, our space will  become tighter. We have enjoyed a 
fairly open encampment in the past, but that  might change. Be aware we may each 
be required to give up 15% or more of our 250  square foot allotment to 
accommodate fire pit, walking/driving lanes, water  point and showers, etc. This is 
a common occurrence throughout Pennsic  encampments.  Time will tell.   
Final note – our site enjoys a fair amount of  shade, but with that comfort 
comes uneven terrain.  Understand that your tent location will  likely have 
bumps, dips, stumps, and tilts.  Additionally, while we will do our best  to 
eradicate poison ivy, we can not guarantee your location will be poison ivy  free. 
 In other words, come  prepared! 
In service, 
~ Hedewigis.
