[Ansteorra] $7 Pennsic camp fee

[Angus MacKnochard]

Seraphina,
I have known you, and of you for a very long time.
I know what a kind and giving person you  are.

My issue is not in charging for services provided, 
but the Ideas of all Ansteorran's must pay to camp with their kingdom is wrong. 

My King calls me to war, but because I am self sufficient, i bring my own 
supplys, care for my self and my family, I dont get to camp with my kingdom.

I have been going to wars(Pensic is not the only war) for, my King for 25 years 
now, and I have never, not contributed to the camp as a whole.
Most of the services you provide, I provide for all who are near my camp.
I help out, I haul water & trash, cook, clean whatever it takes to help camp run 
smoothly.

To organize and run a camp with services, within Ansteorra would be a great 
service to King and Country, but there must be an option for Ansteorrans that 
feel the need to provide for them selfs.

It would be the same as forcing me to pay for meals, when I have no desire to 
eat

Yikes,  I didn't mean to make anyone feel excluded or unwelcome.
The whole idea behind a group encampment is to come together.
The fee was decided after a lot of thought and conversations with many.

/The kingdom and populace encampment are to support Ansteorra as whole.
We are one, not a series of individual camps.  Everyone is asked to pitch in
for the good of all.  That's why, for example, you'll see Sir Wilhelm taking out
the trash, or  Aingeal bringing water to the fighters.
*We collectively act and contribute for the honor and glory of Ansteorra.*/

When you go to an event in Ansteorra, the site fee goes to the sponsoring group
who provides things such as water, pickles, trash bags,  lighting in the common
area and such.  At Pennsic, your site fees do not contribute to this.  Your camp 
fee will.

To make things more equitable every adult is being asked to pitch in $7.  For 
most Ansteorrans,
this comes out to be a $1 per day at Pennsic.  I don't think this is too much to 
ask of people
to  make the Ansteorra camp more hospitable for both Ansteorrans and visitors.

I hope this clarifies that the camp fee isn't for individual services
but for things that better the encampment as a whole.


sincerely,
Seraphina
