Gulf War is coming!!!

Are you ready?  After practicing for months, prepping for weeks, packing for
days, and driving for hours will you even be able to get in the front gate?
You will if you pre-register!  The deadline for pre-registration is January
31, 2003.  After that you will have to take your chances at the gate.  And
remember, to reserve camping space in the Ansteorran encampment you must be
pre-registered.  To get pre-reg forms go to www.gulfwars.org[1] or contact me,
your friendly neighborhood Coastal Land Liaison.

Speaking of land reservation, if you have a group camping together and want to
reserve land, please choose someone to coordinate that effort and have them
get in touch with me with their contact info as soon as possible.  If you have
questions about the pre-registration process, please see the information below
(after my contact info).


Thanks,

§         Size of common area request (such as a group kitchen or dining area)

FAQS:



"Can I get on the early on list?"

-        Sorry, but the early on list is very limited and has been closed for
some time now. We do, however, need some volunteers to stay late on Sunday and
help with clean up.



"How much room do we get per person?"

-        Each pre-reserved person receives 10X15 feet of land regardless of
how many people are camping in a given tent. For example, if two people are
sharing a 10X10 tent, they still get 10X15 of land for each of those people,
for a total of 20X15 feet of land. Any extra land can be used for common areas
or whatever the group wishes to do with it.



"What's the deal with group/common areas?"

-        The land staff realizes that groups usually need common areas for
kitchens, dining or just hanging out and we try our very best to reserve
enough land for your group to have one. We cannot, however, guarantee that
there will be enough available land hence we allow each group to request a
space, but warn that it is not guaranteed.



"What if we want to let our friend camp with us even though he didn't
pre-register?"

-        Each group will receive their allotted amount of land based on the
number of pre-registered people. That should leave enough land for people to
camp comfortably. If the group chooses to let more people in even though they
didn't pre-registered, it can, but the group will not receive additional land
and things will get very crowded.



"How can we get better land this year?"

-        The land staff is very aware of the layout of the land and what
happens when it rains. Every year we do our best to make sure that each group
gets good land but unfortunately we can't guarantee that it will happen -
there simply isn't always enough good land to go around. Still, if your group
camped in a particularly bad area last year, please advise your regional
coordinator, and we'll do our best to make things better this year.
