Thank you for the clarification.  I have not rented a site from
the Boy Scouts before and only understand what was permitted on
the site, from the site rules.  I would not permit alcohol on
site if that's the agreement we made with the site.

I think that would be lovely for the Coronation of our new Highnesses.  I 
think that perhaps I should be looking for
another site which could permit alcohol more "freely".  There
have been difficulties with people not regarding the rules
about alcohol before and I would rather avoid "mistakes"
regarding alcohol consumption if at all possible.

I appreciate your help in this matter.
