It is not age based at all. This has led a number of groups, but not all, to discount minors by a dollar so that children of attendees (since minors could not attend by themself, there must be a parent or guardian) will not get hit with an NMS for each child and drive up the family's expenses. That is on top of having a younger children's price for the kids too young to eat as much or fully participate.</div><div><br>Respectfully,<div>Sent from my iPhone,</div><div><br></div><div>Etienne</div></div><div>Northern Regional Seneachal</div><div><br>On Sep 1, 2011, at 8:03 PM, Aubrey Lea <<a href="mailto:aubreyericstochter2@yahoo.com"><a href="mailto:aubreyericstochter2@yahoo.com">aubreyericstochter2@yahoo.com</a></a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><div>I was under the impresion that minor did not have to pay NMS regardless of the site fee.</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Namron mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:Namron@lists.ansteorra.org">Namron@lists.ansteorra.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/namron-ansteorra.org">http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/namron-ansteorra.org</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
