> This leads to several issues.
>
> 1. We need help loading the Baronial stuff Friday evening.
> 2. Steppes needs to get their Baronial stuff to us Friday evening
> also so the personal stuff can be filled in.
> 3. Personal stuff may be loaded after the Baronial stuff on
> Friday or in the Saturday AM load.
> 4. If you want personal stuff loaded, we expect you or someone
> you furnish to help load it and some of the Baronial (both
> of them) stuff.
> 5. I ate the costs of the truck last year. With the economy the
> way it is, I will not be able to do that this year. Each
> Barony will pay 1/3 of the cost of the truck for their stuff
> (based on the estimate that each will use about 1/3 of the
> capacity - if that turns out wrong we will adjust).
> 6. Personal stuff will be charged $20 for the equivalent space
> of one family sized tent with poles and three rubbermaid tubs.
> If you have more than that, you can have the tent with poles
> and five tubs for $30. Of course, this is first-come,
> first-served for the space left after the Baronies and
> my personal stuff.
> 7. Things like ballistae will only be loaded if there is room
> and will be subject to a different charge (they take up a lot
> of space unless they can be broken down easily).
> 8. All things loaded should be waterproof and reasonably
> crushproof. It may be raining during loading or unloading
> and it will sit on the site until you get there to set up.
> Last year a few things got broken when the load shifted.
> Don't give us anything that will break from a little shifting.
> 9. In particular, don't give us alcohol to carry. Last year a
> couple of six packs in a basket broke and everything near
> them smelled like beer. I also don't want to be stopped and
> charged with bringing alcoholic beverages into the state without
>
> a license (I would have a hard time saying that 85 six packs
> were for personal consumption).
> 10. If you are arriving later than Monday, please tell us so we
> can leave your stuff in the truck. It will be safe and dry
> and out of the way. We will have small carts you can use to
> bring it in. Or you can tell us that it is OK to leave it
> in the campground. Or you can arrange for someone to set up
> your campsite in advance of your arrival.
> 11. Remember to discuss why the Trimians all died horribly over
> a drink with them after the battles!
