[Steppes] Gulf War camping

[vmarsh at twmarsh.net]

Greetings!
If you want to camp with the Barony of Steppes at Gulf Wars, you will 
need to pre-register at www.gulfwars.org , then please go to 
http://tinyurl.com/kkqmz4u
to register with me, the Land Overseer...I mean Coordinator.


Even if you are camping with the Royals, if you have pre-registered 
with "Ansteorra - Barony of the Steppes" as the group you are camping 
with, we should be able to get the land allocation of 15 ft x 15 ft for 
each person.Please fill out my Google Form at http://tinyurl.com/kkqmz4u 
and let me know if you will still be camping with Steppes. I know that 
life changed for Their Royal Highnesses and close friends a few weeks 
ago.

If you have done all this and have a groundcloth the size of your tent, 
please contact me and we will take it with us to war and have it set out 
for your arrival.

Baron Llywelyn and I (Mistress Xene), will be arriving on Sunday and 
will be pre-treating the site for fire ants, laying out tarps, walkways, 
and banners. We would like to ask everyone to bring as many banners that 
they can.

We will be bringing a fire extinguisher for the Steppes encampment. 
Last year, we did not have enough lighting and it was quite dark. If you 
have the proper style of tiki torches, please bring them. It makes the 
area much nicer at night as well as safer.

 From the Gulf Wars land rules, please note the following:

Fire Safety
King's Arrow Ranch is in a pine forest so the following rules must be 
followed carefully:

No ground fires
No open flames in tents
Tiki torches must be staked in a firm and stable fashion. Do not ignore 
the extreme danger involved in knocking over a burning torch.
Tiki torches may not be placed in hay bales
No bowl-type Tiki torches allowed; only those with screw-on tops are 
permitted.
All camps must have at least one fire extinguisher and buckets of sand 
or water near the source of flame.
There must be 10 feet between fire pits and tents.
All tents must be spaced 10 feet apart as a fire break.
Do not leave torches, candles or campfires unattended.
No flammable liquids may be thrown on fires.
In the event of a fire, use extinguishers and immediately send for Gulf 
Wars security.
Security patrols are authorized to enter empty camps and extinguish 
open or unattended flames.
There are a lot of brush piles and loose tree limbs around. You are 
welcome to burn these. But if you move it to your encampment and don't 
use it, please return it to where you found it. Also, please share as 
there is plenty even if you have to walk down the road. Should site 
management or the Autocrat staff determine that further restrictions are 
necessary, for any reason, such further restrictions shall be announced 
and enforced.
