Greetings to all who do read this missive from Gisela event steward for WoW IV,

Please pass this information on to lists and people who will welcome it.

1) War of the Wings IV gate will open at 5 pm Thursday Oct 8 and close a 3 pm on Saturday. The event will be over at Noon on Sunday Oct 11. Information of the event, schedules as they are determined and so on can be found at http://warofthewings.com/index.html

2) You must have your token to participate. Everyone 11 years old and older will be issued a site token medallion. Children 10 and younger will be issued a bracelet. Please be certain to keep this with you and visible as you do at larger wars. You will need it to register for competitions of any sort and you may be asked to produce it by members of staff throughout the course of the event. If you lose your medallion please return to the gate to get a bracelet. 

3) Deadline for pre-registration ($11 per adult member) ends Oct 1. On-line Pre-reg ends Oct 1. Land delivery Pre-registrations must be in the hands of the Reservationist by Oct 1. Thereafter gate fee is $15 per adult member. Add $3 for the Non-member surcharge if you cannot provide proof of membership at the gate. Don't make anyone have to say anything vaguely resembing the following: "Yes, Your Grace/Your Excellency/My Lord/Title of Office X, I do know who you are. I'm certain your membership is paid but I must actually see the proof."

4) If you want pre-allotted land for camping or if you wish to camp with a particular group you must be pre-registered and make this known to our Reservationist and Land Steward as explained on the Reservations page at http://warofthewings.com/reservations.html

5) MINOR CHILDREN NOT YOUR OWN - If you are bringing a minor child who is not your legal child Atlantian Kingdom Law requires you have a ~~notarized~~ Minor Medical Authorization Form found at http://www.sca.org/docs/pdf/treatminor-notary.pdf???? There can be NO EXCEPTIONS. Please don't make us send you home from Gate.

6) Anyone who wishes to volunteer at the event is greatly welcomed and encouraged to do so. There is great need particularly for Gate/Troll help, Marshals for all disciplines from Thrown Weapons to Rapier, MoLs, Heraldic crying, and so on. Volunteering also helps earn a War Point for your chosen side as the side with the most hour tokens turned in to Volunteer Point will earn a Point. Gate Duty and Privy Duty earn double credit.

Thank you all and travel safely. We'll see you in two weeks!
