[Ponte Alto] URGENT Pennsic Encampment News

[Web Wench]

 I find it difficult to believe that each and every camper registered with
Ponte Alto is over their allotment. Are you sure you are calculating land
area correctly?  250 square feet is enough to put up a 9x12 period tent with
a 3 foot rope allotment all around if you add in a small amount of 'rope
overlap'. Two people in a 16 x 16 fit within their allotted space with a 484
square foot footprint. A 9 x 12 popup tent only occupies 108 square feet.

What are you folks camping in? The entire Panther catalog?

  LAND OVERRUNS

  Based on the 14 currently registered campers we have an overrun of 639 sq
ft. Every camper except the one person registered in a hotel is over their
square footage allotment.

  Back in February we had a head count of 10 people who would be camping in
hotels. Their square footage was to be alloted to our encampment.
  It was thought that we would be able to cover any overages. Since that
time some plans have changed. Currently we have only one person registered
in a hotel.

  I apologize for any confusion this may cause. We made an assumption back
in February that has not panned out at this point in time. I am figuring
this out as I go along. I hope to put together some guidlines for next year
so that things may go smoother.

  At the Baronial meeting last night it was decided that each tent site MUST
purchase enough space to cover their foot print.  To do this you will need
to register enough ghost campers to cover your footprint. If you only need a
little space, you can share the ghost's space with other campers. If you do
not register enough campers to cover your footprint there is a possibility
we may not be able to accomodate you.

  Ghost Campers do not have a land set aside for common ground. Ghost
campers space is 250 sq. ft.

  If you have already registered, you can find out how much your overrun is
here: http://pontealto.atlantia.sca.org/pennsic/campers.php
  You will also be able to see who has extra space to help you meet your
square footage.

  REGISTERING WITH THE BARONY

  If you want to camp with the Barony you MUST register with us. PLEASE
REGISTER IMMEDIATELY. Even if you have not registered with Pennsic, register
with us. Even if you plan to stay in a hotel. The deadline is June 1st. Many
folks will be away at Sapphire this weekend or away for the holiday. There
will be little or no time to add a ghost if you need extra space.

  If you do not yet have a PENN Number, enter 000.000 for each camper when
you fill out this portion of the Barony Registration Form.

  If you have a PENN Number be sure to include the period it contains. ex.
1234.567 not 1234567



  IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS PLEASE TELEPHONE ME. Email takes longer and we are
short on time.
