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. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>LAND OVERRUNS</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ghost Campers do not have a land set aside for
common ground. Ghost campers space is 250 sq. ft.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you have already registered, you can find out
how much your overrun is here: <A
href="http://pontealto.atlantia.sca.org/pennsic/campers.php">http://pontealto.atlantia.sca.org/pennsic/campers.php</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>You will also be able to see who has extra space to help you meet your
square footage.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>REGISTERING WITH THE BARONY</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you have a PENN Number be sure to include the period it contains. ex.
1234.567 not 1234567</DIV>
