> Please forward the following to your populace, as they are important<br>> announcements regarding Sapphire Joust:<br>> <br>> Sapphire Joust is just a few short days away, and the Barony of Caer<br>> Mear is preparing to host the Kingdom for a weekend celebrating the<br>> Current Middle Ages.<br>> <br>> There are two important changes to note from previous years:<br>> <br>> 1. There are *ABSOLUTELY NO* pets allowed. No pets will be allowed<br>> on site, and anyone discovered with an animal will be removed from<br>> site with no refund. This was necessitated by numerous incidents over<br>> previous years of people not taking adequate care of their pets and<br>> their pet's byproducts. There will be a zero tolerance policy, other<br>> than those animals providing service, such as Seeing Eye or Hearing<br>> Dogs. Service dogs should be documented.<br>> <br>> There are several kennels in the general area of Sapphire Joust,<br>> however we cannot guarantee you will be able to place your animal with<br>> them if you bring it to site and are turned away at the gate. Please<br>> plan accordingly.<br>> <br>> 2. The parking lot has moved. The area that has been our parking lot<br>> for the last few Jousts is now a graded, groomed, and maintained<br>> soccer field that we are not allowed to park on. Parking will be<br>> available at the VFW Hall across the street from the event site. You<br>> may drive to your campsite and unload, but we would request you remove<br>> your vehicle to the parking area in due time. Take care when crossing<br>> the street, as traffic can come through quickly. If you arrive late<br>> at night, please leave your vehicle in camp then park it in the<br>> morning if that is a safer option for you. We apologize for the<br>> inconvenience.<br>> <br>> Please note that the weather in the Richmond area has been<br>> exceptionally wet this year, so the grounds around the site will<br>> probably be soft. Please take care to drive gently on the grass of<br>> the site.<br>> <br>> Thank you, and we look forward to hosting you for Sapphire Joust.<br><br><br /><hr />Messenger's gone Mobile! <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/msnnkmgl0010000001ukm/direct/01/' target='_new'>Get it now!</a></body>
