Central Ferry Park - 1 hour W of Pullman, WA
It will be held at Central Ferry State Park in Washington. It is extremely easy to find. It is located on the river, directly off hwy 127. We have a group area, simply tell the person at the gate that you are with Adria and they will tell you were to go. There is sure to be plenty of parking. The fee is $5 per tent per night and $5 per person for the weekend. Shade tents don't count as tents and children under the age of 3 don't count as persons. There are hot showers on site, there is some sort of fee involved but it is small, there is running water, flush toilets, electricity and possibly ice. The nearest town is some distance (12 miles) and is very small so don't expect to be able to easily acquire supplies, bring what you need. As far as I know it is not a dry site so we can have fun but please bear in mind this is a family event and their will be children sleeping. I expect fires will be allowed in fire pits.
The outcome of this war has no really effects on anything. It is just for fun. This is just a game. Keep that in mind.
A note about the site and about etticate and protocol. The
battlefield and the camp site are a fair distance apart. The war stops at the edge of the battle field. It does
not belong in the camp. The camp is a place of socializing. The true purpose of this event is to meet and have fun with our friends from distant lands. The war should be kept in the lists. However, it does raise the problem of hauling gear to and from the battles. Now most if not all Alhambra's gear will be stored in the keep so there will be no need to lug it about on Saturday. To
this end, Gloucester may wish to set up a munitions dump near if not on the battlefield. There will be no raiding of armories! Anyone doing so will be stricken from the lists.
Combat (9 points)
The steel and rapier battles will be simple battles of attrition. Last side standing wins.
Steel is an open field battle and then a bridge battle.
Rapier ia a boat, bridge and open field battle.
Shinai is a multiple resurrection, multiple gol battle depicting aa full on siege.
Archery (9 points)
As I was compelled to give up our three day weekend for a two day weekend we do not have as much time as I would like for this event. Thus there will not be dedicated times for archery. Instead I ask that you pack your archery gear last if possible so you can shoot and
turn in your arts entries the moment you arrive. I realize that is this not always possible as some people will no doubt arrive very late, thus there will be time later as well both Saturday after the combat (or during if you are not fighting and can scare up a range master) and Sunday.

Arts (9 points)
The same goes for Arts as for Archery. I suspect we shall have far more entries this year than last year, which is going to be crazy. To relieve some of the stress on time I urge people not to do oral presentations if possible. Also if possible get your item turned in as soon as you arrive. Finally, when ever you find yourself with nothing to do, go help judge. Sunday, if there are still a great many
entries still needing judging, there may well be a mighty press ganging of judges.
