[Moo] Atlantian 30th Celebration - Information

[Laurie Clarkston]

Hi there.  Just looked at the picture of the site location.  It shows a wooded lot.  Is that the area or is it across the street?  

Anyway, sounds good.  

Limited water:  does that mean there is a water source?  Enough to run connections for the kitchen to use, connection for showers?  I guess some kind of plan to have enough drinking water will be a great concern of some sort.  

I know a couple of years at Sapphire Joust, there use to be water set-ups at different locations.  It came in handy when you needed water to clean dishes, etc.  It might be worth contacting them to see if they can give you the name of the person who donated those water kegs (they were plastic, and held like 30 gals) for use. 

Let me know what I can do to help.

  Greetings to the Barony and her Cantons!

  I wanted to send out a local message to you regarding recent activities concerning Stierbach's event for 2011.

  In case you haven't heard, Stierbach won the bid to host Atlantia's 30th birthday celebration.  The date is set for Labor Day, September 2-5 2011.  Our initial site was to be the Virginia State Fairgrounds, just north of King's Dominion.  For various reasons, this site appears to no longer be viable.  This past Friday, I had a site walk-through at "James Madison's Montpelier" with my wife and Their Excellencies.  The visit went well, and this seems to be a wonderful alternate location.  I am expecting a contract to be sent to me before the next Barony meeting.

  The point of this message is to lay out the potential changes to the event, and give you an opportunity to comment.  Any constructive comments are welcome on the lists.  Any destructive or inappropriate comments can be sent to me directly, I'm willing to entertain any suggestions.


  Cons - 
  Primitive Site
  No hall
  Limited water
  Limited electricity
  Port-a-Potty rental required
  Large tent rental required

  Pros - 
  Discretely Wet
  Equestrian allowed
  Pets allowed
  Pretty
  Inexpensive ($1,500 for the weekend)
  No required vendors or buyouts


  A link to the site is here:

  As far as I'm concerned, the pros well out number the cons.  Even after adding in the required rentals, the overall cost for the site should be less than before.


  Please note that the site change has not been formally approved by anyone, as of yet.  Your comments may have a significant impact on that approval process.



  In service,

  Siegfried McClure

  Autocrat for Atlantia's 30th Anniversary Celebration
