[Moo] Atlantian 30th Celebration - Information

Good questions!
 
The site is surrounded by:
South - Constitution Highway 
West - Montpelier Road
North - Houseworth Lane
East - The thick line of trees
 
This gives us a space of roughly 1,000 by 1,200 feet.
 
There are two spigots, but I do not know if they are on municipal water, or 
 a well.  I will verify.  In any case, attaching a shower to the spigot  
will probably not work.

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.

Subject: [Moo] Atlantian 30th  Celebration - Information


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

n=0.006279,0.009602&t=h&z=17) 

 
 
 
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
