[Moo] Atlantian 30th Celebration - Information

[Annie Hamel]

I agree with Cairistiona, we need to figure out a way to get showers
and drinking water on site.
To me, showers are a deal breaker on a multiple day camping event.

Not having electricity or water will make it really difficult if we
plan to provide food, especially with the crowd we are expecting.
I've done it for Baronial Birthday when we were in a cow field and it
was hard enough for just 100 gentles.
