Beltaine '09

Our Beltaine event heralds the beginning of the warm half of the year! We move out of doors and set up camp underneath the stars for fires, food, and song. Yes, I said fires, for there are traditionally two (2) fires burning at this event. The Beltaine page has more general information regarding our yearly feis of Beltaine as well as links to related articles.

SITE MOVED! Beltaine will NOT be held at our traditional camp due to inclement weather! Guthrum and Finoulla have graciously offered to hold the event at their house instead. A map to the location is available to logged in members here. Crash space is limited but available.

Friday night: indoor hanging, music, and dinner
Saturday: indoor / outdoor (under dining flys) feast and festivities

As this is a camping event, please remember to bring any gear conducive
to your medieval-ness and survival. Amennites include water faucets, bathrooms and showers. The site is discretely wet so please bring period drinkware (i.e. keep all hard stuff well out of sight). We are shooting for a strong medieval atmosphere so please help us by concealing all mundania and remaining in persona.
