CLAN MCLOTOFUS CAMPING THREAD- TRF 2009 SEASON

[Blue66669]

Welcome to the Official Clan Mclotofus Camping Thread for the 2009 Season!

Alright kids, it's that time again! We're getting the ball rolling a bit early this year, as we are undergoing some changes in the way the clan is taken care of. Due to the fact that we have grown exponentially in the past 8 months, there were some issues that we had to address during our camp planning sessions.

If you are wanting to sign up to camp with us this season, please go to www.mclotofus.com/forums and throw your name in. Please take note that I will be keeping a running tally here on the boards, but all sign-ups MUST go through the McLotofus forums.

One of the changes that we discussed for this year is the need for more donations to keep our humble camp in working condition. In the past, we have relied on sporadic donations to help cushion the costs of food, drink, and supplies. Previously, our wonderful camp cook Zaubon has shouldered all of the financial responsibility for this. We have become so large that it is no longer an option. Also, please understand that inability to contribute will NOT mean that you may not camp with us. We would still love to have all of you, and nobody leaves our camp hungry or thirsty. We're just asking that you help us out as much as you can.

The second topic is camp upkeep. There are many tasks that need to be undertaken in order for our camp to be safe and clean. We are asking for volunteers for clean up, fire duty, and other such tasks. There will be a list on the McLotofus website where you can volunteer your time and services  

Now that we've gotten all the bureaucratic crap out of the way, let's get together for the BIG 3!!!

Clan McLotofus will be present at Row 7/8 again this year for the Big 3 weekends- Opening (Oct 10/11), All Hallows Eve (Oct 31/Nov 1), and Closing Weekend (Nov 26-29) which will host the Clan McLotofus 3rd Annual TRF Thanksgiving Dinner. Remember, in order to sign up, please go to www.mclotofus.com/forums and give us your information. Details will be provided there.

ON ALL OTHER WEEKENDS, CAMP KITCHEN WILL NOT BE OPEN! On those weekends, Row 8 will be open to McLotofus, but there will be no provisions for food and drink, unless it is planned by other clan members.

*Added- You may also sign in here if you're coming on an extended visit, but not actually camping with us.

*ADDED- PLEASE REMEMBER TO SIGN UP HERE IF YOU PLAN TO EAT WITH US AS WELL, WE MUST PLAN FOR NUMBERS!!!*

Is this thread only going to include those camping with ML or will this also double as the who/when/where thread?
I ask because, while we camp almost every weekend we are there with ML, there are some weekends we camp with other groups for various reasons.
We won't know for certain which weekends we are going to be out yet because our plans will be made based on when our house is finished (*gasp* we might miss a faire weekend because we are moving dimmit)

*wonder if I should drink all the rum or pack it and just buy more... hmmm*

[Bonny Pearl]

Please be sure to put us on the list for the Big 3!  We will also be all other weekends as well. 

Gasp Teach!  You and Trinn can't miss a weekend of faire!

[Blue66669]

This list is only for McLotofus Camping. The Official Who/Where/When thread will be posted by Lady Jessica shortly.
