First of all, sorry for the site being down for a few hours today. There was some back-end work that needed to be completed. I was my fault, and I'm a bad, bad webmaster for letting it happen.
*smack's own hand*
The Board would like to thank everybody who came out the August 15th General Meeting at Sunset Library! We had a very productive meeting where many things were discussed in regards to the upcoming Renaissance Festival. Many of the below updates are in accordance to what was either covered or brought up during that meeting, so if you weren't there
please get in touch with somebody who was there to get caught up!
SSBD will schedule at least one more meeting before the Renaissance Festival, and it is very important that we have as many members as possible attend!
So here you go, the lastest and greatest from
shiftingsandsbellydance.org:
- Rules Companion - This is a compilation of all the State, County, and Event Obligations SSBD is expected to follow during the Renaissance Festival. It also contains all the Encampment, Camping, and Performance rules specific to SSBD. This document was originally passed out during the August 15th General Meeting and additions (the entire Encampment Section) as well as changes have been reflected in this version. It is now a requirement that when you receive your wristbands you must sign stating that you have both read and understand the obligations and rules presented in this document, so please take the time to read this thoroughly.
- Renfest Encampment Rules - This page has been updated to reflect the new information to be found within the Rules Companion.
- Links! - The links page has been re-launched with lots of goodies to assist anyone who is wishing to research what traditional speech, behavior, dress, and fabrics were during the Renaissance period. Check back to this page as it will be updated frequently!
Please remember that the SSBD rules for RenFest are there for three main reasons:
- To ensure the safety of everybody at the event, and
- To ensure that the people who pay to come see us at a Renaissance Festival get a somewhat Renaissance-y experience,
- And to make sure everybody is aware of what the State, County, and Renaissance Festival expects of us.
Please make sure to take the time to look over the rules, failure to do so could result in you being as unhappy as this guy...
... When the goal is to have a good time like these two...
As always, the comments box is open for anyone who wishes to have their voice heard (you can even post anonymously!).
