A Belegarth event run by Huma (Derek Schultz) from Babylon.
This years theme is Rampaging Bears.Please invite everyone and everybody who you think would love to come!
Info also posted on Facebook at
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=1 ... _invites=0Also I want to express my appreciation to everyone who wants to COME to Western Wars but might lack food, shelter or friendship. If you come, I can provide Shelter, food and/or clothing and you will have many fellow fighters who would gladly let you join them around a fire.
HOWEVER for those of you who are in POOR finical situations, I WANT you to come. Even if you can't PAY to attend Western Wars (Which would be awesome but I know a few of you are down and out.) I'm Providing a few spots for people to VOLUNTEER their time instead. Meaning that you help with feast, run a few errands for me, help with weapons check and/or troll, or heralding and you can pay for the event by your service.
No I won't have you running around doing total * work like getting me food or rubbing me down with oils. You want to be at the event and have fun, I'm at the event and I would love to have fun but sometimes there's things going on that I have to do and I need helpers to make it go smoother. Just get in contact with me either on the boards, by emailing me at
Dschultz26@hotmail.com or calling me 541-815-7229 and we can talk it over.
PRICINGPre-Reg is
NOW open. Pre-Reg will be by
PayPal, Check and Cash ONLY.
Pre-Registration fee is $30
Non-Registration fee is $35
To send Cash or Check. Email me at
Dschultz26@hotmail.com for my address. I must receive this by Sunday May 8th 2011.
To pay with Paypal - Send to
Dschultz26@hotmail.comPaypal pre-reg ends Wednesday May 11th 2011.
Important!! If you plan to use PAYPAL for means of paying your event fee, PLEASE NOTE that by using CERTAIN types of payment, there are FEE'S attached. This includes "EChecks, Credit cards, Debit Cards, and Paypal credit" which is 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction.
What doe's that mean? Even if you are making out $30 to send you will get d...educted by fees meaning I only get $29 instead of the full $30. TO ENSURE you do not get fees on your payment, make sure you send money via a BANK account transfer. If its real money being transferred between accounts, there are NO fees. If you have ANY questions how this works, please let me know.So far only one person has sent money via paypal and I'll just chalk that up to my fault for not mentioning the fees in my update. Otherwise please ask if you need help understanding paypal.
For those of you who are only coming out for a day or maybe two days. Seek me out at the event and we'll work something out, I would rather have people show up rather then fill like they can't come because of monetary issues.
WHOLE EVENTI will not be doing, or running, any tournaments. We've never had them in the past that I can recall and it's supposed to be a relaxing event anyway. I would rather people spend time on the field rather then standing around watching people. If there is enough interest in having said tournaments, send me a message requesting it and I'll work it in.
Here's the info on the campsite we will be staying at.
http://www.parks.wa.gov/parks/?selected ... ubject=allIt is called Beacon Rock Washington State Park.
The group camp is for tent and RV use. It accommodates 200 guests. Facilities include one kitchen shelter with power and one picnic shelter. There are two Adirondack (three-sided) sleeping shelters and two vault toilets. Showers are available in the main campground and moorage area.
For those who are traveling from FAR away, I'll make sure you guys get the sleeping shelters and if you need tents, food or ANYTHING! Please let me know!
Western Wars 8 is located about an hour to two hours away from the Portland International Airport for those of you looking to fly. We have and are more then willing to share tents, sleeping bags, food and weapons for anyone coming out of state!

DIRECTIONSFrom Highway 14 coming from either East or West. On the north side of the road look for a tiny house with a flagpole out front and a big stone rock with the words "Beacon Rock State Park" written on it out front RIGHT NEXT TO THE ROAD. There is also a road sign that says "Kueffler Rd" turn onto that road and drive up about a mile, there will be another sign that says "Groupsite Camp A" on the left, you cannot miss it. Turn onto that and you will be at Western Wars. This year I will try to have better signs out.
