"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Oh no! That's my kids' birthday weekend!  Mmmmm, if I can convince the lady wife, we could all make a road trip and check it out as part of the general public. No armour, but then I would still get to meet you guys.

Does anybody know what the "Register no later than ____" date usually is? I couldn't find one. I know it's better to register sooner than later, but it is just way too early to tell if I'd be able make it. :-\

I don't think they have a hard cut-off. I think you can register as late as a week or two before, but of course that doesn't help them plan for space/food/water/etc.

But I think they're also OK with people registering and canceling later.

Yes, it's much preferred that you register early and if things come up, cancel later.  The opposite makes planning frustrating and difficult.  This is super early, but I wouldn't wait until September 20th to register.  Give us a good month or two in advance to allow for proper planning for things like the feast and space allocations.

Okay, cool. Thanks guys. Yeah, I wouldn’t want to wait until last minute. People with swords aren’t the kind of folks you want to have mad at you. ;) I was thinking more like late spring/early summer.

I am gonna be trying to go, gonna try to bring my friend Elliot along too as he's basically well off for it as well. Considering he's going as a Polish knight and me as a German one we could make a pretty good pair for a demo or whatever. I still have no clue what I will be doing for tents because I don't have enough room in the car for my own honestly. If anyones willing to help me with that similar to how John Kronberg did last year I would be thankful.

Doesn't look promising for me to make it this year. That's during the run of PaRF and one of our most dependable pikemen has just let us know he's got some personal issues that will prevent him from turning out with us this season. If we can find another replacement, maybe, but that ain't easy....

Preregistered.  Should we get some kind of confirmation or e-mail?

I asked the same thing, and Nicky Hughes said he received my registration. So it looks like it's just a silent submission currently, and no confirmation.
