Crown tournament will start at noon. All entrants must be checked in by 11 AM, with a procession starting at 11:30 AM. The tourney will be as his majesty deems.
The site is a beautiful YMCA camp. Fighting will be outside, except in the most fierce of Northern gales. Visitors should dress for the outside, in late fall on Lake Champlain, which can be very windy and chill. The king has set aside a heated hall for the shelter of his subjects, where cheer may be had by a roaring fireplace, with hot drinks available all day long.
There will be indoor space set aside for children's activities.
Lodgings: Minimally heated cabins are available with beds and mattresses, for an additional charge. There are wash houses near each group of cabins with hot showers and flush toilets. Guests may arrive Friday night. There are also inns and hotels in the area for more luxurious accommodations (contact the autocrat for more information).
