==Camping Info==
A few things of note this year for Gulf Wars.

1. We will have section leaders again this year for opening weekend, if you are confused or are having problems finding a place to camp, find a section leader (just ask around for them) and they will help you find as best a place to camp as is available.

2. Royal encampments and access roads will be marked with white paint on the ground. Please do not camp in or on those locations. The access roads are there to allow people to camp further in to Calontir Land.

3. TRASH!!!!!!!! This year Kings Arrow Ranch has decided to NOT have localized (camp) trash drop off. There will be 4 trash deposits located throughout the Gulf Site. The closest one to Calontir will be close to the North Gate (please look on the Gulf Map) next to the RV camping. (SEE attached Map)

*To that end, Mast Alan of Darkdale has graciously offered let Calontir utilize his trailer for a localized trash deposit, throughout the war. It will be located where the old Trash drop was in previous years.
#ALL TRASH NEEDS TO BE IN BAGS - please don't make us have to bag up your trash to take it out
#ANY MESSY TRASH should be double bagged.
#Please be kind this is a gracious offer from Master Alan.

*The trailer will periodically be taken to one of the trash dumps throughout the war, if you would like to help with this, please contact Master Alan once you are on site.

*The trailer will NOT be available from Noon on the last Friday. After 12noon you will be required to police up and deposit your trash in one of the 4 main trash dumps.

4. Opening weekend can get hectic, please do not dally setting up your camp. As long as your car is parked on Calontir Land, someone else can not camp there.

Please cross post this to all local groups for maximum dispersion.

See you at War!

==Fundraiser==
At Gulf Wars, we’ll be auctioning off an amazing drum painted by Mia Sem'iyye Bint Tahir for the Known World BBQ contest at Lilies 2024. The silent auction will run the length of Gulf Wars, and close after the Known World Party.

==Calontir Party==

For those who don’t know me, my name is HL Allison of Forgotten Sea. I am the organizer for the Calontir Party at Gulf Wars this year! 
The party will be on Thursday evening at 9 PM in the Calontir Courtyard and Purple Pavilion. I have submitted the information to the Gulf Wars scheduler, so we should be on the Master Schedule soon! 

What’s the theme? Calontir’s 40th Birthday Bash! 

We will be doing purple and gold streamers, balloons, party favors, games, and food! We will also be having a bar, but are looking into only doing some signature drinks. 
What do we need? How can you help?
* We will need two incenitrons for lighting - does anyone have some they could bring to Gulf Wars?
* We will need several bartenders. 
* We will need setup and cleanup help.
* Tables for food and the bar.
* DONATIONS! (Party decorations, $$ for decorations and alcohol, any fun games you feel would help to increase the vibe of the party!)

Ysabel Michelle Araj will be in charge of food for the party and I am in charge of the decorations, games, and bar. 

If you would like to donate your time, alcohol, money, or decorations, please shoot me a PM on facebook or send me an email at allison @ lewis-neff dot net. 

We are excited and are looking forward to celebrating with all of you, too!

* For Calontir ❤️  HRM Ansteorra presents the Falcon Army with the Ansteorran War Banner!  (They give the war banner to groups that fight fiercely for Ansteorra in war and the group applies their arms to the banner once it's returned. This is the first time that the banner has left Ansteorra to another kingdom.)  https://www.facebook.com/1296613758/videos/302593779519375/

=Comments and Impressions:=
Calontir I would bring news of valor, courtesy and chivalry from the Viking deed as an expat. One of my Æthelmearc brothers fell in battle and could not move. He was carried off the field by two Calontiri. They are Finar and Gunnar (apologies for any spelling errors). Gareth Whitebull sustained heavy bruising but while now extremely sore, is able to bear weight on his leg.  

This. This springing to action, staying with the wounded while their army fought on is true Calontir...  Gentlemen, my debt of gratitude for helping a fallen brother holds...  In Service, THL Erzebet Fauconneau, Barony of Blackstone Mountain, Æthelmearc
