Vernal Equinox Council 2008

A Nerf equinox council took place 2008-March-21/22/23 in New York state. We discussed the upcoming regional Anniversary gathering which a previous council had consented to hold July 25 - August 3.

There seems to be enough money in the magic hat that it is not a dire problem. We need food grade five gallon buckets and water containers. The kitchen equipment seems to be in fairly good shape. We are probably short of water pipe.

Some of the Nerf water equipment (e.g. filters and possibly a tank) will be taken to the Fourth of July national gathering in Wyoming, but it should come back before the regional.

There were two items of consensus:

  1. Nerf will not sign a permit without a consensus of people on the land. (This was in response to a proposal that someone who was not at the gathering could mail in a signed permit, as happened once before.)
  2. Next council will be Memorial Day weekend, May 24,25,26 "around the bend" at Granville. This means go past the usual places in the Forest west of Granville Vermont, until the road crosses the White River and doubles back on the other side. There should be parking places on the right side of the road on the other side of the river.

When & Where was our last council?

Memorial day weekend. Around the bend.
That is, May 24-26, in Granville VT. It happened as planned, but not much happened.
