Feywood, new Washington 'kin gather

Pursuant to this post from last summer where I was gauging interest for a new gather up in Washington...

Registration is now open for Feywood. The location is in SW Washington, about equidistant from Seattle and Portland (a little further from Seattle) and the gather will take place on Thursday-Sunday, July 21-24, 2011. Site fee is $36/person for the whole weekend. (Not for profit, just to help me recoup the reservation fee.) Mostly the accomodations are a shared indoor bunkspace, but you can also pitch a tent on the grounds (same cost). No meal plan, so plan to provide your own meals (groceries are available locally); this site has a kitchen with stove and refrigerator.

Fuller details on the website. There is also a mailing list you can join if you want to get announcements or would like to try to coordinate travel or equipment borrowing with anyone else attending.

I am still looking for people to present workshops, lead discussions, or otherwise facilitate semi-scheduled activities, so if you'd like to do that, just drop me a line. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

At this point things are looking a bit grim for the gather. I have received only two registration forms and neither of them has paid since mid-March (I just sent out some inquiry emails about that). Aside from that (and myself and my husband) I've only gotten a couple expressions along the lines of "hm, maybe". Unless I can get some firm paid registrations I am probably going to have to cancel the gather due to lack of interest, which is sad because last summer it sounded like there was considerable enthusiasm (about 15-20 people expressed interest; I didn't expect them all, but I was hoping for 10-12). I don't know where they all went.

Anyway, if you want to come, please register ASAP to help prevent a cancellation. In the normal course of events registration should be open until July 14, but that was assuming I would get a steady (if smallish) stream coming in, and it's not doing that. :-/

Just bumping this in case there are new folks about... there's about four or five weeks left to register for Feywood. The schedule is filling out a bit and so far we are up to about ten people. While at this point I doubt I'm going to double that (as I'd originally hoped), every warm body helps in making "critical mass" occur, which makes things more fun for everyone! So if you've been waffling, let me know if there's anything that might convince you... <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s -->

About one week left... last chance!

Also, anyone who wishes to can feel free to spread the word on their own blogs, Facebook, whatever. My network is not very large and I would rather the message got out to as many 'kin as possible.
